Hypnosis for a relaxing childbirth

Hypnotherapy for Easy Child Birth and Labour - Gloucestershire Hypnotherapist Melanie Lewis

Having a baby is one of the most poignant and memorable moments in a person’s life. The experience of pregnancy and childbirth should be an enjoyable, beautiful event that leaves both parents feeling exhilarated. All too often though, that enjoyable event is taken over by anxiety, fear and above all PAin!

Specialist hypnosis for birth in Cheltenham

Melanie is one of only a few hypnotherapists in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire who specialise in using hypnosis and hypnotherapy for birth, labour and pain management. Hypnosis for birthing has become an increasingly popular way to help all parties relax before, during and after labour.

A happy relaxed mum makes for a happy relaxed baby!

TV programmes, magazines, family and friends and even medical professionals are always telling us about how much pain we are likely to have, what the pain will be like, and what to do about it when the pain actually comes. Added to that, we undoubtedly hear stories about long labours and complications.

The truth is, labour and childbirth can be a relaxed, calm, enjoyable experience for everyone involved. You can have a virtually pain free labour, there is no need for any anxiety or fear and you can be perfectly in control at all times and even be prepared for the unexpected, using the power of hypnosis.

Obviously, I am not saying that utilising hypnosis during childbirth will eliminate a long labour or complications, but what it will do is enable you to cope much better with whatever happens during your labour, so that you feel more in control and less stressed, which inevitably makes the whole experience easier for you, your partner and your new baby.

Relaxed childbirth therapy is a 4-5 session programme for both mum and dad (or mum and birthing partner) which includes 4 CD’s for use at home in order to practice the various techniques that you will be taught during each session and also to use during the birth itself.

So if you are going to be having your baby in Cheltenham or Gloucester maternity wards, and you would like to prepare thoroughly both mentally and physically, then contact Melanie to give you the helping hand to approach the birth with confidence.
