Drawing on my extensive experience as a midwife, I’ve witnessed first hand the remarkable benefits of integrating hypnotherapy into perinatal care. Pregnancy can be a time of heightened anxiety—and hypnotherapy is incredibly effective at soothing the nervous system, significantly reducing stress, and promoting relaxation for both expectant mothers and fathers.
Additionally, the Rewind Technique is a powerful, evidence-based method for addressing phobias, birth trauma, and PTSD. it is used extensively during the antenatal and postnatal periods and and the transformative outcomes have been truly impressive.

Birth Trauma for Mothers and Birthing people

It’s a non-intrusive and efficient way to process tough memories linked to childbirth.

Unlike other therapies, we don’t need to discuss all the details of the traumatic event.
By revisiting the memory in a safe and controlled way, the goal is to lessen the emotional impact linked to the trauma. This method has shown promise in helping mothers and birthing individuals process and reduce the emotional burden of birth trauma, leading to relief from symptoms and a stronger sense of empowerment and well-being.

By encouraging a forward-looking and positive mindset in these sessions, birth partners can develop ways to cope, lessen anxiety, and improve overall well-being and resilience. We will work together to process and overcome the challenges of any birth trauma.
