Giving birth can be the most pleasuarable experience of your life - if you'll let it! Hypno-birthing is based on the belief that birth is natural, normal and healthy - not a medical incident. You will be taught how to put yourself into a light trance state and use deep breathing methods to coincide with the body’s natural ‘surges’, otherwise known as contractions, so there will be no need for ‘huffing and puffing’.

A key element of Hypno-Birthing is teaching pregnant mothers a whole new childbirth vocabulary:

• Babies are not 'delivered', they are 'birthed' through the 'birthing process', not 'labour'
• Mums do not 'push' their babies out. Rather they 'breathe down' their babies

One of the main reasons for preparing thoroughly for birth is to enjoy the experience instead of fearing it. In effect, it is all about letting nature do the work for you so that you can utilise the body's full potential instead of numbing it with drugs. Therefore, at stow-hypno we teach expectant mothers how not to intellectualize the birth process or try to make themselves 'stay in control'. The key to pain-free childbirth is to abandon your conscious thought processes as labour progresses and allow yourself to flow with the experience, giving control to your powerful unconscious mind to do the work for you.

Consider that humans have been giving birth to babies for thousands of years and that the birthing process itself has been perfected over that time. If you trust your body's wisdom you can permit the contractions themselves to be your guide and let the breathing patterns that you will learn in your hypnosis sessions to make your birthing experience natural and even enjoyable.
