What is Enhanced Hypnobirthing?

I hear you asking ‘What is Hypnobirthing classes and does it really work’! Well, imagine this –  your playing a game of women’s football with zero preparation and no plan!  Well,  you would have no idea what to expect, what obstacles would be at any given time and no mental image of a successful outcome.   Think about how much fear that would create?

 

Now apply this analogy to your impending  birth.  On top of that, add well-meaning fear based comments from people in your life who unconsciously project their birthing fears onto you. Our busy minds become one of our biggest obstacles in pregnancy and birth. We listen to others, watch television, hear caesarean rates and overuse Google. We lose our ability to do the task for which our bodies were supernaturally designed.

 

At Enhanced Hypnobirthing and Hypnobirthing Australia™ I will show you a different way of having your baby that will prepare your mind and body for a confident, comfortable, joyful and even painless birth. The Hypnosis part of Enhanced Hypnobirthing is similar to meditation. I work closely with your unconscious mind which is very much like a computer.  It holds good programs and un-resourceful ones. Using Hypnosis is like running a virus protector on your computer – it discovers corrupt programs that need to be wiped, such as the belief that birth will be painful.  At Enhanced Hypnobirthing, I include teaching you how to achieve a state of deep concentration and relaxation. More importantly, releasing all your fears through visualization, deep breathing, reframing, and affirmations from the Hypnobirthing Australia™ Program

 

Like that game of women’s football, I train your mind, so your body will instinctively know what to do. At Enhanced Hypnobirthing, I am very aware of my gentle language. If your unconscious mind hears negative words, it immediately translates that to fear. This creates a fight-or-flight response which then tenses up your muscles, so they won’t be as efficient to relax your uterus.  It truly is – mind over matter.

How Does Enhanced Hypnobirthing Work?

Would you like to know how the Hypnobirthing  techniques work?

The unconscious mind is responsible for nearly all of our bodily functions, which includes your belief system.  In a state of deep relaxation during hypnosis, at Enhanced Hypnobirthing Adelaide and Hypnobirthing Australia™ I will fill your mind with positive images, language, and associations of birth.  As a  mum to be, you will be able to call on these tools at the right time.

 

Let me go over the definition of Hypnobirthing; relaxation which includes hypnosis, can lower maternal levels of circulating catecholamines (a stress hormone).   Lower levels of these hormones can facilitate uterine contractions.  The opposite to this is also true; heightened stress and fear can elevate catecholamines, which can make labour harder and longer.

 

As a result of this, the muscles of your womb will work less efficiently because they are deprived of blood and oxygen.   Your baby may be getting less oxygen too!

 

At Enhanced Hypnobirthing Adelaide , I teach you to trust in your body’s natural ability to birth gently and quickly.

Enhanced Hypnobirthing – Postpartum

May I share with you some Hypnobirthing Information after the baby is born?

If a new mum feels in her heart that she made her own best choices for her new family, no matter how the birth played out, she seems to have a better postpartum period.

 

When mum is relaxed, she projects that onto her baby which now successfully feeds and settles. When a mum/baby are immersed in all those positive birthing hormones that nature provided, it makes it so much easier for mum and dad!

 

In fact, many parents feel that Hypnobirthing has influenced their child’s temperament and contentment even past toddler age and onwards.
