The Calm Birth Method: Your Complete Guide to a Positive Hypnobirthing Experience

I really enjoyed reading this book. It provides informative and relevant topics to the table. Along with this, practical ways to deal with birth and labor. Thank you!

I bought this book a few weeks before I was due, and it really helped me learn the benefits and importance of staying calm and optimistic about childbirth and through the birthing process. The breathing techniques and other tips are great! While I wouldn’t say I’m a hypnobirthing pro after labor, I would def. say this book is well worth it for anyone looking to have the best birthing experience possible. I’m REALLY glad I read it and like being a part of the online FB community.

This book was helpful in getting me into a calmer mindset about birth. It was a quick read that emphasised our ability to be prepared for birth with our birth preferences, to make informed choices, and to have a calm birth despite unforeseen circumstances that may arise.

My girlfriend recommended this book to me and let me tell you it is AWESOME! I love how it's written and it has alleviated my fears of labor. This book helps you understand that our bodies were made for this, and that we are strong enough to do this! It also helps you be more aware of how much we take into consideration other people's fears and embed those negative thoughts into our mind. It has helped me and I am really looking forward to labor now !

Second time mom. First time doing a natural birth. The breathing techniques are very easy to remember and there is a different one for each part of labor (staying calm between contractions, the actual contraction, and the pushing phase). I love that contractions are called "waves" and the whole premise behind it is your breathing helps keep your body calm and the lack of tention allows your uterus to easily move the baby down. As recommended, I'm already practicing the breathing techniques to prep for labor and I am greatly looking forward to my labor this time around.

Really helpful information and easy to read.

I do want to preface this review by saying that I do think this book had some really good guidance and valid points. I don't regret reading it.That being said, I feel like there were many moments in the book where they referenced their courses that are accessible online. Some of the information in the book wasn't nearly descriptive enough, and suggested various courses for more information. Some topics weren't even covered in the book at all, but were touched on in their online courses. Oh, and did I mention that the courses online are hundreds of dollars?Bottom line: If you want an intro to hypnobirthing there are plenty of free resources online. If your intention is to use this as a supplement while doing their online courses then go for it.

You definitely want to read this book to prepare you for labor. Even as a yoga instructor and energy worker, I still found this book helpful. I had a lot happen during my birthing experience (for one, I needed a blood transfusion), but I was able to stay calm and also felt empowered to ask questions and say no to certain things. This book helped with all of that.

I found this book alongside the online course to be amazing and really insightful.. it’s definitely changed my perspective around birth and being able to keep going back to it has been so helpful. Would recommend to anyone else who is expecting and wanting to change their mindset on the birth experience!

This book are perfect to support all moms!

Really enjoyed this book. If you are open minded, this book would really benefit you. I always had a fear of birthing and this book really shifted my thought process. Truly enjoyed it.

Thank you Liz and Suzy for writing this book, hypnobirthing had always seemed so inaccessible and this book does such an amazing job at presenting all the wonders and benefits. Can't recommend enough!

I purchased this book in my second trimester to learn more about hypnobirthing. It had some great practical tips.
