A Bit About the Classes

What to expect

Childbirth hurts - right?

Most people expect giving birth to be painful. We grow up with this idea and it's re-inforced every day in conversation, in what we see on TV, in films and what we read. Even midwives and obstetricians expect it to be painful. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy!

Find out why and how you can change this.....

Change the way you think about birth and feel the difference.

Knowledge is power!

Learn how your body gives birth.

What helps when giving birth and why.

How to work with midwives and doctors.

Where is the best place for me to give birth?

What to do when things don't go to plan.

Increased knowledge and awareness put you in control

What makes these classes special?

Changing the way you think about giving birth takes more than just knowing what to do and what a positive experience it can be. These classes are designed to help you release the deeply held negative ideas about labour and the fears that often accompany them. Learn how to let go of these ideas and replace them with a confident, positive outlook.

Changing deeply held ideas can help your body give birth more easily - find out why.

Techniques

Some really simple and effective techniques to help your body work as well as possible and release your body's own natural pain killers. A lot of what you learn is really useful in other parts of your life too and helps you manage life after birth - what a bargain!

Partners

Too often partners find themselves feeling helpless and redundant during labour and wishing they could be proactive and involved. Classes and books sometimes tell partners what they can do but then leave them to sink or swim - these classes also show partners how, increase confidence and help you explore together what works for you.

You can do these classes on your own or with a partner - it's the same cost.

So what's this hypno stuff?

Firstly, we just want to reassure you that we can't make you do anything you don't want to do. It's just very deep relaxation - the same as when you are dozing off to sleep or just waking up. A handy thing to learn how to do at other times - wouldn't you say?

I can help you to use this very relaxed state to:

release negative ideas, anxieties and fears
increase your confidence
help your body give birth more easily and smoothly
stay calm in difficult situations (handy after birth too!)

What I can't do is make you do anything you don't want to do!
