A complete childbirth program, for an empowered birth experience.
Hypnosis for birth PLUS
Why the PLUS? Because it includes Eight 2 to 3 h sessions that go above and beyond the hypnosis, including:
1. Hypnosis for birth, using Blissborn tools
2. Intervention intelligence; how to navigate the system and understand the birth that you want and how to get it
3. The importance of the father (or other support person) and his experience and keys to be a supportive presence
4. Comfort measures for pregnancy and birth
5. Letting go of fear and welcoming confidence
6. Understanding and transforming labor sensations from pain to power
7. Understanding postpartum needs
8. Birth day, creating your empowered birth.
In the Intervention Intelligence class we will discuss common medical interventions in pregnancy and labor, as well as newborn procedures. If you plan to give birth in the hospital you need to know: what interventions are done and what procedures are followed, why they are done, what the benefits and risks are, which ones are optional, and how to go about making the best decision for yourself and your baby. Recognize that you have choices, discover what a respectful birth is for you, and learn about different philosophies and techniques for comfortable childbirth. This way you can make informed decisions and play an active role in your birth experience.
In the Labor Comfort Techniques class you will learn the tools you can use to help make your birth experience a more comfortable one. The techniques covered include: positions, relaxation, breathing, visualization, massage, natural remedies, aromas, lighting, atmosphere, and more.
The hypnosis for birth portion of the Empowered Birth classes include, but is not limited to, the tools taught in Blissborn.
The Empower Birth, Hypnosis for Birth PLUS classes with Blissborn are the most comprehensive classes available.
Through various tools and techniques, including a safe and gentle way to overcome fears and how to transform pain, you learn to deeply relax your body and mind in labor, so that labor will flow with more ease and comfort.
You will learn about the different stages of labor and what to expect, and you will receive a wide range of information on the most common interventions used in labor and birth so that you can make truly informed decisions.
Your partner or support person (if applicable) will learn tools and techniques so that they will feel prepared, enjoy the process, and provide the best support.
All this will help you have your best birth possible.
The ideal time to take the classes is between 25 and 32 weeks, but you can take them as late or as early as you'd like.
