In this beautifully enlightening episode, we speak to doula, hypnobirthing instructor and trainer, and birth facilitator, Dani Diosi from Mama Serene Birth about the importance of preparation for birth.

If it is true that no one would dream of entering a marathon without training, why do we, as modern women, believe that we can go into birth – one of the most challenging and transformative moments of our lives – without preparing both physically and emotionally?

We explore ways to physically prepare our bodes for the best possible birthing outcome, and talk with Dani about the misconception behind the term “hypno”birthing, and uncover with her how it is instead a way of rewiring our brains to believe we can birth our babies in the way nature intended, which we now know through extensive research, offers innumerable benefits to mother and baby, including long-term immune strength and emotional wellbeing.

Our intention with this episode is to arm women with knowledge, and thereby empower them to make decisions regarding birth based on informed choice, and to believe in their innate ability to birth their babies.
