I tried hypnobirthing and can’t recommend it enough

Marie Claire explores hypnobirthing and includes expert insight from hypnotherapist Ailsa Frank.

A Marie Claire writer describes trying a personalised course of hypnotherapy with Ailsa Frank before the birth of her first child, alongside the wider rise of hypnobirthing.

Ailsa explains how a tailored course can address specific fears, lower anxiety and give a sense of control in labour, using distraction, breathwork and visualisation. Over four phone sessions she helped the writer reframe her idea of the ‘perfect birth’ and replace fear with excitement.
