This is an anxious time for many expecting families. My next HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education series will be taught virtually. Now no matter where you live, in this class series you will learn how to experience a calm pregnancy and the tools you need to create a positive birth atmosphere.

Learn how to:
1) Build a positive birth vision.
2) Key questions to ask caregivers, ensuring you choose the right care provider and location for your family.
3) How to prepare mentally and physically for labor and birth.
4) Comfort measures for labor, including Rebozo techniques.
5) Advanced visualization, breathing, relaxation, and self-hypnosis techniques that create endorphins and help shorten labor by avoiding the effect of negative hormones that cause mother’s bodies to constrict.
6) To create a birth plan and how to avoid unnecessary interventions.

We will also cover the physiology of labor and the latest COVID-19 information and guidelines for expecting families.

Series begins April 20. Save 50% on the April 20th series when you register by using the code HYPNO50

The number one piece of advice that parents give soon-to-be parents is...to SLEEP! Seriously. Rest up and be lazy. You may miss those days soon!

Pregnant people need MORE water than the average person! Why? Because water helps form the placenta and the amniotic sac, your baby is depending on that water to grow!

Aim to drink AT LEAST 8-10 glasses of water a day. If you feel weak or headachy, try drinking 16 oz in one sitting.
To make your water more palatable, try adding cucumber slices, fresh fruit, fresh citrus juice or mint sprigs!

Animals do it, should humans too? The frisbee-sized gelatinous organ that sustains your baby’s life while inside the womb is delivered minutes after the baby and is usually tossed aside as medical waste. But there’s a growing trend in the West that is encouraging mothers to dehydrate, then consume their placenta in pill form. Advocates of the practice say that doing this can boost energy, increase milk production, and even help with postpartum depression.

Give it a search and see if placenta encapsulation is something that you might be interested in! Learn a little more about the practice here: https://bit.ly/2J4BsVU

Red raspberry leaf tea is known to improve reproductive health and balance hormones to increase fertility and ease overactive postpartum hormones. It’s also high in vitamins C, E, A, B and is packed with minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus, which is great for breast milk.

Additionally, drinking raspberry leaf tea can help reduce morning sickness, improves the strength of the amniotic sac, and has been found to reduce the pain of labor by toning muscles used during delivery.

Drink 1-3 cups every day to reap the benefits!
