HYNOBIRTHING Itʼs time for women to become empowered and elated by the birth process once again, and this is absolutely possible with hypnobirthing. My dream is that all babies have the opportunity to enter this world in a beautiful, calm and positive environment – the way nature intended.” Your bodyʼs natural anesthesia (endorphins) will replace the stress hormones that create pain. Without fear and tension, you will be able to work in harmony with your body. You can be awake and aware throughout the birthing. At the moment of birth you can fully experience all the intense feelings and sensations of the miraculous moment and begin to bond immediately with your baby. What Is Hypnosis? Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxed concentration and focus. What you experience with Hypnobirthing is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book, staring at a fire, or are driving a car. You will be fully in control and able to carry on normal conversation. You can remain in touch with instruction, encouragement and support of your birthing companion. You will be aware of your surges, but you will feel relaxes and calm. Classes Cover: Hypnotherapy, Self hypnosis, Breathing, Relaxation and Visualisation Techniques.
