The practice of hypnobirthing continues to find its footing in the world of pregnancy, birth and post birth with increased vigour and validation. Women who have engaged in hypnobirthing classes report having a very positive experience during pregnancy, the birth and at the post birth stage.
What Amanda’s classes do is create a therapeutic yet fun and relaxed place to learn and grow within the knowledge of hypnobirthing practices. After all, you are the expert of you and your baby, and when you combine this with the easibirthing hypnobirthing method, these two areas of expertise will help you feel reassured you are doing the best you can for yours and baby health.
The method of hypnobirthing has been in the western medical profession in the UK for over 80 years, and tribal people have been using similar practices within their cultures for centuries. The fundamentals of hypnobirthing are simplistic in theory and need practice in practicalities. The method of a relaxed state equalling less tension and therefore less resistance in the physical and physiological aspects of the birthing mother, are the key to success. Meaning, less time in labour, less risk of birth complications and a greatly improved bond with baby at post birth – so hypnobirthing really is a win win practice.
In Amanda’s hypnobirthing course over 4 weeks you will learn how to relax fully, connect with baby and your birth partner with you (if you choose), and become confident in your baby toolbox to know what you want and need and not be fearful of saying so to the professionals caring for you. This empowerment in itself builds confidence and with the knowledge you will have you will be able to speak up for yourself from a place of knowing and understanding. Hypnobirthing is knowledge alongside the care you receive from midwives and other professionals – the classes are designed to compliment your medical care.
Amanda’s course has been developed from her own experience as a mother, a therapist and a hypnobirthing practitioner. Amanda has listened to her clients and the feedback is clear: clients like to have smaller contact over a 4 week time frame so that practicing the method can take place at home between sessions and when coming back to the next session this reaffirms learning with additional learning to take away again. This is a tried and tested method that works and provides that positive and confident birth experience – Mother’s and Father’s/birth partners alike.
So, to look back on a birth experience with positivity may seem like an unusual prospect given that many people share often what are scary birth stories, but these are slowly becoming less and less with more and more mothers using hypnobirthing as a calm and natural way to approach birth. With less fear and more excitement this only make for a very exciting time in getting ready to meet your baby!
