Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond with Hypnosis

Hypnosis birth or hypnosis birthing is gaining recognition. Your subconscious mind is responsible for your bodily functions. It keeps you breathing, it digests your food, it keeps your heart pumping. Using hypnosis to manage pregnancy, birth and post partum experiences just makes good sense.

The use of hypnosis for pregnancy, birthing and post partum is popular in the UK and the States. Slowly but surely, the benefits are becoming known here in Canada. Terri has been trained as a hypno-doula and received additional training with Edmonton based obstetrician Dr. David Brown and completed a Birthing from Within course.

Hypnosis is not meant as a replacement for more conventional pre-natal care. It simply is one more powerful tool for women to be aware of.

Fathers are encouraged to attend a portion of sessions. Dads can learn to support Moms to enter and deepen trance thereby allowing the birthing muscles to relax more fully, allowing for a more comfortable birth for both mother and baby.

Hypnosis can help you to:

Manage stress and fatigue before and after birth.
Strengthen your confidence in your body’s ability to give birth.
Lessen fear and tension which helps the birthing muscles to relax.
Reduce the amount of chemical analgesia and anaesthesia which may be required.

Postpartum, hypnotherapy can be powerful in terms of assisting new Mom's to manage stress and release weight.

A hypnosis birthing mp3 program is available for those who are curious/interested but unable to come to sessions.
