Service Description

Welcome to Stillworks Meditation, where you can experience a unique preparation for you, your birth partner & your baby for a gentle birth - whether that is at home or in hospital, and whatever type of birth you are planning or hoping for. Natalie, a qualified hypnotherapist & hypnobirther accredited through KGH Hypnobirthing (endorsed by the Royal College of Midwives) offers a personalized course, comprising as many one-to-one 90-minute sessions as you choose, including: - Breath practices for use during pregnancy, early labour & birth - Personalised hypnotherapy scripts - A full antenatal course including creating your birth plan, questions for antenatal appointments & during the birth - Unique preparation techniques for planned or unplanned inductions & caesarean births - Mindful neuroplasticity exercises to help manage anxious or worrying thoughts - Gentle exercise based on Qigong Shibashi Set 1 recommended for antenatal & postnatal health - A library of resources to use before, during & after birth How does it work? The mind can be a very powerful ally, but it can also be the source of much worry & distress. By combining proven hypnotherapy, mindfulness & exercise techniques you will learn how to harness your body & mind's amazing creative abilities to help you during pregnancy & birth. By preparing for your birth you enable yourself to feel more empowered & safe in the knowledge that you will make the right decisions for you & your baby at all stages in your baby's birth. We begin with a 90-minute session to discuss your particular circumstances, wants & needs and then design a program around what you need & what fits with your current commitments. Subsequent sessions can be anything up to 3-hours in length depending on when you expect your baby to make an appearance. You will receive recordings of the practises so that you can train your brain to think & feel in a way that is helpful to you throughout your birth experience. You will also learn how to help your body give birth, avoiding unnecessary interventions.
