October holds a special significance for me. Not only it marks the World Mental Health Day today. It also signifies the time I had a surprising experience that transformed my life.
Reflecting on my childbirth experience 14 years ago🤰, I am profoundly grateful for the privilege of knowing HypnoBirthing®.
What could have been a fearful and overwhelming journey transformed into a wonderfully calm and comfortable experience, thanks to HypnoBirthing®. My dear friend BeeTing introduced me to Hypnobirthing®, and her encouragement pivoted my preparation for birth ❤️.
Throughout the process, my partner 👫stood by me as a supportive partner, providing the comfort and reassurance. His presence made all the difference, creating a safe space where I could embrace the experience fully 👩❤️💋👨.
Dr. Benjamin, my gynaecologist, offered unwavering support, respecting my wishes ❤️ guiding me with expertise and compassion to allow me to experience the most wonderfully natural birth I could never imagine🤱.
Perhaps most profound was the reaction of Dr. Lee, my daughter’s paediatrician, who also witnessed my birth firsthand. My recent visit, she recounted our experiences with my little Mulan 🧝♀️ (as the nurse called her), leaving us with lasting memories of that special day 🥰. My birth was not only validating but also a testament to the power of HypnoBirthing®.
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to my daughter, who worked collaboratively with such determination to make our birth a wonderful experience. Happy Birthday, my sweetie pie! Woo Hoo! 🥳 You are 14!👭
I also want to pay tribute 🙏 to Marie Morgan, the founder of Hypnobirthing®. Her pioneering work has empowered countless families to approach childbirth with confidence and calm. As I embrace Marie’s mission to share this little "secret" to every woman I could reach, I am inspired to help them experience the transformative journey.
Lastly, I am deeply grateful to all my clients who allowed me to walk alongside them on their journeys 🥰 and experienced the beauty of HypnoBirthing®.
HypnoBirthing® has reshaped my perspective on childbirth, allowing me to embrace the experience with grace. It was a truly a beautiful beginning to my parenthood 👫 journey.
💡 Tips:
❤️ Prepare well for your birth
❤️ Stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to transformative experiences.
❤️Surrounding yourself with supportive people is essential for success.
Anxiety and fear during pregnancy and childbirth can impact your mental health, so it’s crucial to recognise these feelings and seek support.
You don’t have to navigate this journey alone; you have the power to create the experience you deserve. If you’re looking for guidance for a positive birth, I’m here to help, no matter where you are.
