Mindful Hypnobirthing Barrow upon Soar

You decide what positive birth means to you.

If you say your birth was positive, it was.

For most women, that positive feeling usually comes from feeling they were at the centre of the decision making, or that, if another person took the reins, they handed over their power willingly.

Learn how to change your mindset and take charge of your choices as you approach birth, with the bestselling Positive Birth Book. Available from Amazon and all good book sellers. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Positive-Birth-Book-Bestselling-Pregnancy/dp/1780667655/

Last week I spent a lovely few days in the Lake District swimming and walking.
This was my time to step off the wheel of the day to day busyness of life, my time to decompress.

We all need time to recharge, reset and recalibrate and that can mean different things to different people.

Spending time in nature
A pj day
Exercise
Time with family
Meditation
Getting lost in a good book
Taking a long bath
Enjoying a cup of coffee on your own
Doing a simple breathing exercise
…

See if you can take a few minutes today just for you

Press pause

I absolutely LOVE this quote by Professor Roberto Caldeyro Barcia, past president of the international federation of obstetricians and gynaecologists.

Research has shown that a woman has an easier labour, fewer epidurals and less risk of having a caesarean section if she is able to move around and adopt positions in which she feels comfortable (Lawrence A et Al., 2013)

You won’t know until you’re experiencing labour what position will feel right for you.

One thing you should know is that it is your choice.

Check out this lovely downloadable poster of positions from the RCM.
Give it a go, it’ll be worth it.

During a hypnobirthing workshop we discuss some of the things that you might come up against during your labour and give you and your birth partner the confidence to be able to assert what your preferences are.

I always recommend this book by .hill to my hypnobirthing clients. I say read it, get angry and then decide how you’d like to experience birth. A great read for birth partners and also for those who are not expecting. It really does create a shift in how we think about birth

Wow! Just been told that this is on promo for 99p on Amazon Kindle. Seriously! This includes accompanying MP3 downloads ( link in bio) This is such a bargain. Read this in the last few weeks of pregnancy so that you are prepared for the thoughts and feelings aspect of becoming a new parent rather than it taking you by surprise. Learn practical tools while you can so you can draw on the quickly when you need them most. ❤️"This is a must for pregnant couples to read in preparation for parenthood. It’s a comforting and calming book that supports parents in their journey for the first year. Loved reading it!" "

❤️"Fantastic! If you are expecting a baby or are a new mum, be it your 1st, 2nd, 5th baby this book is for you. You don't have to have subscribed to hypnobirthing or mindfulness to benefit from the gentle guidance as you navigate your first days, weeks and months as a new mum. I love the stories from other mums, their honest experiences are real and comforting. I wondered if it was going to be a parenting manual - nah, its for mums, about motherhood. It has loads of easy excercises to support your up and down days. Parenting is hard and wonderful. This book steadies you as you step through it all with amazing empathy. It's not a manual or a guide, its a companion. I even get to listen to the author Sophie guide me with audios which you can download."

During this uncertain time many of us are experiencing a range of feelings such as stress, anxiety, fear, loss of control, anger and frustration. Hypnotherapy and having someone listen in a non judgemental way about your experiences can be truly beneficial in restoring a sense of wellbeing.

Why not join me for a virtual cuppa…

I am offering a FREE 30 minute introductory online session. You can use this time solely to chat about how you’re feeling, find out if hypnotherapy could help you with something in particular or you can use the time to have a short calming hypnosis session. The choice is yours.
