Hypnobirthing is simply a way of learning how to go into a state of deep relaxation during the birth of your baby. Sounds simple right? Well…there’s actually quite a bit more to it… You see, as a society, we have become really quite fearful of childbirth. We’ve lost trust in our body to be able to conceive, grow, birth and feed our baby. We immediately think that birth is going to be painful, frightening and dangerous. So with all this in mind…relaxing during birth is near on impossible…our subconscious mind simply won’t allow it. So when you embark on a Hypnobirthing course with me, I aim to alleviate these fears and teach you a range of techniques to help you access that lovely deep state of relaxation we want. First, we talk about what fears you have and where they come from. I teach you how to alleviate those fears so that you can go into the birth of your baby with a confident and positive mind set. Then, we learn the Hypnobirthing techniques. A combination of breathing, affirmations, relaxations, visualisations, massage and anchors for you to use during the birth process and beyond. Next, we talk about how to make informed choices and take control when it comes to the care of you and your baby and you’ll learn how to put together an informed, well researched birth plan that works for YOU. And lastly, you’ll receive a full antenatal education where you’ll learn exactly what happens during the birth process from start to finish so that you can work with your body. Does all of this sound good? I teach in-person Hypnobirthing courses in Alnwick, Northumberland. I’m also available to work online over zoom, so we can work together wherever you are. All of my courses include a space for both you and your birth partner, so that you can go into the birth of your baby feeling fully supported.
About
My name is Ellie. I am a birth educator, Hypnobirthing teacher and antenatal instructor living in rural Northumberland.
I am a wife, mother of two feral children, snuggler of a big yellow labrador named Bosun and a copious drinker of tea!
My aim is that every body I work with has a positive birth experience. Whatever your ideal birth looks like, I want to help you achieve that. Whether you want to birth in your local birth centre with gas and air, whether you’re electing for a calm caesarean or whether you want to freebirth in the woods, all birth choices are valid here at Belle Mama.
I believe that every body deserves a positive birth experience, which is why I’ve created something to suit every budget.
