Hypnobirthing is a birth education programme that teaches mothers how to remain calm and in control while giving birth. It teaches self hypnosis, positive thinking, relaxation techniques, and breathing techniques together with physiological aspect of birth. Mothers understand best birthing positions and learn physical preparation. 
​
Mothers and fathers learn how to release fear and anxiety about birth. It informs mothers and fathers about hospital routines and procedures, and reminds them that they do not have to follow them blindly.

Hypnobirthing teaches simple, practical techniques that can help to make all the difference. However the most important thing is that you believe in what you do and I can help you to see things from other perspective and give you more insights. There is no need to empower anyone, because I believe that women are already powerful.

​Hypnobirthing is a birth education programme that teaches mothers how to remain calm and in control while giving birth. It teaches self hypnosis, positive thinking, relaxation techniques, and breathing techniques together with physiological aspect of birth. ​By attending this course, you will gain all necessary information about the Czech system and how to navigate in it. We will go through visualisations, breathing exercises, affirmations, exercises to maintain optimal foetal positioning, videos and pictures.

Be ready to creatively cooperate so that the birth of your baby is smooth, enjoyable and on your own terms.

My name is Michaela Kalusova and I will be your lecturer. 

For the past 7 years I have worked with hundreds of couples both in London and Czech republic and tought them hypnobirthing. Hypnobirthing is fantastic for mum, partner and baby. I incorporate all my knowledge into this course.

Course overview

  • Connection of the body and mind
    We will explore the connection of the body and mind. We will talk about your fears and worries and wishes and understand how the language of birth can shape your perception of birth. You will find out how to overcome this perception and cultural fears and how to start programming yourself to change your experience. We will be using re-framing and we will create a new language of birth. At last but not the least, we will talk about hormones so you understand how and why they affect the birth and your experience of it.

We will practice breathing exercise and you will understand the importance of calm and relaxed breath. We will also talk about pre and perinatal psychology and you will find out how and why to bond with your baby in the uterus.
