Deep Relaxation for Labor and Birth - Early Fall Session

Intuitively, women know how to give birth. In this 3 part class, birthing women and their companion(if applicable) learn self hypnosis techniques that are used before, during and after their labor and birth to promote relaxation and a calm environment.  Deep relaxation allows the birthing woman and her companion to move through the birthing journey more comfortably and with greater self confidence.  Reflecting on the importance and value of their relationship - how they work together-is an integral part of understanding how they work together at their birth.  

Two breathing patterns are incorporated with verbal cues, massage and touch relaxation.  With instructor guidance, support and suggestions, birthing women and their companion discover ways unique to them as they support each other.  The birth experience is an emotional and physical challenge for both the birthing woman and her companion.  It is stressed that there is no right, no wrong and no perfect.  If these techniques help birthing women and their companions move through their pregnancy and up to or through their labor and birth with less stress and greater confidence, they are “successful”.

Learn techniques that help create a satisfying and rewarding experience for all involved.  Class participants receive a CD which includes positive words and images for pregnancy labor and birth, working with breathing techniques, and a deep relaxation for labor and birth. A basic understanding of the signs and stages of labor and birth is also incorporated in the class.

The simplicity of this class is purposeful.  Today there are vast assortments of books, DVDS, CDS and classes available to birthing families. Most are variations of the same theme. The true effectiveness of Deep Relaxation For Labor and Birth is the birthing woman and her companion’s commitment to working together, loving, and supporting and caring for each other to create a positive birth experience. This class is designed to bring you to a place where you can acheive this.
