About Helen

My name is Helen Yates and I am a qualified hypnobirthing teacher and midwife. I am a member of the Institute of Hypnobirthing®.

I have worked as a midwife for 17 years and have seen many changes in childbirth trends. However, natural childbirth has always been my preferred area of practice.

In these days of increased medicalisation of birth and rising caesarean section rates I believe that hypnobirthing now gives women the tools with which to rediscover their natural birthing instincts and thereby enjoy safer, easier and more comfortable births.

About hypnobirthing®

Hypnobirthing® is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stree free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentility, calm and joy.

Some course highlights

• how the mind and emotions affect the body,
• why labour hurts and why it doesn’t have to,
• preparing your mind and body for birthing,
• developing ultimate-depth relaxation,
• understanding what happens to the body during labour,
• tapping natures own anaesthesia,
• breathing for birthing.

Benefits of hypnobirthing®

• reduces and often eliminates the need for chemical painkillers,
• Lessens fatigue during labour leaving the mother more energy for birthing,
• a calm, peaceful birthing environment rather than one that is stressful and tense allowing parents to experience a serene and joyful birth,
• a relaxed baby who feeds and sleeps well.
