Show Notes
Never tried a guided relaxation before? This short track is a great place to start. It's designed to be used in the evenings as you're getting yourself settled down, ready for bed. Don't worry if you fall asleep. Your brain is still listening and relaxation is what we're after, and asleep usually means relaxed, so the track is doing it's job!
The intention of this practice is for you to connect with your body & baby, recognising any worries that may be cropping up for you and to begin to work on letting them go.
If you enjoy using this track, or would like to chat more about using hypnobirthing tracks to prepare for birth, I would love to hear from you! Just fire an email over to [email protected] or share your thoughts with the world and leave a wee podcast review!

More from Hypno-WHAT?! Modern Hypnobirthing with Claire.
In this episode, I’m talking about identity and how it’s shifted for me as I've gone back to work and what it means to find myself beyond motherhood. Lately, I’ve been feeling the contrast between the confidence and contentment I found during matrescence, and the self-doubt that’s come with stepping back into my family business where I no longer feel like the expert. I share some personal moments that have really highlighted this for me including a pretty confronting experience at a climbing class where I felt completely out of my depth. These experiences have made me reflect on how uncomfortable growth can be, and how easily my inner critic jumps in when I’m in unfamiliar territory. I also talk about how the mental and physical load of parenting can make all of this feel even harder, and how our brain’s negativity bias can convince us we don’t belong when we’re actually just learning. This episode is a bit of a brain dump, but also a reminder (for you and for me) that it’s okay to be in the messy middle of figuring out who you are.
Welcome back to The Hypno-WHAT podcast. This episode is a little reintroduction to your host, Claire, and an overview of what The Hypno-WHAT podcast is.
A little musing on my life as a mother to twin toddlers and a six year old.
After attending a beautiful, totally hands-off, zero-intervention VBAC on the labour ward at the weekend I felt drawn to share my thoughts. This is a little debrief of my experience of birth on the labour ward.
Today we're exploring the idea of 'having a hypnobirth'; what the stereotypical idea of a hypnobirth is and how useful I think that is! Spoiler - I don't think a hypnobirth is a thing.
