I am delighted that the NHS is now offering hypnobirthing lessons on the NHS, although this is still limited to some parts of the country, notably the north-east in Hartlepool and Tyne Tees. It is such a good idea to learn a self-hypnosis/deep relaxation technique in the months leading up to having a baby as this generally leads to a much calmer, happier pregnancy as well as birth experience.

Even better, if you can continue to find time (so difficult, I realise with a new baby!) to carry on a regular practise of self-hypnosis, this will help to make you a much calmer parent.

My first experience of hypnosis was just after my eldest son was born, when I had several sessions with a local hypnotherapist, who gave me a cassette tape (showing my age here) which I regularly used at home when Olly was having his nap. This then formed the basis for my interest in hypnosis, which then eventually became a career.

Making time for yourself – even just 10 minutes per day – is a wonderful gift to yourself to bring down stress and pain levels, whatever life is throwing at you.

Do get in touch if you would like to find out more about the wonderful power of hypnosis, and how you can learn to use it yourself in your daily life, with quite amazing results.

I would also like to add that I am experienced in helping couples with fertility issues, as well as being able to provide hypnotherapy for a more relaxed pregnancy and birth.

I look forward to hearing from you!
