COURSE
HYPNOBIRTHING®
Teaching
mothers and birth companions techniques for safe and
satisfying birthing through guided imagery, visualisation, and
special breathing.
WHAT
IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis
is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration – a
state of mind and body in which we communicate suggestions to
our subconscious mind. This part of our mind influences what
we think, how we feel, and the choices we make. It can
actually control pain.
There is no magic to achieving success with self-hypnosis.
Almost anyone who chooses to can reach deep relaxation and
redirected focus.
When having your baby with
HypnoBirthing®, what you will
experience is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that
occurs when you are engrossed in a book or staring at a fire.
You will be conversant and in good-spirits, totally relaxed
but fully in control. You will be aware of your body’s
contractions, but will be able to determine the extent to
which you feel the surge. You will experience your birthing in
an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, without fear and tension
that cause pain. Your body’s natural anaesthesia (endorphins)
will replace stress hormones that create pain.
When it is time for your baby to be born, you will be fully
awake and involved.
DEFINITION
HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy as it is a technique.
It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress free
method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies
should come into this world in an atmosphere of gentility,
calm and joy. When a mother is properly prepared for
birthing physically, mentally and spiritually, she can
experience that sort of joy, birthing her baby in an easier,
more comfortable, and often, even pain free,
manner. Through a well-thought-out program of deep
relaxation, self-hypnosis, and education,
HypnoBirthing® returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way
that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts
and to birth her baby in safety and with ease. HypnoBirthing®
is based on the belief that severe discomfort does not need to
be a natural accompaniment of birthing.
THE
HYPNOBIRTHING®
ADVANTAGE
 |
Eliminates the
Fear-Tension-Pain syndrome before, during and
after birthing. |
|
|
Reduces, and often of labour
by several hours and allows the birthing mother to
utilise the natural pulsations of her body to
breathe her baby down to the crowning stage,
rather than pushing for long, exhausting periods
of time. Reduces the risk of pelvic floor damage.
|
|
|
Brings the mother, the baby,
and the birthing companion (father) together in a
wonderful prenatal, perinatal and postnatal
bonding experience eliminates, the need for
chemical anaesthesia, episiotomy, and other
interventions |
|
|
Lessens fatigue during
labour, leaving the mother fresh, awake, and
energised as she brings her baby into the world. |
|
|
Shortens the thinning and
opening phase. |
|
|
The birthing companion is an
integral part of birthing, not an onlooker. |
|
|
Almost entirely eliminates
postnatal discomfort and “baby blues”. |
|
|
Babies are better adjusted
and happier, resulting in better eating and
sleeping routines. |
|
|
Mothers don’t run the risk
of hyperventilating from shallow breathing.
|
|
|
Birthing is returned to the
safe, beautiful, peaceful experience that Nature
intended. |
