During pregnancy

Hypnosis is a valuable tool for managing common pregnancy complaints, such as nausea, irritability, and fatigue.

Self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques help a mother to calmly face physical and emotional changes, and also improve the quality of her sleep.

Before giving birth

Mentally preparing your body for childbirth is an essential preliminary which contributes to a peaceful experience.

Hypnotherapy helps a pregnant woman to positively visualise every phase of childbirth, preparing the mind and body to face birth in a natural way, without fear and with greater awareness.

During childbirth

Hypnotherapy allows you to effectively manage the pain of contractions, thus promoting a natural birth.

Self-hypnosis techniques learned during the course help to maintain control, reduce anxiety, and improve the birth experience.

After giving birth

Hypnosis continues to be useful even in the postnatal period, helping the couple adapt to their new reality. It supports the mother in managing her relationship with the newborn infant, and helps to prevent postnatal depression (often known as “baby blues”).

Furthermore, it also helps to improve the relationship between the couple and to rediscover a serene sexuality.

Personalised support

Early management is essential to master self-hypnosis techniques, which can then be applied independently during childbirth. Recent studies suggest that a short course of self-hypnosis makes the birth experience more peaceful and positive. In addition, CDs or tablet apps can be used for independent support in the delivery room.

Your partner can also benefit from hypnosis to reduce stress and help you both live this special moment together peacefully.
