Look into my Eyes
Elle Dormer HypnoBirthing
You’ve spent nine months mulling over the small stuff — nursery colours, the benefits of an econappy and the font of your baby announcement cards.
The big stuff — how the heck am I going to get this little person out?! — you’ve put firmly to the back of your mind.
Elle Dormer helps bring it front and center. The Kennington-based HypnoBirthing specialist teaches you (and your birth partner) fool-proof relaxation techniques to help you deal with each stage of the birthing process. Plus, you’ll learn to embrace and trust your instincts.
Just like Mother Nature intended.
