Today I’m excited to be joined by the incredible Rosie Purdue, a fellow pelvic floor physio and a hypnobirthing consultant. We dive into what hypnobirthing is, why it’s called hypnobirthing,  and what the benefits of hypnobirthing are. She also shares her top tips on how to use hypnobirthing principles to improve your childbirth experience no matter how you give birth, and even beyond birth throughout your life. 

I’m sure everyone will be able to take something away from this episode so sit back, relax, and enjoy!
