Maybe you feel you could never give birth? Maybe a previous birth (your
own or someone else's) has left you feeling it's more than you could go through? You may or may not know what
is behind such thoughts and feelings.
Whether it's your first or a subsequent time, fear and anxiety can ruin the whole
experience of pregnancy and childbirth - it can also affect your hormone balance and your ability to conceive.
You might be surprised to learn that trauma after childbirth is believed to affect
around 10,000 women a year - often mis-diagnosed as Post Natal Depression and often not picked up at all.
Many women who suffered a traumatic birth will beat themselves up about their negative feelings - baffled as to why they feel
as they do, or they are told by well-meaning friends & family to "be grateful for a healthy baby" and "you'll get
over it in time"
Trained by Sheila Kitzinger in Birth Crisis - and familiar with post traumatic stress disorder
as part of my hypnotherapy services - I offer broad-based understanding and support to help you resolve any
issues you have about childbirth.
Call me for an informal chat, with no obligation, if you need to reach a better
place in yourself before you can contemplate a pregnancy - or if you are pregnant already and find yourself dreading the birth.
It is very likely that even during this conversation you will begin to feel more comfortable and hopeful.
Knowledge is always the first step to understanding and leads ultimately to resolution.
Unhappy with how you feel about childbirth? I can help!
Some mums only discover months after their babies are born - through mother & baby groups
or chatting to friends & family - just how many women are negatively affected by childbirth and this is often the
first time mums realise the're not alone in the way they feel.
I run workshops for small groups (2 or more) - my place or yours - and the knowledge you gain is
frequently all you need to move on.
For mums (and dads) with deeper, more personal issues, or for those who simply prefer to address
their problems more privately, I offer one-to-one sessions.
FEES:
- £15 per head for group workshops (2 or more)
- £25 for one-to-one information, relaxation & stress management
sessions
- £45 for personal therapy - which can be Hypnotherapy/NLP/Trauma Resolution/Life coaching or a combination of all of these
- £250 for HypnoBirthing - complete course - the most comprehensive education and preparation for childbirth
One-to-one sessions are one hour - workshops one to two hours.
