The philosophy of the class is based on the belief that birth is a normal and natural function of the human body. Expectant women/couples need to understand the process that lies ahead but also and more importantly, to prepare for this journey physically, mentally and emotionally. With the knowledge gained from the classes, many fears regarding birth and parenting are diminished and or relieved allowing an expectant mother to understand and trust the physical sensations she experiences. The coach or birth partner is taught how to physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually support her throughout this wondrous journey. www.BirthingWisdom.com
HypnoBirthing Classes This is a comprehensive 5 week series of childbirth,
parenting and self hypnosis education classes. Hypnobirthing®
is as much as philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing,
stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that when a mother
is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally, and spiritually, she
can experience the joy of birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable
manner.
The
method is based on the belief that severe discomfort does not need to be a
natural accompaniment of labor. The
aim of the program is to build confidence in the mother and for her to have
confidence in her own ability to birth her baby. The philosophy of the
Hypnobirthing® program is to educate the mother about the wonders of her body,
to eliminate fear, as well as teach her the skills to work with the birthing
process rather than fight against it. In many cases it is fear that undermines
the mothers confidence in herself. The mother is introduced to
techniques of self hypnosis utilizing controlled breathing, visualization and
imagery to produce deep relaxation. The coach and birth partner is taught how to physically,
mentally, emotionally and spiritually support her throughout this wondrous
journey. Extensive lectures in the birth process, birthing options and numerous
self- hypnotic & relaxation techniques are taught. Other topics include:
exercise, nutrition, anatomy, birth preferences, cesarean section prevention,
breastfeeding and baby care. For more info regarding HypnoBirthing go to www.BirthingWisdom.com or the national website at: www.HypnoBirthing.com
