I absolutely loved my sessions with Claire and am so glad she was able to benefit from the Hypnobirthing techniques and the knowledge she gained around the birth process.

I am so incredibly grateful to Clare for these kind words and for allowing me to be part of her birth journey!

I was talking with my girls this morning about the programme 'The Demon Headmaster' that I used to watch when I was a kid (anyone remember that one...or am I just showing my age??!!)....anyway, that got us talking about Hypnosis and what it actually is...

My 8 year old daughter was explaining to her sister what hypnosis is and she said "it's like on cartoons when someone has spinny eyes"...

It's no wonder that Hypnobirthing is often misunderstood...the name is misleading and, lets be honest, can put people off!

But the truth is, Hypnobirthing is not like that at all...to start with Hypnobirthing is so much more than just the hypnosis part because it is actually a full birth preparation course and includes the birth process and what you might be able to expect, tools and techniques for pregnancy labour and beyond, information on birth choices and how to get the best out of our maternity system, advise for birth partners and so so much more!

But apart from that, the hypnosis part of hypnobirthing can bring up images of people being out of control, or controlled by someone else....people behaving in very odd ways or pretending to be a chicken!...none of which sound appealing, or helpful!

And, in actual fact, hypnosis is not about being out of control or under someone else's influence...it's not about being asleep....

It IS about being in a deeply relaxed state where our mind is open to positive suggestions...and in this way we can alter the way we feel about birth and labour...and instead of feeling anxious and nervous, wondering if we can even do it, we can teach ourselves to approach birth feeling calm, confident and capable, trusting in our own body to birth our baby.

If you are interested in learning more (no spinny eyes, I promise!) please do get in touch for a chat or check out my website for details ###

So this little lady turned 1 recently! Where has the time gone?!

I've used Hypnobirthing in all 3 of my pregnancies and labours...but in very different ways each time because each birth was so different and unique.

The tools and techniques you learn during a hypnobirthing course can be used in ALL BIRTHS, whether you are planning a home birth, water birth, hospital birth, caesarean birth...the list goes on...and you name it, hypnobirthing can help you to have the most positive birth experience for YOU, YOUR BABY AND YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION.

When my youngest was on her way, we were 12 days past our 'due date' and had, up until that point refused offers of induction but due to reduced movement we decided to make our way into hospital for some monitering...I have to say I was a little dissapointed as had been hoping for a home birth but we went in keeping our options open, knowing we were doing what felt right for us.
..and very soon we realised that she was in fact already on her way... and inspite of being in a hospital setting with the prospect of potentially having my waters broken for me (if we agreed to go ahead with that course of action) we created our own little birth nest, and I honestly felt so calm, peaceful and relaxed that I will always remember those last precious moments of being pregnant with her...i listened to my music, had cosy lighting and lots of other things around me to help me to boost my birth hormones and we had the most wonderful birth experience with no intervention.

If anyone has even the slightest thought about looking at Hypnobirthing to help you achieve the birth you want i urge you to follow up on it...i promise only good things will come of it!

A little belatedly but happy First birthday to my gorgeous baby girl. We love you so much ###
