    Course summary

    Royal Relaxation is a 6-week online, group relaxation course for you and your Partner*. Experienced, Hypnobirthing Midwives from The Royal Surrey Hospital lead the sessions. Each week enjoy a Midwife led guided relaxation and an exploration of topics and strategies to support relaxation and aid emotional preparation for birth and parenthood.

    Relaxation has positive effects on pregnant people and their developing baby by reducing adrenaline and cortisol and promoting the love hormone Oxytocin. Therefore, we recommend every pregnant woman to join a relaxation course if possible. The course is ideal for those wishing to explore or further their knowledge of Hypnobirthing but can be attended by anyone with an interest in emotional wellbeing or relaxation. No Hypnobirthing experience is necessary.

    • 6 online sessions each with a different focus

    • Continued support from expert qualified midwives and specialist advice from our in-house Cognitive Hypnotherapist Midwife

     

    In Detail

    Each session is live and unrecorded. Every week there will be group interactive discussion on a scheduled topic with practical suggestions and time for questions in addition to a guided relaxation. The sessions last for 45-60mins depending on the length of the group's interaction.

    Week 3: Baby Sleep

    Did you know that most sleep advice on the internet and from well meaning friends is not based on research evidence and doesn't take account of natural variations between individual babies?! This postnatal exploration of sleep uses the latest research evidence to present practical suggestions to support improved sleep patterns for the family unit. 

    Week 4: Play & brain development

    In the final week of the course we take a look at baby body language and use that knowledge to inform our quality time with them. We look at the importance of play and discuss some simple play suggestions to support their brain growth and development , including tummy time.
