This is exactly what I mean when I say that HypnoBirthing is a lifetime skill! 😍 It’s not just about your birth experience 👉🏻 it’s about tools, knowledge, and confidence that stay with you forever 💗 ready to support you through each pregnancy, each birth, welcoming your baby in a peaceful way, helping with better adjustment during the postpartum stage, and even beyond.

That’s why I truly believe it’s worth investing your time, energy, and resources in preparing for birth in the right way. Because it’s not just about the day your baby arrives 👣 it’s about creating a memory that stays forever in the hearts and minds of mom, dad, and baby 💛 shaping family dynamics, supporting a smoother postpartum adjustment, and, as this mama beautifully shared, even benefiting the birth of future children 💫

I’m so incredibly grateful to Marilyn for her beautiful words and for taking a moment to share her experience 💛 Even online, as she lives in Auckland, it’s been such a joy to connect and support her and her husband, helping them feel confident, empowered, and united during their birth journey.
Thank you so much for letting me be part of this special chapter 🙏🏻
If you haven’t shared your review yet, I’d love to hear from you! Your words help me reach more families and guide them to prepare for a calm and empowered birth.

🌝👇🏻

And honestly, it’s as innocent as wondering what your very first time will be like… Just as no one can predict sεx for a virgin, no one can tell a first-time mom exactly how her birth will feel 😌

And for second, third (or more) time mothers, the truth remains: every birth is unique 💗 Just like every intimate encounter, it can feel completely different depending on your preparation, your partner’s support, and the space you’re in.

And yes 🌚 birth can also be an or****ic experience. Your body is wired for pleasure, safety, and love when the right conditions are in place.

What makes all the difference are the conditions✨ including the shared preparation of both mother and birth companion, so your preferences and wishes for the birth are understood, supported, and honored.

✨ Soft lights
🎶 Gentle music
🏡 Privacy + safety
💞 Loving vibes
🍲 Nourishment
🤝 A confident, well-prepared birth team
🌚 No pressure, no bright lights

Whether intimacy or birth, when the environment (and the people around you) support you, your body knows exactly what to do 🌸

In my HypnoBirthing courses, we explore exactly how to create these conditions and so much more, while preparing mentally, emotionally, and physically, so both you and your birth companion feel confident and empowered for the journey ahead 💫

Even if you don’t like dates, you’ll devour these little balls! 🟤
🤎
Dates in the Third Trimester:
Your Natural Labour Ally!

Did you know that eating just 6 dates a day in your third trimester can have amazing benefits for labour?

Research shows that date eaters:

✨ Entered the birthing unit 74% more dilated than non-date eaters.
✨ Were 38% more likely to have intact membranes
✨ Were 21% more likely to go into labour spontaneously
✨ Were 28% less likely to need induction
✨ Had a 77% shorter first stage of labour

Plus, dates are high in fiber, provide natural energy, and are packed with vitamins and minerals like potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6 to support your body during the final weeks of pregnancy.

🤎 Tip: Try them as a snack, in smoothies, or stuffed with nut butter for an extra energy boost!

🎞️ Coming soon: I’ll share a step-by-step video recipe for the delicious date balls we always make for my Hypnobirthing classes. They’re so good that even people who usually say they don’t like dates end up devouring them 🤤 they’re truly addictive!

With love,
Ethel

The power of preparation and trust in birth ✨

Marilyn and Simon welcomed their beautiful baby Amelie at Auckland Hospital 💕

Their birth plan took an unexpected turn, yet they embraced each moment with calm, courage, and all the tools they had prepared. From relaxation techniques to the wooden acupressure set (which Marilyn included in this photo, saying she thought of me when she took it 🤩) every detail supported them in creating their own natural birth journey.

With teamwork, strength, and determination, Marilyn birthed her baby girl beautifully and powerfully 😍

Thank you for this beautiful photo taken during your labour and for so generously sharing your experience. Your story is truly inspiring and will surely support other families on their journey 💕

Receiving messages like this reminds me, time and again, of the immense value of preparing for birth 🙏🏻✨💗✨👇🏻

When families commit to the process, inform themselves and trust, birth can be experienced with calm, confidence and love 💛 just like Amelia’s, dreamed of and beautifully lived in the water 😍

Investing in preparation is never an expense, but a gift for life 🤎

A positive birth doesn’t only mark the arrival of a baby; it shapes the way a family remembers and feels their very beginning together 💫

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to this wonderful family for the beautiful message and for allowing me to share their amazing birth experience 🤩 🙏🏻💛

Much love,
Ethel

✨“Our baby boy Navi was born Friday night 9:15pm weighing 3.26. I was lucky enough to get a room with a bath and was so thankful to have all of the HypnoBirthing techniques to get me through the birth and could have him naturally, just how we had planned. Thank you for everything 🙏 (ps. I held those little balls in my hands through the entire labour – the best thing!)”

Ya disponible en Spotify! ▶️ 🎧 Continuamos nuestra entrevista con Pauli Rojas, Kinesióloga Pelviperineal y en esta segunda parte conversamos sobre el cuidado del piso pélvico después de un nacimiento y en general, durante la adultez.

En lo que refiere a la etapa del posparto:
• Cuándo retomar la actividad física
• Claves para cuidar cuerpo, mente y Alma y cómo esto también impacta en nuestros hijos.

En cualquier etapa de la adultez:
• Ejercicios recomendados y la importancia de consultar con un/a especialista.

Derribamos mitos como:
❌ “Si tuve un parto por cesárea, no necesito cuidar mi piso pélvico”
❌ “Solo las mujeres mayores tienen problemas”

Hablamos también del impacto real de los problemas de piso pélvico, una epidemia silente que merece más atención y cuidado.

📲 Puedes conocer más sobre Pauli y la valiosa información que comparte en su Instagram: .rojas
