Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every pregnancy, labour and birth were a positive experience for all new parents.

For many mums-to-be though, anxieties and fears about pain and complications, overshadow what should be one of the most wonderful and happiest events of their lives.

Fortunately more and more mums are now discovering the incredible power of using hypnosis for a calm, confident, relaxed and empowered childbirth experience.

The benefits of hypnosis for both mother and baby during pregnancy and labour are now well documented and include;

• Reduction of fear and anxiety
• Pain management
• Shorter labour and fewer drugs
• Babies who sleep better and feed well
• Mothers are less tired and more confident
• Babies generally have a higher APGAR score
• Better bonding with baby
  

Studies have also found that less medical interventions, such as epidural, forceps and caesarean sections are needed when women have been taught self hypnosis prior to the onset of labour.

I work with mums-to-be (and their birthing partners) on a one to one basis usually from 20 weeks into their pregnancy. The programme consists of 4 x 1 ½ hour sessions – these sessions will prepare you on both a conscious and sub conscious level for the whole birth process. The approach is flexible, positive and interesting. I’ll take account of how you feel now, respect your wishes and guide you towards the birth that you desire for you and your baby.
