What on Earth is HypnoBirthing™?

Maybe you've already seen the signs at my office or my posts on Facebook, but it's official: I am a certified HypnoBirthing™ instructor!  What does that mean, and why am I so excited about it?There is a LOT of misinformation regarding pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum phase.  I knew it existed before I ever became a mother, but when I was pregnant with my son, it all came to the forefront.  In teaming up with the creators of BirthFIT, I found a way to help women prepare their bodies for pregnancy, labor, and birth.  Both of the BirthFIT founders are HypnoBirthing™ instructors, and I thought that was great for them.  I've always understood that mindset is incredibly important in any endeavor, but I wasn't sure about all of that hypnosis stuff.But then I started researching.  As it turns out, hypnosis as it is shown in movies or stage performances is pretty misleading.  If you are under hypnosis, you are basically in an extremely relaxed state.  What woman wouldn't want to give birth in a relaxed, calm state instead of the hyper-panic state that is portrayed on TV?Things like visualization, guided imagery, positive affirmations, and relaxation techniques are wonderful tools that most people use on a daily basis, and they are the building blocks of the HypnoBirthing™ courses.  Learning how to calm yourself, relax your body, and focus your mind on a specific task or thought can help you achieve a gentle, calm, and drama-free birth.  But first, you have to forget all of the negative thoughts and images you have associated with pregnancy and birth.  Are you interested in finding out how calm, beautiful, and peaceful birth can truly be?  Classes will be forming soon, so contact me to stay updated!
