Top 10 Benefits of Hypno-birthing with Me
So you’ve vaguely heard of hypnobirthing - maybe as some weird hippy dippy concept or from a raving recommendation from a friend who has used it to help them in their birth and loved it - but you’re still not really sure what you would get out of it that you can’t get through your NHS antenatal classes.
These, in my opinion are the top 10 benefits of doing a hypnobirthing course with me:
Top 10 Benefits of Hypnobirthing
Let go of FEAR!
If you are scared of birth I want you to have a complete mindset shift and I will arm you with the tools and support to help you get there.
Learn how to RELAX!
Sounds silly, why do we need someone to teach us how to relax? But actually we aren’t very good at relaxing these days. I can help with this and there are so many benefit to relaxation in pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Can help REDUCE PAIN!
And if an all natural drug free birth is something you want, using the tools and techniques to help you manage pain can help with this, so you are less likely to need extra pain relief. BUT also, if you want to have all of the drugs (or some) then you absolutely can - this is not about no drugs it’s about giving you all the tools to use in the best way that works for you!
INCREASE YOUR CONFIDENCE to advocate for yourself and ask questions!
Because going with the flow in most cases just isn’t going to cut it - if you want things to go in your favour in your pregnancy and birth my advice is to question EVERYTHING!
Become INFORMED about your choices and interventions you might be offered.
This ties in with the previous point about asking questions and this is absolutely NOT about being anti intervention, all of these things have their place when needed. But you want to know what you’re agreeing to right?
Trust your INSTINCTS!
I will talk a lot about doing your research and asking questions to make informed decisions. And that part is important. But once all that research is done and you know what you want, I can also give you tools to help you get back out of your head, allowing you to tune into your body and listen to what your instinct is telling you!
Feel more IN CONTROL!
And not only that but learn to focus on mindset in terms of controlling the things you can but also being able to let go of the things you can’t control.
BIRTH PARTNERS feel more involved.
How many times do you hear a birth partner say they felt a bit of a spare part. No spare parts here - birth partners are an integral part of the whole process and in turn you will feel more supported too!
ONGOING SUPPORT from outwith the maternity care system!
You have my ongoing support from booking right up to birth. Sometimes speaking to someone objective from outwith the ‘system’ can be super helpful!
TOOLS FOR LIFE not just for birth!
These babies will someday become toddlers (and even teenagers) - calm breathing is just one of the tools you will learn in Hypnobirthing - need I say more?
Sounds good? There are loads of options to work with me from the full 121 course to group courses, shorter intensive courses and even a short zoom session. Check out the rest of the website for more information and please never hesitate to get in touch if you want to ask any questions.
