Birth Hypnotherapy
Would it surprise you to know that birth doesn't have to be a long, arduous and agonizing experience? Women in many countries around the world give birth without the drama and screaming that we in the West associate with childbirth. When you use visualization and hypnosis in the process of birthing you stand to gain so much.

Many people hear the word "hypnosis" and think of people acting foolish on stage or on television shows. Hypnosis for childbirth is not like this at all; it is more like a type of meditation. It puts the woman in a very relaxed state, but she is still herself and still very aware of everything that is happening around her and within her body. She is able to take herself out of the relaxed state, or out of hypnosis, any time she wishes, and will never do anything that she doesn't want to do while in a state of hypnosis.

Research has shown that birthing with hypnosis can help to achieve the following:
• Faster labor
• Efficient labor
• Less pain relief
• Less interventions
• A relaxed and healthy baby/less chance of distress
• Faster recovery
• Reduced incidence of post-natal depression
• Breast-feeding success
