Hypnosis for childbirth
All too often the process of childbirth is simply seen as a necessary ordeal to endure if we want a baby. It doesn’t have to be that way: labour and birth can be one of the most wonderful experiences of our life. My aim is to empower you to make this happen.
The ‘Hypnosis for Childbirth’ model uses self-hypnosis, relaxation, visualisation and breathing methods to prepare mind and body for birth. It teaches pain management skills and aims to boost confidence so you manage, rather than fear, childbirth. It is about reaching a state of deep relaxation, maintaining perception of control over the process and developing a positive attitude. It is about changing the expectation of birth. If women expect to be in agony they are likely to experience it. ‘Hypnosis for Childbirth’ mothers go into labour feeling calm and confident.
