Day Time Royal Relaxation- Online Pregnancy Relaxation Course | Paid for Courses

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.

Royal Relaxation can be accessed free by Midwife referral for some Royal Surrey Clients.

Royal Relaxation includes:

• 6 online sessions each with a different focus
• 6 weekly Midwife led relaxations
• 2 MP3s to download for your continued relaxation and hypnobirthing practice at home.
• An opportunity for further practice, trouble shooting and more in depth reflection regarding Hypnobirthing techniques
• 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.
