Course Overview
The truth is a women’s body is designed to work in perfect harmony with the process of birth. Hypnosis for Childbirth is designed to help students integrate hypnotherapy techniques with childbirth preparation theory. This will involve learning how to teach women and their partners to enter deep relaxation during childbirth.
Hypnosis for Childbirth in essence provides a means for women/couples to bond with their babies in utero. This supports the additional overall goal of preparing a woman to work with her body and her baby to create an easier and more comfortable pregnancy, labour and birth experience.
The hypnotherapy in preparation for childbirth is at first informational and educational. Students will be instructed in methods for teaching pregnant mothers/ couples how women in other cultures give birth with more ease and comfort. In fact part of the barrier to a comfortable birth is the prior ‘programming’ women (and men) accumulate about the birthing process. Countless tales within the family and within culture ‘implant’ the idea that the birth process will be harrowing and dangerous to both mother and child. Part of what students of this course will learn involves educating soon to be parents about how fear and tension adversely affects their labour experience. The first responsibility of the hypnotherapist is to help mothers and couples release their built up anxiety about birth in order to re-establish the women’s connection to her inner confidence and trust in her body.
In this course students will be taught to offer parents therapeutic and educational benefits. After addressing negative programming students will be guided in techniques and information for teaching women to enter the trance or ‘comfort state’ with the goal of transforming anxiety and fear into confidence and well-being. Part of this involves helping parents bond with the baby during all three prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal phases. This includes instruction on teaching parents to harness the power of imagery and visualization throughout the term of the pregnancy and during the birth.
This course also provides training in specific rapid trance techniques. Another element of this course is aimed at learning relaxation techniques and hypnotic pain management tools like hypno-anesthesia specifically for pregnancy, labour, and birth. You’ll acquire the skills needed to teach the birth companion hypnotic support techniques.
These skills and techniques are organized to help women learn to trust the inherent wisdom of their bodies to easily and naturally give birth. Because the mind has such a profound influence on childbirth using hypnosis with expectant women can positively influence the course of labor. This provides women the opportunity to give birth safely and naturally. Labor truly does work best when mind, body, and baby cooperate.

One Client Says...
"After working with Wendy, I was able to think of my upcoming labor and birth as an exciting experience instead of being anxious and scared. My labor was better and easier than I thought possible. Using the relaxation techniques Wendy had taught me and my labor coaches, I was able to enjoy the experience and at no time felt I was not able to handle the pain (I barely felt any...). My experience was so relaxed that I didn't believe I was in active labor till I felt the urge to push, my daughter was born 14 minutes later! From now on I will definitely urge my pregnant friends to see Wendy for hypnosis birthing sessions. Thank you Wendy for sharing your knowledge during our hypnosis birthing sessions."
