WHY HYPNOBIRTHING
Because it works, it's that simple. The course combines so many tools and tricks, that it is very hard to find a person that would step out of the course without finding at least few that would stick. My role is to present to you the opportunities, and find the ways to incorporate what you like most in your daily routine. This way when you find yourself on that special day, you know exactly what to do, feel more at ease, in charge, and totally ready to meet your baby.
There is no magic or big secrets revealed, it is about bringing out what is already in you, but sometimes we simply need that bit of help to start seeing it ourselves.
​
The HypnoBirthing philosophy is based on the belief that a healthy woman carrying a healthy baby and having a healthy pregnancy, who is properly prepared, is able to have a comfortable and gentle birthing. Through a well-thought-out program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, special breathing techniques, visualization, affirmations, and education, HypnoBirthing returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby in safety and with ease.
THE ADVANTAGES OF HYPNOBIRTHING
The advantages of HypnoBirthing®:
-
Eliminates the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during and after birthing
-
Reduces, often eliminates, the need for chemical anesthesia, episiotomy and other interventions
-
Lessens fatigue during labor, leaving the mother fresh, awake, and energized as she brings her baby into the world
-
Shortens the thinning and opening phase of labor by hours and allows the birthing mother to utilize the natural pulsations of her body to breathe her baby down to the crowning stage, rather than pushing for a long, exhausting period (reduces risk of pelvic floor damage)
-
The birthing companion is an integral part of the birthing, not an onlooker
-
Babies are better adjusted and happier, resulting in better eating and sleeping routines
-
Brings mother, baby and birthing companion together in a wonderful bonding experience
-
Special breathing almost entirely eliminates postnatal discomfort and 'baby blues'
-
Mothers don't run the risk of hyperventilating from shallow breathing
-
Birthing is returned to the safe, beautiful, peaceful experience

WHAT OTHERS SAY
"Highly recommend the HypnoBirthing course. Veronika helped me to understand that there is a positive way to look at the birth and replace the fear that I had. I learned so much, and it definitely helped me during the labor and the birth of our beautiful baby. Me and my husband we were very happy with everything that we learned. Once again many thanks, Veronika!!"

ABOUT THE TEACHER
Veronika has always been interested in how the mind works, how we can influence our minds, and how the mind effects our bodies, our beliefs, and our behaviors. After finishing a Bachelor I Psychology, Veronika got pregnant with her first child and was introduced to Hypnobirthing for the first time. While preparing for her birth with Hypnobirthing, she learned more about the mind-body connection, what happens in the body during labor and birth, and how, as expecting parents, we can benefit this natural process by working with our minds and our bodies, educating ourselves, and making informed decisions. This is also when her passion for childbirth really kicked off.
​
After having experienced two beautiful and empowering births herself, she decided to start teaching Hypnobirthing herself, with the goal to provide more parents with education and tools that can help them prepare for and influence their own birth experiences in a positive manner.
Veronika does not want to limit herself to helping parents prepare for birth, she wants to be able to offer her continuous support and guidance on this special journey through pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond. So she decided to deep dive further into the birth world and started studying to be a doula. She is now a doula in training, and offers her support as such to expecting parents.
Veronika and Kasia first met when Veronika during her second pregnancy started attending Kasia’s prenatal yoga classes. They soon discovered they have a common passion for childbirth and specifically for Hypnobirthing.
Here is where you can read more about Veronika and what she does.
