Pregnant and feeling all the feels about giving birth? Heard about Hypnobirthing in the media and thought "Hypno...WHAT?!" How does that work? Am I the "right type" of person...?
Let's see if I can help, after all, us mamas are all in this together.
Hi, I'm Amy, founder of Empowered Mama Hypnobirthing. My mission is to provide birth preparation classes suitable for ALL WOMEN so that however they give birth they do so feeling empowered and positive.
I am not trying to promise a pain free birth. Nor am I "anti-pain relief". But by doing the course you may feel like you don't need them. Lots of Hypnobirthing mums don't. But the decision is entirely up to you, after all it's YOUR BIRTH.
About me.
I'm a mummy to two hypnobirth babies - a crazy flame haired toddler and a very chilled baby. I first came across hypnobirthing whilst pregnant with my eldest. My first reaction was that I wasn't the right type of person for hypnobirthing... I was a fast paced corporate lawyer with to do lists coming out of my ears, surely I'd need to be more hippy and chilled to hypnobirth successfully?
WRONG!
Despite my initial naivety (and stereotyping!) I quickly learnt that hypnobirthing was so much more than relaxation techniques and that it was applicable to everyone and so beneficial. I went on to have two amazing (but very different) hypnobirth experiences. My eldest was a waterbirth in a midwife led unit and my second was a speedy homebirth. After both births I felt like an empowered warrior and I wanted to shout it from the rooftops. My passion for all things hypnobirthing was ignited and I haven't looked back.
So what does an Empowered Mama Hypnobirthing course involve?
I run private classes from the comfort of your own home and group classes in Cheshire and the surrounding areas.
The birth preparation course follows the KG hypnobirthing method created by Katherine Graves, a world leader in hypnobirthing. The teacher's course I qualified with is accredited by The Royal College of Midwives and is the training choice for midwives.
On the course, I will provide a full birth preparation programme with tools and support to help you make empowered choices about YOUR BIRTH.
Understand how your body works (heads up... our bodies are amazing ladies!), how influential your mind is and how modern society has shaped how we give birth. Appreciate how hypnobirthing is the sports psychology of the birthing world.
Birth partners are very important to us too. They can sometimes feel unsure and nervous as to what is expected from them. Not with hypnobirthing. Teamwork is massively encouraged and partners will learn lots of ways to help be the support a birthing mama needs.
I will teach you how you can stack the odds in your favour to create the optimal birthing environment (both physically and mentally). Add a sprinkle of good luck (as even in the best environments birth may need some help) and you may just end up feeling like a birthing goddess.
I would love for you to get in touch and I will try to help in anyway I can!
Thanks
