Hypno Birthing

Being pregnant and looking forward to meeting your baby for the first time should be one of the most enjoyable experiences of your life! But all too often nowadays we are hearing that pregnant women, and couples, are consumed with doubts and concerns over the myriad of decisions they have to make – should you take this test? - should you take that vitamin,? - should you birth at home or hospital? - and so on…

And then there is the Labour - and all the stories that everyone so willingly shares with you as soon as you tell them you are expecting! These added stressors may affect the health of mother and unborn baby, and it is important to be as relaxed and confident as possible.

For this reason, Sheryl has put together a Calm Birthing Programme that involves 4 sessions prior to the birth and 1 session following the birth.

These sessions address important issues, such as:

• Learning to calm your mind and relax your body.
• Improving inner confidence and self-esteem levels.
• Addressing individual concerns regarding childbirth and parenting.
• Effective pain support techniques for labour.
• Self-hypnosis and positive self-talk for keeping the mind focused.
• A home visit, clinic or online session after the birth, to help with any issues that you may be experiencing - feeding, bonding, emotional issues, returning to work.

Sheryl believes the follow-up session with clients is just as important as the sessions prior to childbirth - allowing them to address any areas of concern and work on increasing their confidence levels as new parents.

This programme even works well if you choose to have someone else support you as your birth partner - such as your Mum, Sister or best friend.

Your support person is encouraged to become involved in the process - so they are informed as to how Hypnotherapy may help you through childbirth.

This programme is best commenced around weeks 16-20 of your pregnancy, however Sheryl has worked with women as late as 32 weeks into their pregnancy.

Childbirth Testimonials

"Our baby boy was welcomed into the world in the most natural and calm environment. I was so happy to be aware of everything that was happening, and so thankful I had the tools to manage any discomfort, with a new life coming through me into our beautiful world. Hypnosisworx gave me the knowledge and skills I needed to go into labour with confidence. I was excited when it started, knowing I could use everything I had learned, and that everything would be smooth sailing. And it was! I felt like it was over too quickly as it seemed so manageable. I loved my experience of using hypnotherapy through the birthing process. I was in complete control and centred in my body, and focused on the new life. This special state really is a gift and I am so thankful I knew how to use it. I encourage any woman who is expecting to be pro-active in their birthing experience and go see Sheryl - to create amazing memories, and a precious story to one day tell the little soul who has no birthing trauma!"
