Gentlebirth workshop

1-DAY WORKSHOP BROKEN DOWN INTO 4 1:1 ZOOM SESSIONS OF 2 HOURS AT TIMES THAT SUIT YOU MIDWEEK

- OR -

  • 2 IN-PERSON SESSIONS OF 4 HOURS IN YOUR HOME (GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES PERMITTING)

  • LEARN FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME IN SESSIONS TAILORED SPECIFICALLY TO YOUR NEEDS

The GentleBirth programme combines

  • brain training for pregnancy, labour and birth

  • self-help in labour

  • negotiating your care in the maternity services.

The brain training part includes changing unconscious thought patterns using hypnosis and affirmations, changing conscious thought patterns using mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy and sports psychology. Mothers-to-be follow the programme using an amazing new app with lots of options to tailor it to their needs. The workshop is a great way to pull the whole programme together and is often most beneficial for partners to get them on board. Almost all mothers who use the app join the Facebook page 'GentleBirth - Official' where you get great support and hear really positive birth stories instead of the usual horror stories most people want to tell you. See www.gentlebirth.com for more info. Here's a short video that explains the science that the programme is based on:

GentleBirth has so much more to offer than other hypnobirthing programmes!

ABOUT ME

31.jpg

I discovered GB on my first pregnancy and gave me the extra calm and focus I needed for my perfect positive birth in the maternity.

I used it again on my second pregnancy for my home birth - again a beautiful perfect experience.

I decided to become a GB instructor during my second pregnancy, it made sense to learn the depth of it for my own benefits but also so I could share my knowledge and support other moms in the making.

I love GentleBirth because it puts together ALL the elements I wanted to offer in a childbirth class. From brain training, hypnosis and affirmations to physical comfort measures, this program offers everything you need in one curriculum. It’s not focused on having a “XYZ” type of birth. It’s focused on having the best experience possible, even if your plans change unexpectedly. I am committed to providing loving and caring support to all my GentleBirth families throughout their entire birth experience. I believe in the strength and power of women. With strong, positive support and clear, evidence-based information, most births will progress smoothly, happily and normally. I look forward to working together and making your “Birth”-day the best day of your life!
