Why did I train to become a HypnoBirthing educator? Because I know the difference it makes to ladies and their birthing partners as I was one of those ladies….
After a traumatic birth with my first baby in 2017 (I won’t go in to details), I decided that if I was to have ever have a second baby, I was going to do it differently. My attitude with my first was to not really think about it and just take any medication/ follow instruction from medical practitioners. This was definitely not the best approach. I was tense, panicked and my partner had no idea to support me other than fetch me water and try to be encouraging (even though he himself said he felt scared through the whole thing).
Fast forward to 2022 and we wanted to be educated and find ways to relax with baby number 2 when a friend suggested Hypnobirthing. I was sceptical at first as I didn’t think it would be for me. How wrong I was! Hypnobirthing is for every woman who wants to have an empowered and calm birth, with a supportive partner who knows how to support you best. We learned relaxtion techniques, worked on overcoming fears- rewriting that negative subconscious, found birth positions that I found comfortable and helped baby down, learned breathing techniques for all stages of labour, worked on our birth preferences and how to speak up for what we wanted, whilst we also learned about the power of the mind and gained a greater understanding of birth and how my partner could support me. In my partners words ‘I felt helpful and not useless when you had Albie!’
Honestly, it changed my perception of birth altogether from a medicalised procedure to something that is beautiful and empowering.
If you want to know more about the course I offer, just drop me a message. It isn’t a rushed few hours. I work with you and your birth partner/s weekly to support you up until (and in the weeks after) your birthing day. It is 12.5hrs of sessions, split in to 5 weeks where Hypnobirthing becomes an inbuilt practise by the time of your birthing day. You can’t ’learn Hypnobirthing’ in an hour. It is something that you practise daily and I can support you with this. 🌿🩵
