Childbirth Hypnosis- A Labor Of Love

Have you heard stories about birth that worry you?

Are you afraid you will "lose it" during labor?

Do you want a natural childbirth and a peaceful experience?

Hypnosis for Childbirth has been around for decades and has amazed the doctors, nurses and birth assistants when they observe a peaceful birth.

A mother feels the pressure during a contraction, but the pain is often not an element of the labor process. Birth is an intense experience, but with the help of a great hypnotherapy program you can have an amazing experience that is quiet and gentle, and often shorten the labor.

Women all over the world are learning hypnosis for birthing and realizing how powerful their mind and body can be when they choose to stay in control during labor. The doctors, nurses and midwives, while often skeptical at first, see a labor in a new way. The mom goes into a contraction by closing her eyes, going limp and allowing her body to feel waves of bliss as she takes her mind into the experience of waves of anesthesia that flow through her body.

From Jill of Seattle, WA
How does it work? I purchased your DVD and CD set "Hypnosis for Childbirth" and studied it diligently during the last months of my first pregnancy. I went into labor fully confident that I could deliver without pain medications. I used your hypnosis method during the labor and delivery, and it worked perfectly! Every contraction I forced myself to relax and use hypnosis to block out any discomfort. I was completely relaxed and the doctors and nurses weren't even sure I was having contractions other than seeing them on the monitor. After my daughter was born, the nurse, who has been delivering babies for 15 years, told me that she has never seen a patient labor like I did. She said my body was like a wet noodle, just laying there through the whole thing, and it looked like I was sleeping, and not in labor at all!! Well, thanks for a great product. I will use your hypnosis tapes for my next child as well.

Why is labor shortened?

Many women feel that their labor is shorter with hypnosis. Babies that are born with a hypno birth are said to flow out of the body. The shorter labor, transition and pushing might be due to the lack of resistance from the muscles in the body. A painful labor creates massive tension and resistance to the natural downward movement of the baby. With the body in a constant state of tension it is in conflict with the process of birth. The extremely relaxed body is the perfect environment to allow contractions to move the baby down with less effort. I attended a birth where the baby was born in 2 pushes. The midwives at the birth could not even tell if she was having contractions! That is how peaceful she was.

Women are taught that labor is painful. What did you learn?

Maybe it is a bonding thing. Maybe it is just a woman's way of earning that badge of motherhood. But, the horror stories about birth, whether hearing them from a friend or seeing it in a movie, affect the way women expect their birth to be.
Everything about birth is affected by our expectations. And there is no shortage of stories!
Releasing the fears and misconceptions about painful births is an important part of the process. The session for releasing fears will take you through an amazing and therapeutic healing process. 

You can see several hypnosis births on YouTube and find out how different it can be.

Hypnosis birth video

This doctor was amazed at how fast labor went and didn't believe she was ready to push because she was so calm.
Video and news story.

Can any woman have a calm Hypnosis Birth?

You can practice for a month or two and get yourself ready for a wonderful birth. Everyone can learn the techniques and let their birth partner assist them or listen to the CDs during their birth. 

My program has several sessions that take you from your preparation to the sessions for labor.

The sessions that are to be used during birth have a choice of music. I have used the same hypnosis session with different types of music backgrounds to give you the experience that will suit you the best.

Here is what you will get.

The Labor of Love, Childbirth Hypnosis Program

Childbirth- Deep Trance session
In this session you will teach your body and mind to go into trance. This session is a wonderful way to give your body the deepest relaxation state, and to release tension and tightness from every muscle in your body.
If you use this CD often, once or twice a day, you will notice that you go into trance very quickly and will respond to the verbal cues for deep and instant relaxation in the hypnosis birthing sessions.
This session has soft flowing music with Binaural beats. The binaural beats help to synchronize your brain waves to help you relax into Alpha and Theta states for a deeper trance experience.

Childbirth preparation 1- Body of Bliss
This session is a beautiful experience that will melt away tension or tightness. Your mind will learn to relax your body with commands that your birth partner can also use. Your birth partner will be asked to touch your shoulder with the words "Deeper Relaxed Now" and also to lightly stroke your arm from the top of your shoulder down to the tips of your fingers. As you listen to this session you will learn to float away into a blissful state and let your body have a natural anesthesia flowing through your body like a river of bliss.
The background music is Moonlight Sonata

Childbirth preparation 2- Flowing into Birth
In this session you will be imagining your birth and practicing going into trance while imagining the start and end of a contraction. The more your mind practices the imagery and  associates the deep trance state with the process of labor, the easier it will be for you to drift easily into trance with every contraction. You will also be experiencing suggestions about the baby flowing out of your body and the imagery of a rosebud that is opening and blooming to assist in the opening of your birth canal.
Your birth partner can help with the shoulder touch command for deep relaxation and the soft floating fingertips along your arm.
The background music is soft, flowing with Binaural Beats.

Release Fears
You may have heard a lot of stories about difficult births or seen movies of births with mothers screaming and out of control. These images and stories have a powerful effect on the birth expectations. Releasing those fears is an important part of having a peaceful hypnosis birth. In this session you will find those fears in a gentle and nurturing way and release them while your inner mind understands that those experiences are not the way birth has to be. You may also uncover some old feelings or beliefs about birth from long ago. This is a very freeing and enlightening session.
The music on this session is light and happy.

