Thank you again for a great session on Sunday. It really helped me to grasp the basics of self-hypnosis and I was amazed to realise how easy it can be to reach a state of deep relaxation. I have been practising every day since. Thanks again for helping us to get a step closer to our goal of relaxed childbirth.

Why Hypnobirthing?
Giving birth – bringing new life into the world – should be one of the most amazing experiences of a woman’s life, but too often it is blighted by fear, trauma and pain. It is even expected that this should be so; pregnant women are bombarded with negative messages about the birth experience. Yet this negative expectation really creates the very situation it predicts. The truth is that women are designed to give birth, and in the vast majority of cases the uterus is perfectly structured to do so easily. When fear runs riot, all the natural systems that the body has in place to give birth easily and smoothly are compromised, and pain is the inevitable result.
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing aims to combat the fear-tension-pain cycle so that birth can be what it really should be – a joyful, calm and happy experience. Women are encouraged to take back their own power from the medical establishment that, with the best intentions, often disempowers them. They learn that they can relax and trust their body to do what it was designed to do.
Women are taught how to use simple breathing, massage and visualisation/self hypnosis techniques that, given time and practice, really do work. The results are often magical – births that are calm, happy and beautiful experiences.
And the results are not limited simply to the birth itself. Hypnobirthing babies are reported to be calmer and happier after the birth and certainly it is true that a woman who is serene during her pregnancy as a result of using the techniques is bound to be more equipped to cope with the rigours of looking after a baby.
How I work
I work one-to-one with expectant mothers and their partners, as I believe that building a relationship with a practitioner gives a better and more effective experience, one that is tailor made to your needs. It is also easier for people trying to run busy lives to be able to schedules sessions at their convenience.
