Meet Freya, your virtual birth partner from The Positive Birth Company! Freya will coach you through every single surge with a simple breathing technique and visualisation. She will help you relax between surges with a mix of guided relaxations, positive affirmations, gentle music and calming visualisations. Freya makes it easy for you to keep track of your surges and you can visit the log at any point to see how frequently your surges are coming and how long they are lasting. Freya will also let you know when your labour is established and when it might be a good time to contact your midwife. You will never birth alone with Freya by your side.
TRACK YOUR SURGES
In hypnobirthing we refer to contractions as surges, as a ‘surge’ more accurately describes the sensation you’ll experience when in labour. Freya is the ONLY hypnobirthing-friendly contraction timer on the app store, designed specifically with hypnobirthing mums in mind, but can be used by anyone.
PREPARE FOR BIRTH
You can also use Freya in pregnancy to help you relax and prepare for your birth. In fact the more you listen to the guided relaxations and positive affirmations, the more familiar they will become and the more effective they will be at helping you relax when it comes to birth. Positive affirmations have been proven to change the way your mind works and listening regularly will help you feel less anxious and more confident in the lead up to birth.
THE SCIENCE
We know the more relaxed you are during birth, the more oxytocin you will produce. Oxytocin helps your uterus to work efficiently, making labour faster and more comfortable.
LIFESKILLS
You can also use Freya post-birth any time you feel you could benefit from taking some deep breaths or need some help finding your zen. Everything you learn through using Freya - mindfulness exercises, breathing techniques, the benefits of taking time out - are skills for life.

2023-10-23 (U.S. App Store)I really love this app. I used it for both of my homebirths. Having the guided breath work during contractions really helped me stay centered and get through the toughest back labor. Thank you thank you thank you!
2023-07-17 (U.S. App Store)I used this app throughout the labor of my first baby. The app is not overly complicated and the features are straightforward (no need to navigate a difficult app during contractions…). The UX design is nice. I would gladly use Freya again in the future!
2022-09-19 (U.S. App Store)Extremely helpful meditations for any part of pregnancy and beyond.
2021-03-11 (U.S. App Store)The relaxation tracks were so calming. It was so nice to be able to track surges /contractions. I listened to this constantly when I was in the hospital during labor. I was really in a trance and did a natural birth!
2021-02-19 (U.S. App Store)I used this app to track my contractions and to help me keep calm during active labor. It was incredibly useful. And this is coming from someone who took Lamaze and Bradley Method birthing classes!
