Enjoy Natural Birth

Enjoy natural birth? Yes, you can! I am now certified to teach Hypnobabies classes in the southern UT area. I have a new website too at www.enjoynaturalbirth.com So if you are interested in taking a Hypnobabies class, please contact me here.

Ok, I've done it!

I just got back from California after a very intensive 5-day training to become a Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor (or HCHI). I just have to do a few more things, and then I'm all set to teach classes! And by the way, in case you didn't know, I've moved to St. George, UT. I'm so happy to bring Hypnobabies to the south of UT, since all the other instructors in UT are in the north! So if you are in southern UT, and want to have an awesome comfortable birth, contact me!

Hypnobabies Instructor

You are the first to know! I talked with Kerry Tuschoff, the owner of Hypnobabies. And I just turned in my application to go to the Hypnobabies Instructor training in California. The training is in July, but soon after that I will be teaching classes! I'm so excited! I'm glad to be able to help others have a comfortable, amazing, and joyous birth. This is something that I've thought about ever since my pregnancy and birth of my first child. Who would've known? Birth is something that I've learned about, that I'm excited about, and very passionate about. I'm glad that I can share that passion with others, and help them have the birth of their dreams.

Hypno-Curiously.....
Misconceptions about Hypnosis for Childbirth
By Kerry Tuschhoff and Carole Thorpe

Click on the link to this wonderful article here.

It is kind of a lengthy article, that is why I just linked to it. And also, be sure you have a few minutes to read it. But I thought it was a fantastic article explaining many misconceptions there are about childbirth hypnosis, and more specifically, Hypnobabies. I don't think I could recommend Hypnobabies enough, it's WONDERFUL! Talk about enjoying your birth!

Have the Kind of Birth That YOU Want.

I just wanted to follow-up a little bit from my last post. I don't know why, but I think sometimes women who don't have "natural" labors feel a little threatened by those who do. I just wanted to clear things up a little, in my opinion anyway... For me, I don't think those who have natural births are any better than those who don't. I don't go around and brag about my natural births. Whenever I talk about my experiences, I'm just sharing what amazing experiences I had for me. I found a way to have a natural labor with no pain, it was perfect FOR ME. I don't wish labor pain on anybody, so if that means that if YOU want to get an epidural, great! Than go for it! But just be educated in your decision, and know that sometimes, there are risks associated with that. Just like there are risks associated with pretty much anything in life! Especially with anything medical, there are side effects to all medical procedures, little or not. You just have to weigh the pros and cons, and statistics for you. So if you had a wonderful experience having an epidural with your birth, that's great for you! You were one that side-effects were ok, and the other risks didn't happen for you. Everyone has a right to the kind of birth that they want, so go for it!

If You Give A Woman An Epidural...

I just randomly found this post, I just think it's soooo true. It's the domino effect that Henci Goer talks about in her book... Go here...
