NATURAL CHILDBIRTH WITH HYPNOSIS
Imagine
a Birth without fear...
A birth where mother and baby are joined in peace and serenity...
The soothing sounds of the birth coach creating peace in the mother's
body...
While she experiences birth the way nature intended....
Hypnosis is an easy way to create a totally peaceful state in the chemistry
of the body that will allow the muscles to relax so deeply that the fear
melts away, the muscles release the adrenaline and pain is released.
Some mothers are so relaxed, that it can be almost impossible to tell
when they are having a contraction. Some women say they feel pressure,
but no pain.
Most women have shorter labors during hypno-births and the pushing phase
is more like a flowing into the world. The mother's body is so relaxed
that the baby just flows out in ony a few pushes.
THE HYPNOSIS BIRTHING TRAINING
Four sessions, once a week with Mom and Dad if at all possible. 2 hours each session. You are also welcome to have
a private Hypnosis Birth training on your schedule. The training includes

as wonderful as it is! You will also recieve CD's to make the birth as
fun and natural as possible.

A
BEAUTIFUL PEACEFUL EXPERIENCE OF LOVE
Natural Childbirth through Hypnosis is a natural method of allowing
your body to give birth to your baby, peacefully... and in many
cases, painlessly. Many Natural Childbirth through Hypnosis mothers
say they experience pressure, and sensation during birth, but
not pain.
The experience of pain in childbirth is the result of an unnatural
process of fear, which produces tension, which creates tightness
and clamping of the muscles, which results in pain.
You will understand how the uterus is meant to work, and how unwanted
"fear and tension then creates pain". It is a cycle
that interferes with the natural process of birth. This tension
actually works in oppostion to the body giving birth. You will
understand why it
is possible to experience childbirth in a peaceful way.

Observing animals giving birth gives us a clue as the way nature
intended for us to give birth. Animals are often very peaceful and
content during birth. Cats are often caught purring while having
contractions! Why do humans have such a different experience? Some
cultures have peaceful and calm births because this is what they
have observed and this is what their mothers taught them. A labor
and delivery nurse recently told me that Laotian women who come
to the United States give birth quietly and calmly, but once they
have been indoctrinated in our cultural experience of birth, they
experience pain, screaming and intense contractions. Before anybody
showed them or told them it would hurt, they just did what they
knew. They relaxed and let it happen peacefully. |
THE
DATELINE SHOW
You may have heard about Hypnosis for childbirth on Dateline. It showed
the experience of two women having a very easy and painless birth. An
interesting part of this was how these women were not sure if they would
be able to do the hypnosis. Most women have doubts that they will be
able to achieve trance and have a peaceful birth.... and most women
are pleasantly surprised to find out that they "have what it takes"
to achieve this. So, even if you have doubts about your ability to have
an easy Hypnotic Birth, remember that these fears are a result of conditioning
by our society. You were born to know how to experience birth, and taught
something entirely different. Your body already knows how to do this!
We will help you remove all that other stuff about pain and suffering.
You deserve to know how birth was meant to be experienced.
HYPNOSIS BIRTH TRAINING
Classes are usually weekly, group or private.
Four sessions of 2 hours each-
Includes hypnosis and self-hypnosis training, a birth plan, hypnosis
audio recordings to condition your mind/body for the joyful event and
a birth plan for you to provide to the doctors, hospital, midwife or
any person(s) involved with your birth to ensure they do it YOUR WAY,
the natural way, the peaceful way.
HYPNOSIS
FOR BIRTHING
Being in a profoundly relaxed state can help to shorten the labor.
One of the reasons for this is the amazing amount of communication
between the mind and body. When the body is instructed to flow
with the birth process and open and release tightness and tension,
the entire body is in harmony with the downward movement and opening
that can produce a shorter birth. In many cases, the doctors and
nurses observing a Hypnosis Birthing mom don't feel she is progressing,
because she is quiet and calm. There is often an element of surprise
in the rapid dilation of the cervix, and the short amount of time
spent in the pushing process. Because the mind is instructing
the body to relax and open and there are absolutely NO FEARS, TENSION, OR NEGATIVE BELIEFS about the
labor, the body can open quickly and efficiently. A recent magazine
article about this hypnosis during childbirth method show how
the babies seem to "flow" out, rather than being pushed
out. Very often the pushing process is smooth and efficient, with
less tearing and less trauma to the baby.

BIRTH
TRAUMA
Therapists who are trained in regression types of therapy can tell you
interesting accounts of adults regressing back to the time of their
birth. In many cases the trauma of the birth is re-experienced from
an adult awareness and the emotions and physical sensations can be now
put into words. Many adults who experience re-birthing or regression
to emotional problems that were caused by birth trauma, find great relief
in releasing the issues and blocks that they received at birth.
Hypnotherapists also agree with the experience of many others... birth
creates an entrance into the world that sets us up for emotions that
can hold us back or move us forward. Decisions are made about our identity
and often locked in place as a result of birth trauma.
An interesting book, called Babies Remember Birth, did some great research
into the details that were reported by an adult re-experiencing their
birth. Case after case turned up proof that the events remembered were
accurate. The emotions of the mother and father were recorded by the
baby. Emergency procedures were documented and remembered in the babies
mind. Even voices and conversations were accurately identified.
What does this mean? It means
that birth matters. It is possible that a large part of who we are could
be a result of our birth. Think about it. The first real fear that we
experience... bright lights, fear, pain, cold, being lifted and moved,
poked... happens at the moment after birth. By reducing the amount of
trauma to the baby during this process, it is potentially possible that
you will produce a happier child, and a more fulfilled adult.
During a hypno birth the baby spends less time listening to screaming,
moaning and feeling constricted. The baby's journey down the birth canal
is usually very quick, allowing for an entrance that is not already
marked with pain and fear.
Personally I would rather flow into the world in peace and harmony than
to listen to agonizing moans, and nurses yelling PUUUSH! It just might
be that these babies have a little bit of bliss to start their lives.
We don't really know the real impact of birth trauma. We owe it to our
babies to give them the most loving start possible. Just as a cat purrs
for it's newborns....imagine, if your baby could feel your loving voice
and the music of your soul as a welcome to the world!
HYPNOSIS FOR BREECH BABIES
Hypnosis has been shown to turn a breech baby, often within minutes
of the session. A study on breech babies turned with hypnosis, also
showed that these babies stayed in the proper position, where babies
turned manually often returned to the breech position.
This effect is even more evidence that the baby is clearly receiving
communication from the mind of the mother and from the outside experiences.
I
also recommend enlisting the suport of a midwife if you are considering
having a homebirth.
