A calm, positive and empowered birth journey with Dr. Poonam Kataria — evidence-based childbirth education for confidence, relaxation and control.
At ILSS Hospital, Faridabad, our Centre of Excellence for Hypnobirthing, led by Dr. Poonam Kataria, offers a modern, evidence-based approach to childbirth that empowers expectant mothers with confidence, relaxation and control throughout pregnancy and labour.
Hypnobirthing is not about hypnosis or being asleep during labour. It is a scientifically supported childbirth education method that combines deep relaxation, breathing techniques, visualisation, positive affirmations, mindfulness and birth education to reduce fear, manage pain naturally and create a calm birthing experience.
By reducing fear and anxiety, the body produces more natural endorphins and oxytocin — the hormones that support labour progression and pain management. Whether you're planning a normal delivery or a Caesarean birth, hypnobirthing techniques can help you feel more prepared, informed and confident throughout your pregnancy journey.
Our structured hypnobirthing programme prepares both mother and birth partner for a calm, informed and positive labour.
Sessions cover how labour naturally works, the stages of childbirth and the hormones involved, alongside deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation and guided meditation to build calm, confident birthing techniques.
We teach natural coping techniques, relaxation-based pain management and visualisation exercises to reduce the fear-tension-pain cycle, alongside birth planning, hospital preparation, labour positions and movement during labour.
Birth partners learn how to support the mother emotionally, practise relaxation techniques together, assist with breathing exercises, provide comfort during labour and build confidence throughout pregnancy — making childbirth a shared, empowering experience.
Hypnobirthing is suitable for a wide range of expectant mothers.
