Transforming Birth, Together.
Theresa Pearce - Hypnobirthing Teacher
The Problem
Have you noticed how often expectant parents feel unheard or left in the dark during their birth experience? It’s a real issue in today’s maternity system—procedures are done without clear explanations, and decisions are made without proper consultation. It’s no wonder so many women worry about whether they’ll be able to cope with the experience of labour, especially with all the stories they hear. Have you thought about how this might affect you or your birth plan?
The Solution
At New Moon Baby, we do more than teach relaxation techniques—we prepare you and your partner to navigate the challenges of birth with confidence. Our hypnobirthing courses combine practical tools, informed decision-making, and holistic pregnancy wellness, so you’re ready for every possibility. Together, we’ll help you stay calm, empowered, and prepared for a positive birth experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
When should I start Hypnobirthing?
​
We suggest beginning Hypnobirthing anytime from 20 weeks into your pregnancy. The more you practice, the more successful your experience will be, so once you've decided to try Hypnobirthing, go ahead and book your sessions. However, don't worry if you're further along than 20 weeks—Hypnobirthing can still be highly effective even if you start later in your pregnancy. It is never too late in pregnancy to start.
Does my partner have to attend?
It would be wonderful if your partner could join, even for some sessions, but it's not essential. Every course includes a printed parents handbook, so your partner can still be involved. Practice is key, and your partner can practice with you at home. Even if they can't attend the course, we encourage you to share what you've learned. They play an important role during the birth, and understanding the process will benefit everyone.
What is the 'Hypno' part of Hypnobirthing?
​
The 'Hypno' in Hypnobirthing refers to the use of hypnosis techniques to help you achieve a state of deep relaxation and focus during childbirth. This involves guided imagery, visualisations, and positive affirmations to calm your mind and body. By practicing these techniques, you can reduce stress and fear, which helps create a more comfortable and positive birthing experience. Hypnobirthing empowers you to trust your body's natural ability to give birth, enhancing your overall well-being and confidence.
Can I use Hypnobirthing in the hospital?
​
Absolutely! Hypnobirthing can be used in any birth setting. You'll learn deep relaxation techniques that work wherever you are. This course is a comprehensive antenatal program, so you'll gain a thorough understanding of the labour and birth process. It also guides you on navigating the NHS system, discussing your rights and decisions. There are many ways this course can enhance your labour and birth experience, and you'll learn how to make this happen in any setting. We'll cover all birth settings during the course.
What if I need a Caesarean section?
​
This course is all about empowering you to make the best decisions for yourself. There are many practical and positive techniques you can apply to a caesarean section to enhance the experience for you, your partner, and your baby. If a caesarean is unplanned, you'll have all the important information you need to be prepared for any unexpected situations.
Can I still have pain relief if I am doing Hypnobirthing?
​
Absolutely! You have the choice to do what feels right for you. While practicing Hypnobirthing may reduce your need for pain relief, there's no reason to feel bad if you choose to use it. At New Moon Baby, we aim to provide you with the best knowledge and tools to help make your birth experience positive.
