Hypnosis for Birth

Helping you achieve a wonderful birth experience


Hypnosis for birth changed my life!

After the long and difficult birth of my first child I wanted a different experience with my second.  I wanted to feel more in control and I wanted it to hurt less!  I found a hypnotherapist specialising in hypnosis for birth.

After my sessions I was more confident, calm and excited about the birth.  The birth itself was as close to perfection as I believe it could have been.  I remained relaxed throughout and as a result everything was able to happen naturally and quickly.  The difference between my two birthing experiences was enormous.  I realise now that I was ‘holding back’ during the birth of my first baby and, even allowing for the fact that no two births are exactly the same, it was nevertheless a powerful example of the effectiveness of hypnosis.

I gave up my career in business management and I am now a clinical hypnotherapist helping to move people forward in many situations in their lives. My experience with hypnosis for birth was a turning point in my life and I bring this experience with me into my therapy.  I am thrilled to be helping others achieve a wonderful birth experience.

How can hypnosis for birth help me?

Through the use of hypnosis for birth I will teach you self hypnosis techniques so that you can be relaxed, calm and confident in the lead up to, and throughout, the birth of your baby.  You will also learn useful breathing techniques which work in harmony with your self hypnosis.

I will work with you to let go of any unnecessary anxieties you may have about the birth of your baby.  Through hypnotic suggestion and guided visualisation (just another term for imagining!) I will help you to feel in control of your birthing experience, allowing you to work with your natural instincts.  You can enjoy relaxing deeply, which benefits you and your baby.  You can also take away a copy of my free CD and use it for practice in the lead up to the birth as well as during the birth itself.

 

How many sessions will I need?

Ideally my birthing programme takes place over four sessions spaced about a week apart, and starting when you are around 30-33 weeks pregnant.  If you choose to undertake the four sessions my fee is reduced to £50 per session (instead of the usual £70 a session).  Your birthing partner is very welcome to attend some or all of the sessions and it is particularly useful for them to attend the third and fourth.

As with all my therapy it is based on you as an individual and if you would like to talk about alternative programmes please get in touch.  Alternatives include an intensive day course (your birthing partner is welcome to attend!) and weekend workshops with other couples and/or individuals.

If, like me, you want to feel more in control of your birthing experience call or email me using the contact me section.
