My 1:1 hypnobirthing course is bespoke and completely tailored to you. It can take place in your own home, or mine (if you would prefer, I am based in Thorpe Bay, Southend). Many clients choose a 1:1 course if they are unable to make a group course or if they would like a more personal experience. 1:1 courses take place over 2x 5 hour days. The course covers the following:
- Introduction to hypnotherapy and hypnobirthing, addressing and overcoming fear and anxiety around childbirth
- How the mind works and how this can affect your experience of labour and birth
- How other mammals give birth and why this is important for us
- How the muscles of the uterus work and how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems affect this
- Breathing and visualisation techniques for all stages of labour
- How the birthing environment can affect birth and how to create a positive birthing environment
- Your birth choices – interventions that may be offered to you and how to make informed decisions about these
- Practical comfort measures for labour and birth
- The important role of the birth partner and how they can maintain your positive birthing environment
