GENTLE BIRTHING WITH HYPNOSIS
By using hypnosis through your pregnancy, giving birth can be a gentle relaxed and comfortable process as it enables you to work with the rhythms of the contractions rather than against them. It is the fear and anxiety lodged in our minds that gets in the way and causes our bodies to tense up. You will learn how to control the level of discomfort you feel by using self hypnosis, breathing techniques and simple mental exercises.
Mothers who have had a traumatic birth previously have commented how much easier and calmer their deliveries were after learning these techniques.
So why choose hypnosis for childbirth?Helps to alleviate morning sickness

world calmly and peacefully.
The birthing course is four sessions that start around 20 weeks into your pregnancy, these sessions will include:
Deep Muscle Relaxation
Self Hypnosis and Breathing Techniques
Birth Rehersal
Pain Control Techniques
I also like to invite your partner to your third session to teach him a gentle massage technique that is extremely beneficial to you and to give him an opportunity to ask any questions he may have.
All sessions are backed up with CD's and handouts.
