During childbirth using hypnotherapy has been proven to:
*reduce fear and tension
*reduce pain
*shorten the first stage of labour
*reduce the need for pharmacological methods of pain relief
*enables women to feel more in control
*enables a quicker recovery following birth
*reduces emotional and physical tiredness
*reduces the risk of postnatal depression
There are 4 sessions, each lasting between one and two hours.
Session 1
This session is undertaken as early as possible in your pregnancy. This allows us to work through any fears and anxieties you may have regarding your pregnancy and birth and also allows more time to practice and become familiar with the self hypnosis techniques.
Sessions 2 & 3
These sessions are undertaken at around 32 weeks. I will teach you specialised techniques to help induce a state of relaxation quickly and techniques to reduce pain.
Session 4
This is a postnatal session to aid a speedier recovery following your birth – both emotionally and physically. To promote bonding and reduce the risk of postnatal depression.
All sessions come with CD’s to enable you to continue with self hypnosis at home on a regular basis.
These techniques can also be used throughout your life and have long term benefits for your emotional and physical health.
4 Sessions cost £200, including CDs. I work within a 40 mile radius of my home so additional mileage will incur travel expenses. Please contact me for further information. |
