Hypnosis is a natural yet altered state of mind in which the subconscious mind is highly relaxed and open to positive suggestion. It is the safe, 100% natural way to enjoy a relaxed and calm birth.
We have been subconsciously programmed to believe that birth is a painful and difficult emergency. THE REALITY? Birth is a natural process that can be easier and more comfortable than most mothers ever imagine. Childbirth is directed by the subconscious mind through a combination of programming and instincts. Hypnosis allows us to eliminate any negative beliefs and expectations so that we can confidently experience giving birth.
For every challenge childbirth presents, hypnosis has an answer. Self-hypnosis gives women a safe and natural way to:
* Control Sensations * Shorten labor
* Release Fears * Deepen the bond with your baby
* Increase Confidence * Relax deeply
* Speed healing * Recalibrate expectations
Karla teaches a highly effective way to use self-hypnosis to stay calm, release fear, control sensations and create a satisfying birthing experience. Each two-hour class features activities, hypnosis, discussion, special training for birth partners, a practice CD and a manual. Each class builds on the last.