Intro To Labor with Hypnosis
An explanation on how to use the birthing hypnosis sessions, with a partner or without and how to get the very best experience with hypnosis.

Liquid Light, Birthing Hypnosis (music 1)
LABOR SESSION- this is one that you can listen to during labor. This session takes you on a journey through beautiful colors and sensations that help your mind and body to focus on peaceful feelings. You will feel like you are floating gently in a cocoon of light. The light changes colors and immerses you in a soft sensations. This is a great session to use in early labor, or for a change of pace in later labor.
The music on this session is a beautiful flowing flute with gentle tones in the background.

Liquid Light, birthing hypnosis (music 2)
This is the same session as above with different music. The music on this session is a blissful meditation music with singing bowls (the sound used in meditation with crystal bowls), soft chimes, tones and binaural beats.

Loving Labor, birthing hypnosis (music 1)
The words and trance commands will make your body go into trance during each contraction and the imagery will continue to relax you. In this session the body will continue to be loose and limp so there is no resistance. Hypnosis births often happen faster because the body is not resisting the birth process. The imagery used will continue to open the cervix and birth canal, relax all the muscles in the pelvis and also release any back tightness. Some women feel very secure and in control by using this session continuously during labor. Some women use this several times during labor but also alternate while allowing their birth partner to simply give suggestions and trance commands.
The music on this is the blissful meditation with binaural beats, crystal bowls and soft tones.

Loving Labor, birthing hypnosis (music 2)
This is the same as the above session with different music. This music is a simple piano piece, that repeats a slow, consistent pattern of sweet and nurturing notes. There is an undertone of soft cello as well.

HYPNOSIS DVD Training
The DVD classes will take you through the process of learning to create a trance state, bond with your baby, release fear, create hypnotic anesthesia, create triggers that will allow you to put yourself in trance, or for your birth partner to put you in trance.

You will also experience the imagined birth of your baby, to create the subconscious belief about the way your birth will be experienced. This CD set comes with a booklet that will give your partner the words and phrases to use during labor and other information including a birth plan.

If you are unable to attend a live class the classes on VIDEO will allow you to learn how to go into trance, trust your body, and experience a gentle peaceful birth. The hypnosis sessions on CD are a perfect way to learn and are designed to help you achieve trance, set triggers to relax instantly, and release fears.

On the VIDEO AND CDs you will learn how to relax deeply, then how to go into deep trance instantly, including the touch of your husband or birth assistant as a trigger to relax. You will teach your subconscious mind to use the actual sensations of a contraction as a trigger to relax deeply. You will learn the visualizations that will help your body become more open as your baby is birthed, so the pushing process is minimized. The fear release session will put your mind at ease and allow you to bring a special wisdom to your birth.

More Testimonials

I wanted to write to let you and Wendi know about our incredible birthing experience. We received the Birthing Hypnosis CDs the second week of April and my wife was listening to them daily for a little over a month. We had decided to have a homebirth for our second child and her midwife decided she wanted my wife in the hospital. Well, we had no intention of going to the hospital so we decided to go it alone. We played your hypnosis CDs throughout the last few hours of her labor which was about 9 hours total but just 2 1/2 hours of "hard labor." We played Disk 2 a few times and then we placed the track "Birth Preparation 2" on repeat for the last hour or two. The track was going right along with the actual contractions and I was going along with the triggers suggested, as well as reminding her to focus and relax. On the morning of May 20, 2003, my daughter was born, 9lbs. 10oz. My wife experienced no tearing whatsoever and recovered in just a few days. It really was no big deal (my wife's words!), but the experience will be with us forever. She wanted me to write this to let others know how much the CDs helped her to relax through childbirth and allow nature to do its thing. Ray A.

I am from CT. but I had been living and working in Tanzania 21/2 years ago. Early in my pregnancy I began to research different natural birthing techniques. I was adamantly against being medicated and very concerned about the affect the drugs could have on my baby. I kept coming across "Hypnobirthing" online. Several times I disregarded it as too far out. Finally I checked it out. I ordered the tapes and took them with me to Tanzania. It was the best thing I could have done. I studied the technique and really enjoyed the lessons. It is a very relaxing experience. I was concerned that I was not being as diligent as I should be and that I had also waited until 6 weeks before my due date to start the tapes. Honestly, I had a small amount of doubt until the day I went into labor. I cannot say enough about these tapes. I thought I might forget the technique, I didn't. It was the most natural wonderful experience. My birthing partner and I combined what we learned from Hypnobirthing with the "Active Birth" technique and a little accupressure. It all worked marvelously together. My nurses in Arusha did not realize I was progressing as quickly as I did because I was so relaxed and they were waiting for me to show signs of pain. I never did. I swear to you I felt no pain! My labour was exhausting but it did not hurt. I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy 7.5lbs boy. Our minds are amazing! Our bodies really do know what to do. I was the talk of the Old Arusha Clinic because of my amazing peaceful birth. Hypnobirthing absolutely works.

Wendi,

Just a quick thank-you and to let you know that I have just had my baby and due to your pain free childbirth CD I felt no pain during my contractions at all and have had a smooth recovery after childbirth. Thanks once again, Sam

First of all, happy new year. I'd like you to know that I just gave birth to a baby girl and used your Hypnobirthing cds. This is my fourth child and the only pain free birth I've had. I felt no pain at all until just before it was time to push. I have a bad back and as the baby was travelling close to my back, I had a terrible back pain which didn't last that long since after three pushes my baby was out.
