EnergyFlow HypnoBirthing - Hypnosis for Birth
HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. This amazing program teaches you, along with your birthing |
companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. You will learn how to call upon your body's own natural relaxant and thus lessen, or even eliminate, discomfort and the need for medication. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when mind and body are in harmony, Nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all animal mothers in Nature.
You will be fascinated as you view HypnoBirthing® films, showing labouring mothers, awake, alert and in good humour as they experience the kind of gentle birth that you, too, can know when you are free of the fear that causes pain and tension. Through self-hypnosis, special breathing, and visualization, HypnoBirthing® teaches you to release all prior programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain-causing fear and unyielding muscles.
The course includes:
 |
The official HypnoBirthing® book, and 2 Cd's plus all necessary handouts. |
 |
4 sessions of 2 1/2 hours training in a group setting of no more than 5 couples |
 |
A clearly defined role for fathers/birthing companion enabling them to take an active part in the birthing process, enhancing the mothers experience as well. |
 |
Methods and practical exercises to experience deep relaxation in preparation for the birth, and during the birth. |
 |
An explanation of the physiological effect of fear on the birthing process. |
 |
A practical process to discover and then release your personal limiting beliefs and fears around birth. |
 |
Experiential training on how to de-sensitize parts of the body during birth using self hypnosis. |
 |
Visualisation techniques, and ways to induce labour naturally. |

What past participants are saying about Discreetly Fit:
"Whether you are expecting a child or have finished with your pregnancies, or are just interested in protecting your pelvic floor fitness for the future, you will get an amazing amount of knowledge from this course that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Kathi's course for everyone. Her humour, grace, tact and caring attitude made the information easy to understand and apply. Even after two children, years of yoga and dance and countless physio appointments I still learnt an incredible amount. I can see an improvement already in only 1 week. I wish I had known this when I was pregnant. Please take the opportunity to learn the info about pelvic floor health that has been lost in our culture."
"I feel full of confidence that I can now train and maintain my pelvic floor for the future."
"I learnt so much, things that I never even thought I would learn at your course. Overall it's been a very positive experience."
"Kathi's patient, supportive and gently approach made it so much easier to learn the right way to look after my pelvic floor, before during and after birth. I learnt a lot of incredibly valuable information and techniques to continue to practice and improve, without once feeling embarrassed about the area we were exercising."
