HYPNOBIRTHING
The way you think affects the way you birth.
Hypnobirthing is for every birth. It isn’t about the ‘perfect’ birth, it’s about achieving a genuinely positive birth experience, regardless of what that looks like. It’s science-based too.
Welcoming a baby into your life (no matter how that happens) is one of the biggest life transitions a person can experience and yet so many of us go into it with very little preparation. I’m not talking about buying the pram or the cute little clothes. Yes, some basics are important of course, but I’m talking about allowing yourself the headspace to really focus on what’s about to happen, what’s going to change and how you can feel relaxed and in control of that transition throughout pregnancy and birth. This will allow you to fully embrace and even enjoy the entire process.
How you feel in the lead up to and during birth matters. How you feel about the experience afterwards matters too.
With my guidance, you will learn the tools and techniques you need to feel calm and confident. You will feel connected to your body and your baby. The end goal is to welcome your beautiful baby in any way that feels right to you, helping you to make the best, informed choices you can in the circumstances presented to you.
Not only will you learn about the physiology of birth, you will learn how to breathe for labour and birth; you will learn how to relax (properly); and you will learn how to visualise a place of safety to help you to manage the ebb and flow of labour, feeling calm and at ease throughout. Because birth can be unpredictable, we talk about the medical interventions that might be available to you so that you feel prepared. We discuss your birth preferences for a variety of different scenarios. I will share with you a number of techniques to help you manage the more intense and powerful moments of birth and I will teach you how to relax into birth, without resistance. Knowledge and relaxation is key. When you understand the power of your body, how the muscles work, how the hormones work and crucially, how your mind works during labour, you will learn how to make your baby’s birth easier, quicker and more comfortable.
