Childbirth Preparation

The Childbirth Preparation Programme is usually a series of three sessions, though this can be adapted to fit your individual needs. Taking time, in advance, to prepare herself for the birth, the client can begin to get to know her baby and to build the bond between them, feeling calm, confident and really in tune with the process which is underway.

The learning of relaxation and visualisation is both interesting and enjoyable, contributing to physical health and an increased sense of well-being. Hypnotherapy enables the mother-to-be to explore and develop practical skills for pain reduction and management, which will assist her during labour. The need for pain relief medication and surgical and instrumental intervention can be reduced. Looking beyond the birth, the mother is well prepared to focus on healing quickly, establishing a routine with her baby and adapting to her new role.
