Hypnosis and Mindfulness

UNderstanding the differences

One is directive (hypnosis) and one is not (mindfulness). Hypnosis is more about the preparation, shifting into a positive state of mind, processing worries and anxieties so that a woman can go into a natural state of mindfulness and presence during birth. Hypnosis should not be used as a crutch instead, it should be a way to illuminate her own inner strength and give space for it to blossom. Hypnosis is a great thing to have in place if she needs to get back into her zone, but it’s not a necessary part of the birth. It’s all in the preparation which is way on enriching the oxytocin in her internal and external environment.

Birth Shock – Mia Scotland

“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!”

“The course was brilliant, although we were somewhat sceptical beforehand it was great experience, and a super day to share together our expectations and needs.”

02

“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.”

03

“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.”
