Hello, my name is Brenda O'Toole and you are very welcome to aleanbh-antenatal.ie
 
Your pregnancy is an amazing journey and an opportunity for growth. It is an opportunity for us to understand ourselves, our bodies even more as we grow mentally and physically for the birth.
 
Your precious baby too is preparing for birth and I believe it is every baby's right to be born as gently  and calmly in to this world.
 
That is why proper ante-natal preparation is crucial in understanding the birthing process. Research has shown that women who prepare mentally and physically for birth have shorter labours, less discomfort, fewer complications and thus proceed to have a positive experience around this important 'rite of passage'.
 
I offer two different choices of Ante-natal classes. Both types can be claimed back through health insurance,
 
1. Ante-natal classes regular-
 
This 'active birth' programme allows you to be very informed about your pregnancy, giving you choices on your pregnancy, your birth and in the early days after your baby is born. This is based on up-to-date evidence based research and hospital guidelines re pregnancy and birth. Please see 'class content page '. This class also can explore use of complementary therapies as a safe means of support, Homeopathy, reflexology and massage.
 
2.HypnoBirthing classes ®
 
HypnoBirthing is all about achieving deeper levels of relaxation through self -Hypnosis, overcoming any anxiety or fears that can interrupt the birthing process. This allows birth to be an empowering, fulfilling and joyful experience. Pain is minimised if not completely eradicated! Baby is born very gently too. Scientifically proven and loved by hospitals. Please see 'HypnoBirthing page' and see facebook for reviews and pieces of research. Also includes all baby care, so no need to go to another class.
 
Is mise le meas,

Brenda
