Are you looking for an evidence-based approach to birth that seeks to empower you with mindset & practical tools for a positive and empowering birth experience.
My A Better Child Birth program is exactly what you need to get there!
By the end of an ABC Hypnobirthing course you will feel informed about the physiology of birth, equipped with techniques for managing labour pain, and have tools for how to make informed decisions during your pregnancy and birth.
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is not one thing. It's lots of little things that when they come together they create a really powerful tool that can have a very positive influence on your birth.
For me Hypnobirthing is:
Education on the birth process so we know what to expect and can work with our body
Having knowledge about birthrights and options so that we can make the right decisions for us as individuals
Creating a positive birth mindset
Creating a supportive birthing environment, where partners are actively involved.
Having techniques to use in labour to keep our mind and body calm and relaxed, support the physiology of birth and manage labour pain.
Whats the Hypno part all about
Hypnobirthing works to eliminate fear and build confidence surrounding birth by using hypnotherapy to send messages to our subconscious mind.
Hypnosis induces a deep state of relaxation in our body and mind, switching off our neo-cortex (thinking part of the brain). This helps us become less sensitive to everything around us, allowing us to focus inwardly and be more in tune with our body and optimise the flow of hormones.
The biggest inhibitor to smooth and comfortable birth is our over-thinking and highly sensitive human brain. That’s because it influences what hormones are released into our body and our hormones determine our reaction and feelings.
Hypnosis allows the body and mind to be in a relaxed state during childbirth and that’s the perfect place to be to let birth unfold most effectively.
Everything's better when we are calm, happy and relaxed right?
So much of birth preparation is focused on the conscious mind (read this book, learn this position) when actually birth is largely driven from the unconscious mind.
Thats what make Hypnobirthing so special
Hypnobirthing is the only form of birth preparation that works on a subconscious level, reframing our core beliefs on birth and this has a huge impact on our experience of it.
It can help reduce fear and anxiety, promote relaxation, and create a more positive birth experience. Many parents report shorter labor times, reduced need for pain relief, and a greater sense of control and empowerment during childbirth.
Hypnobirthing focuses on a positive birth rather than perfect.
Birth can be unpredictable sometimes but the aim is for you to come out of it feeling good about the experience on a whole,. feeling a sense of empowerment and control in the situation.
Hypnobirthing can't guarantee you a perfect birth but it certainly will:
Prepare you for the emotional and physical aspects of birth
Give you more natural options for comfort
Have you more emotionally equipped to deal with all eventualities especially if birth deviates from your ideal
