Understanding Hypnobirthing and Natural Birth Preparation

Hypnobirthing uses guided relaxation, breathwork, visualisation, and subconscious reconditioning to prepare you emotionally and mentally for labour.

It is not about being passive or disconnected. It is about:

  • Reducing fear-based tension

  • Supporting physical relaxation during labour

  • Encouraging positive expectations around birth

  • Strengthening communication with your birth team

  • Building confidence in your body’s natural ability

Through structured pregnancy hypnotherapy in County Monaghan, we gently address fears or negative narratives that may be increasing anxiety.


How Calm Birth Techniques Support Labour

Fear activates the stress response, which can increase muscular tension and discomfort. Calm birth techniques focus on shifting the body into a more relaxed and regulated state.

Releasing Fear and Anxiety

We explore and soften subconscious fears around labour. This helps reduce anticipatory anxiety.

Nervous System Regulation

Breathing and relaxation exercises support parasympathetic activation, encouraging calm.

Guided Visualisation

Positive imagery strengthens emotional resilience and confidence.

Building Trust

Confidence reduces panic. When fear decreases, your body can function more effectively.

Who Hypnobirthing Is For

You may benefit if you:

  • Feel anxious about labour

  • Have heard distressing birth stories

  • Want a structured, natural birth preparation approach

  • Prefer one-to-one support

  • Are preparing for your first baby

  • Want practical techniques to feel more in control

Whether planning a hospital birth or an assisted birth, pregnancy hypnotherapy complements your existing maternity care. It does not replace medical advice or obstetric support.

Clients often report:

  • Reduced anxiety during pregnancy

  • Improved sleep

Dorren Quinn is ICHP qualified, INLPTA certified, ICF ACC accredited, and a full member of the EAPH, ensuring professional standards and ethical practice.


In-Person and Online Support for Expectant Mothers

I primarily offer in-person hypnobirthing sessions in County Monaghan, as I personally find that face-to-face work often creates the deepest sense of connection and grounding.

However, online sessions are also available if needed. Many clients benefit from remote support when travel is not practical.

This flexibility ensures you can access hypnobirthing in Co. Monaghan and beyond, in a way that suits your circumstances.
