ONE IN FIVE PEOPLE SUFFER STRESS.

ARE YOU?

However hard we try to go beyond a stress situation, life seems to find new ways of stressing us out and plaguing us with anxiety. Moreover, be it our anxiety, mind-body exhaustion or our erring attitudes, we tend to overlook causes of stress and the conditions triggered by those.

Unfortunately, today, we don’t get relaxing and soothing situations without asking.
To become relaxed, confident and positive in all situations, you have to develop techniques and attitude.
Stress management is not something you do at weekends. It must be incorporated into your daily life.

We offer individual sessions and weekly two hour workshops.

THE ART OF A PEACEFUL BIRTH

There are babies whose parents choose to easily
and naturally prepare for childbirth using hypnosis
techniques to create an automatically peaceful relaxing
and more comfortable pregnancy.
WHY IS IT SO BENEFICIAL?
Hypnosis is a powerful no risk intervention for pain.
Women learn self-hypnosis and are able to be relaxed,
focused, alert and in control.
Women can tap into their own natural resources,
using the power of their mind to manage anxiety
and physical discomfort, creating their own
body's natural anaesthesia.
The Fear-Tension-pain syndrome is eliminated.
It reduces or eliminates the need for chemical painkillers.
It can shorten the first stage of labour by several hours.
Reduces fatigue during labour.
More rapid postnatal recovery.
Allows your baby to enter the world drug free in an
atmosphere of peace and calmness.
Hypnosis is safe, has no known side effects,
has positive physical and psychologial maternal outcomes,
and seems to produce calm, alert infants.
Schauble (1998) has suggested that women using hypnosis,
are alert, aware, confident and in control ,
during the birthing process, and therefore are more
active participants. This leads to client satisfaction
with their births, and their recovery is speedier.
In In todays maternity care climate of higher rates
of labour inductions, epidurals, and cesarean deliveries,
the inspiring stories of natural childbirth show that childbirth
can and should be safe, empowering and beautiful.
Mums who learn how to activate the calming side of their
nervous system have the best chance of a safer, more
enjoyable and painless experience.
Babies who experience this relaxation, have a wonderful birth,
free of trauma and pain. It has been proven that babies born
without discomfort or fear generally have more self worth
and less personal problems in life.
What a gift to give to your baby.
