Gentle Induction Workshop -

The Mindful Hypnobirthing Approach when your ‘ baby is overdue’

Trust your body, if there is no medical indication for induction really weigh up the risks and benefits.
Do your research, check out the resources below both anecdotal and research based.
If you have a to do list. Finish it!
Take time to listen to your hypnobirthing mp3s every day.
Take a day trip with your partner or family, somewhere in nature, or somewhere you feel connected and happy. Get away from it all for 12 hours.
Explore reflexology, acupuncture or other complementary approaches, or even book yourself into a spa for the day. But importantly just relax and let go, baby will arrive when they are ready.
Remember you have choice.

private workshops

It may be more appropriate for you to do a private course with a practitioner who is trained to prepare you in this way. We have a well-researched framework that integrates, hypnosis, mindfulness and birth planning. Your practitioner will be trained to work within this framework, to create a tailor-made approach for you. This is a reflective approach so your practitioner will also explore your feelings around the birth and work with any fear, concerns or unresolved feelings either you or your partner may have.

Mindful Hypnobirthing Affirmations

You can say these affirmations everyday to build your trust in your body and to prepare your unconscious for birth

I trust my baby will come when he/she/they are ready
I relax and enjoys the last few hours and days of pregnancy
As I relax my body softens preparing me for labour
As my body softens my cervix begins to thin and dilate comfortably
I relax my jaw and hands, my pelvis relaxes, I sink into my body
I confidently trust my body and my baby, they know what to do
I let go of my anxiety as I turn my mind happily to the birth
As I left go my body softens more, I release oxytocin
As oxytocin rises my contractions begin gently, softening and dilating my cervix
I am ready to meet my baby

“I came in with a very sceptical husband who was telling his mates on Saturday night how fantastic the course was and giving tips to those who are going to be Dads later in the year.
We also learned so many simple things that we wouldn’t have even thought about before like the fact that I find it so much easier to relax when Mike is touching me.”

“I would just like to commend you on designing and running such a really fantastic course! It really has empowered both of us,to the point where most of our fears about birth have disappeared already. We have always wanted to go down the natural birth route, but felt that there was not enough support & advice out there about how to do it drug and pain free. Your course, although short, covered pretty much all aspects that I felt were missing from our antenatal classes & many more. Vic now feels a lot more confidant, and I actually feel like I have a proper role in the whole event, other that driving her to the hospital & sitting on the rocking chair! “

“I did really enjoy the course yesterday and I am definitely feeling much more positive, I was surprised actually by how much Luke and I talked about the course immediately after and the impact it has had on Luke, We both feel like he is more involved now and that he has got an invaluable role to play!”

“I’m looking forward to my birth experience and left the venue with a smile on my face and a bounce in my stride. This Course should be standard for every pregnant mother and her birth partner.”

“Thanks for a brilliant class. I feel so much more relaxed about the whole thing and as a lovely bonus am now sleeping at night (after practising with the CD). Feel like a different person.”
