Congratulations on your pregnancy and a warm welcome to Ryedale HypnoBirthing.

You may have read about HypnoBirthing or had it recommended to you, and be curious to find out more. I hope that within this website you will find all that you need to make the decision as to whether HypnoBirthing is the way forward for you, your partner and your unborn baby.

Pregnancy is a very exciting time for you and your family, and I can totally understand expectant parents’ wishes to make the best choices for themselves and their babies when planning their labours and births.

HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method is a complete birth education programme that teaches simple but specific self-hypnosis, relaxation, visualisation and breathing techniques to enable a satisfying, relaxing, calm method of birthing.

My name is Helen Priestley and I am a HypnoBirthing mum who was in your shoes just a few years ago, read more about my story here. HypnoBirthing has grown incredibly since that time, mostly through word of mouth from the positive birth experiences of many thousands of women in the UK and beyond.

I hope that you will find all that you need within these pages to convince you to take a closer look at the wonderful world of HypnoBirthing, perhaps starting with the inspiring real life birth stories and testimonials from local women just like you.
