Her own experience
Helianthe has used the HypnoBirthing tools and techniques with the birth of both of her sons. As she had never given birth before and was affected by friends and families awful birth stories, she was still somewhat sceptical and still not 100% sure whether the birth could be something different than what you see in the movies. By practising the breathing techniques, listening to the CD and following the program, her first son was born in hospital without drugs or intervention, a natural birth that took only just under 4 hours. The second time she was pregnant she decided to give birth at home and gave birth naturally to her second son in a record-time of 1 1/2 hours. She really believes that following the program and adjusting her belief made all the difference and if she hadn’t prepared in such way, her births would have been completely different.
