BIRTH
HYPNOSIS

Picture
Birth hypnosis... what is it really? You know when you are falling asleep and you are not quite asleep, but you are not fully awake either? Did you know that that is actually a hypnotic state of consciousness? You know when you are day dreaming with your eyes open and life is happening all around you? You are experiencing hypnosis. 

Is it possible to experience this in birth AND have it be extremely helpful? YES!
Birth hypnosis is simply using practiced hypnosis during childbirth. What you will learn in the 5 session course:
Class 1: Discovering Self-Hypnosis
Learn how to enter a state of deep relaxation that offers no resistance to labor, and how to re-activate it with a simple word prompt. Experience the power of visualization.

Class 2: Practical Skills for Mom and Partner
Mom benefits from the support of her partner and her chosen birth team. Partners become hypnosis coaches and learn about what REALLY helps mom. Practice staying in hypnosis while walking and opening your eyes. Learn about birth anatomy, terminology and phases of labor.

Class 3: Birth Without Fear
Fear is a message from the deeper mind. Learn to identify the fears that could derail an otherwise smooth birth, and transform them into calm and confidence.

Class 4: Tame Labor Pain with your Brain
Unlock the part of your mind that has allowed other people for thousands of years to reduce sensations in their bodies and suffering in their minds. Practice different ways to control sensations in hypnosis.

Class 5: Putting it all Together
Put together all the skills and information from the first four classes so you’ll feel confident and excited about your birth. Discover more about birth preferences, labor positions and the pushing phase. Partners practice their ‘duties’ and special hypnosis techniques. Look beyond birth to your plans for the baby. Learn how to use hypnosis to speed healing, jumpstart breastfeeding and get by on less sleep. In hypnosis, create the blueprint for the labor and birth you desire.
After the course, you'll have a deeper understanding about yourself and your mind, and have those tools for the rest of your life! The tools you learn will help you handle the postpartum period better and you may notice other areas of your life improve as well. 

Knowledge is CONFIDENCE. When you have a new awareness about self and a new mindset,
your confidence level is boosted!
Parenthood is so much better​with MORE confidence!

There are many myths about birth hypnosis. Naomi works with families to dispel these myths.
​
​Birth hypnosis is NOT:
-A form of mind control.
-A method to put you in a deep sleep.
-A method to remove someone’s free will.
-A way to remove your ability to be aware of what’s going on around you.

Here are some of the benefits of hypnobirth:
-It’s a natural form of pain management.
-It can provide relaxation, comfort, and relief during labor.
-It can reduce stress and fear during childbirth.
-It allows mom to be alert and awake, and allow for a better postpartum experience.
Birth hypnosis can truly be one of the amazing tools at your disposal when you work with a birth doula.
​We will serve as your guide in finding your role in the birthing process and pave the way for finding your own personal affirmations.
