Whatever kind of birth you are planning, award winning Natal Hypnotherapy^TM can help you.

With Natal Hypnotherapy^TM you learn:

• Breathing and relaxation
• Effective pain management techniques
• How to stay positive, confident and relaxed
• To overcome any fears concerning labour and birth
• To develop belief in your body's own natural ability to give birth
• To emotionally and physically prepare yourself for birth and beyond

As any midwife will tell you, the most important way to help yourself during birth is through relaxation and breathing.  Natal Hypnotherapy^TM offers two Antenatal workshops to help you do just this.

Workshop 1 - Natural pain management for birth                                
Attend this one day workshop and learn:

• Natural ways to manage pain in child birth
• Self-hypnosis skills to overcome fear and increase your confidence and trust in your ability to give birth
• Effective breathing and deep relaxation techniques
• How fear or anxiety have a negative impact on your body during birth and how to reduce them
• Ways in which your birth partner can help you achieve a deeply relaxed state

Workshop 2 - Practical birth preparation
Attend this one-day workshop and learn:

• Practical techniques to help you stay calm and relaxed during birth, including massage, use of a birth ball and different birth positions
• How your body works  during labour and what you can do to help it
• Practical tools and techniques for your partner to keep you calm, relaxed and ease discomfort during birth
• How your emotions change during labour and the signs to look for
• Effective ways to work with the medical team supporting you

Workshops can be booked separately or together.  However, to have the best birth experience, we recommend you attend both during your pregnancy. Each workshop costs £95 per couple and runs from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm.  theholisticparent runs monthly courses in Bushey, Hertfordshire (just off junction 5 of the M1) - see below for dates, and all courses include a free copy of 'Effective Birth Preparation' by Maggie Howell.  When you book both days you get a free CD of your choice from the extensive Natal Hypnotherapy^TM range.
