Hypnosis For Birth / Hypnobirthing

Imagine looking forward to your baby's birth, feeling confident and relaxed. Imagine coping well and relaxing deeper than you ever thought possible. Imagine your baby being born in an atmosphere of calm and peace.

More and more women these days are turning to hypnosis for an easier, calmer and more comfortable birth. Whether planning a hospital or home birth, a medicated or natural birth, hypnosis is an effective tool to allow you to stay in control and have a more comfortable pregnancy and more natural birth experience.

Research studies show that the use of hypnosis for childbirth results in

  • shorter labours
  • reduced use of pain medication
  • higher Apgar scores (measurement of the baby's well being at birth)
  • reduced surgical delivery (Caesarian or forceps)
  • reduced postpartum depression.


Usually, 4 to 6 sessions are required to create an easier birth. It allows you enough time to learn (and practise) self-hypnosis for the birth and deal with other pregnancy issues (nausea, breech, insomnia, anxiety) if necessary. The last session should preferably be scheduled 6 to 8 weeks before your due date. Ideally you would want to begin this program between 20 and 26 weeks of pregnancy.

Some of the skills you will learn:

  • How to put yourself quickly and efficiently in a state of natural trance and relaxation
  • How to trust in your body's natural ability to give birth and to support your body best
  • How to feel a slight discomfort or pressure or numbing rather than pain
  • How to stay positive, calm and strong through all three stages of labour

What your partner will learn:

  • How to best support you going into trance
  • How to give you the suggestions you want to hear
  • How to make you more comfortable in all three stages of labour

    Testimonials

    Angelika has helped me to identify subconscious fears and to release them using hypnotherapy and the Psych-KŪ technique. Hypnotherapy was a very effective tool which had immediate results in turning my breech baby.

    —Lily C., R.M.T., Mississauga



    Angelika, My husband and I would like to thank you for your help and support during the last seven months. With hypnosis I was able to release all unnecessary anxiety and truly enjoy the pregnancy. You taught me to see pain as a natural part of the birth experience, so I could get rid of limiting ideas. Thanks to your sessions I was able to experience being in control when giving birth to our beautiful daughter. It was wonderful to be able to go with the flow of nature, and I feel blessed to have been able to experience such a positive and natural birth. We are proud parents of a balanced and happy child due to the amazing start we had with her. Thank you for teaching me how to use hypnosis to make this the best possible experience.

    —Christine M., Mississauga



    ... Angelika helped me through the challenges of being pregnant. By teaching me self hypnosis she made it possible for me to have a more natural birth than I would otherwise have had the courage to sign up for. Thank you, Angelika, for your patience, your love and wisdom.

    —Rita, Mississauga
