Positive Birth Imaging

Using self-hypnosis techniques, your certified practitioner will assist you in visualizing your ideal birth. This session is designed to strengthen your confidence in your own natural ability to birth your baby.

Optimal Baby Positioning

While in hypnosis, you will be led through guided imagery to bring about deep relaxation. Suggestions are then given for you to visualize your baby easily turning into the proper vertex position for birthing. A study by Mehl (1994) showed hypnosis to have an 86% success rate in turning breech presentations: 69% higher than those undergoing standard obstetric care.

Combine with a 30 minute Massage for Optimal Baby Positioning to deepen your relaxation and enhance the effects.

Birth Release

When you are beyond your estimated due date, the Birth Release special session can help initiate spontaneous labor or jump-start a stalled labor. Your certified practitioner will guide you into deep relaxation, to assist you in releasing limiting thoughts to begin your birth journey.

Combine with a 30 minute Pre-Labor Massage to enhance the effects.

Head-to-Toe Therapeutic Massage Details: Your body will be completely covered with only the body part being worked on exposed. For best results and for your safety, please pre-hydrate by drinking at least one liter (about 32 ounces) of water throughout the day prior to your appointment. Recommended for almost everyone, everywhere!
