Hypnosis for Pregnancy and birth
Classes cover the following:
Eliminating Fear
Fear is what limits us as humans, once we understand our fears and eliminate them we can embrace the birth and not approach it with trepidation.
Control Pain
Birth isn’t meant to be painful as discovered by Dr. Grantly Dick Read. And it isn’t for many people around the world, so why in the west particularly do we have very painful births? Because we have little understanding of pain and how to control it.
Our bodies produce the most powerful pain killers (endorphins) naturally and yet we have forgotten how to use these. We will teach you techniques to control your pain levels – it is possible!!!
Relaxation
Many of us think that a cup of tea and our feet up watching TV is relaxation!!! You will learn to relax your mind and entire body during the most anxious times; through simple self hypnosis. Learning to relax not only promotes good health and well-being for you but also for your unborn child.
Breathing
Breathing is incredibly important to our bodies; it is what gives us life. And yet most of us pay little or not attention to it. During pregnancy it is vital that we learn various breathing techniques that not only prepare our body for birth but to become habit so that when labour begins our bodies know how to breathe for the ultimate birthing experience
Mental and Physical preparation for the birth
We are all very aware what is involved and yet when it happens it is often a shock for both the mother and baby. We will show you visualisation techniques as well as using hypnosis to help prepare you totally for the birth. We offer guidance on exercises to help prepare your body for birth and we have a DVD that you are able to purchase specifically for pregnancy, which incorporates yoga and chi gung exercises.
Reiki and Reflexology
During the course there will be classes that offer Reflexology and Reiki treatments. Further treatments can be booked with our qualified Reiki Master and Reflexologist. The benefits of these treatments are amazing and we would suggest regular treatment throughout your pregnancy.
Please note we only accept ladies who are 16 weeks pregnant or over
I believe that Kerry's techniques helped me to feel in control of what was
happening, they enabled me to believe that my body was in fact capable of
labouring and delivering a baby without any medical intervention. She
helped me to feel confident in my ability which allowed me to have a very
positive birth experience. So different to my first experience. Thank you
