Pregnancy, childbirth & the benefits of hypnosis

Learning ' Self Hypnosis' before giving birth not only makes giving birth easier but also eases the pregnancy and the stresses and strains of being a parent. So why is hypnosis so helpful?

Everyone knows that what you think can affect the way you feel - Blair Witch is proof enough that the imagination can cause the body to react.

In the same way, anxiety can get in the way of natural childbirth processes but hypnosis can unpick this response:

• allowing expectant mums spend more of their pregnancy in a relaxed state
• regularly rehearsing being relaxed during childbirth
• learning real skills to bring down her pain levels and put her more in control
• and stimulating the release of endorphins - nature's painkillers.

Relaxation during pregnancy has also been shown to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your baby, meaning your baby is less likely to react to sudden noises or other stressors. There's nothing better for a good night's sleep than a calm baby!

For you or anybody you know who would benefit from a less stressful, more relaxed birthing experience -
