As a Doula or Midwife, you are privileged to accompany women through one of life's most remarkable, life-changing experiences; childbirth. Some of your clients; the one who are using hypnosis for childbirth, have unique needs, and if you have the desire to help them to their best advantage, read on!
Doulas and midwives are such wonderful, amazing women, and I believe that every expectant woman would do well to have them in attendance when they give birth. Did you know? - Regular doula training and labor-assistance techniques for natural childbirth may not be the best ones for many Hypno-moms. For instance, much of what a traditionally trained doula or midwife does to help the mom obtain more comfort during labor is very physical, and in a hypnotic childbirth experience, most physical and emotional comfort comes directly from going deeper into hypnosis by way of a number of cues and relaxation techniques as well as post-hypnotic suggestions. Couples using birth hypnosishave special needs and there is much you can do to enhance their childbirth experience. I invite you to learn as much as you can for the sake of these wonderful young couples and their Hypno-babies!
