Katharine Graves' HypnoBirthing blog talks about her passion for her work at The HypnoBirthing Centre, where she teaches couples to take control of their own childbirth process, allowing them to give birth more naturally, comfortably, quickly and with reduced or no medical intervention. As well as running HypnoBirthing courses, Katharine is also a doula, craniosacral therapist, nutritionist, kinesiologist and mother of four grown-up children.

New class location for London

We're really pleased to announce that we've found a great new location in which to hold our central London HypnoBirthing classes.

Its easy to get to as well, being in the Union Jack club just opposite Waterloo Station. The ease of getting there by public transport is obvious, and there's an NCP near by as well so driving in at the weekend (when we hold most of our central London HypnoBirthing classes) is not out of the questions.

The rooms are lovely too, so it should be a nice central location for couples embarking on the journey of parenthood!

Have a look at the site for details of our courses there - its on the Hypnobirthing
London page, and remember there are also courses at Triyoga Primrose Hill, or in Teddington (near Kingston Bridge) for those who prefer to remain out of town!

Looking forward to seeing you all there,
Katharine

News of my new HypnoBirthing Grandchild!

I'm very excited about the progress of my second grandson Nicholas Peter Graves who was born to my daughter in law Trudy and my son Arthur on October 30th. I will be able to visit them again on Monday and see how the little darling is getting on after teaching the Teddington course on Sunday, and obviously looking forward to seeing how much he's grown in the week since I was him last.

Trudy gave birth to Nicholas after a 6 hour labour (she arrived in the hospital fully dilated and gave birth to him half an hour later - and that was her first baby!). Actually that reminds me about the mother who complained that her labour was too short and she felt she didn't have time to get into it - maybe hypnobirthing works a little bit too well for some mums!

Anyway Arthur, Trudy and Nicholas will be off for a trip to Australia in a few weeks, not bad for an 8 week old. He will also get to visit his Australian Grandfather (Trudy's dad) Peter Crawford in Brisbane which will doubtless make both of their days.

I must post a photo of little Nicholas soon for all you other broody mums and grandmums!
