Course Description

Hypnobirthing isn’t just a course, or even just a way to birth, it’s a philosophy for living which will empower and support expectant mums and dads as they navigate their way through what is one of the most important journeys of their life.


How Does Hypnobirthing Work?
Hypnobirthing is all about cultivating The Big 3:
Endorphin – the body’s natural painkiller
Oxytocin – the birth hormone
Oxygen – the fuel of the uterus
To cultivate The Big 3 our ZenMuma hypnobirthing is based around the easy to remember acronym SIMPLE Birthing.

SIMPLE birthing stands for:
S – Self-hypnosis: deepening techniques, positive
thinking, affirmations, visualisations.
I – Intuition: tuning in, listening and believing.
M – Mindfulness: breathing, progressive relaxation, soft muscles, soft jaw, soft gaze.
P – Preparation for birth: places to birth, birth props, birth preferences and birth positions of choice.
L – Loyal birth partners: The Birth Protectors! Whether it’s a husband, sister, mother or best friend.
E – Endorphins: how to promote and keep the bodies natural painkiller.

Hypnobirthing is about using particular tools and
techniques to promote The Big 3 so that mum and birth partner feel absolutely prepared and ready to birth their baby simply, without fear, with calm excitement and a sense of empowerment and joy.

ZenMuma Hypnobirthing is the world’s most affordable and effective hypnobirthing programme, teaching you to birth simply, and in calm control.

I have had the pleasure, and the honour, to have personally helped many hundreds of couples birth in empowered calm control, including a few names you might recognise; fitness blogger and influencer, Carly Rowena and her lean machine husband Leon Bustin, and Production Manager Harriet Humphries and her husband former BBC sports presenter and now BT Sport frontman Jake Humphries. 

"Sebastian was born with no pain relief at all and his birth was everything we hoped for. Seb is the most calm, placid and happy baby and we can’t thank Jackie enough for all she did for us." - Harriet and Jake Humphries

“This weekend we’re at the beach with the wonderful ZenMuma learning Hypnobirthing &  I honestly couldn’t be more excited for the waves to start happening so that we can retreat into our own little bat-cave & meet bump!” - Carly Rowena and Leon Bustin
