What mums have said..

“We had been trying for a baby for 2 years. Every month was like a rollercoaster of hope followed by depression. I was skeptical at first about using Hypnosis but after a couple of sessions, I realised that there were quite a few emotional issues which had stopped me from getting pregnant. With these out of the way, I was far more relaxed and prepared to conceive – Just six weeks later I was pregnant! My baby is due at Christmas and I am already thinking abut using the birthing CDs.” Alison, Hampshire, UK

“Listening to the CD really helped me relax and prepare myself for pregnancy again. I needed to get over any uncertainties I felt over getting pregnant for the second time, I was apprehensive because I knew exactly what was involved in pregnancy and birth from my experiences with my first child. Listening to the CD helped me get over those concerns and be sure about what I wanted, which I think is essential if you want to get pregnant. It also helped me to become more in tune with my body’s monthly cycle so I became more aware of my fertile times of the month. After listening to the CD on a regular basis we had no trouble conceiving”. Sarah Howard, Sussex UK

(used with IVF) “The reason chose the preparing to conceive cd was to help me prepare for my eggs being collected and then my fertilized embryos being put back in. I believe the cd will help me to relax when this occurs. the cd has also helped to put me into a positive frame of mind and help me to look froward to the treatment whatever the out come maybe. I have had some very personal issues that I will never be completely sure if they will effect my emotional state when having my treatment but I do believe that the cd has helped me to look into these issues and work on them. I will definitely continue to use the cd now and after my embryo transfer to help me to relax and hopefully this may help with my embryos implanting.” Trudy

Preparing to conceive

The CD combines deep relaxation and hypnosis techniques, which enables mothers to prepare emotionally as well as physically for conception. Once deeply relaxed, the techniques and suggestions on this CD are directed at the subconscious part of the mind and takes you on a journey to recognize and then “let go” of any reasons which may be holding back your body from conceiving

The mind and the body can not be separated – in fact they are not 2 entities, they are simply one. The body acts out and stores all the emotions and thoughts of the mind. Every memory, every feeling, every fear is stored in our body.

There may be many, many reasons why a women’s body is not prepared to conceive. They may be reasons, which the subconscious part of the mind believes are important enough to protect her from conceiving. Common concerns include “How will the new baby really fit into my lifestyle? How will it effect my relationships? Can we cope financially? Can I be a good enough mother? Can I really produce a happy healthy child? How will I cope with giving birth? Will I be as good / bad as my own mother? Will having a baby destroy my figure?”

Often, women today have spent many years being mentally and emotionally opposed to getting pregnant and have actively prevented conception by using contraceptives. Often their subconscious has been so geared towards preventing pregnancy that when the woman feels the “time is now right” to have a baby, the subconscious needs to have “permission” to stop protecting her from having a baby.

Listening to the CD helps a women move on from any blocks which have held her back and to give her body ‘permission’ to conceive.

What mums have said.

Case study – Kim Moment 2nd time mother – 1st born by C section

Listened to the VBAC set 16 – 20 times

“I started listening to the CD around 32 weeks at night in bed. It was wonderful. I always fell asleep before the end and woke up relaxed and calm. Even my husband benefited from it.

I went into labour nearly 4 weeks early. I was very calm going about my business having afternoon tea with friends who happen to be doctors. I finally decided to go to the hospital at 5pm to be checked and I was already 4 cm!. Over the next hour the contractions got stronger so I had a bath which was lovely.

By 9.30 I was at the stage when I thought I might need additional pain relief, but I was then fully dilated and ready to push. I was so focused and relaxed that the midwives asked if I had done Yoga. Pushing was easy until the last bit when my husband passed out and split his lip needing A&E attention!. I felt great afterwards and very happy to have done it on my own,

All in all great experience – was ready to do it again within minutes.”

Case study – Sandra Jenks 2nd time mother (c-section for 1st)

Listened to the VBAC CDs 16 – 20 times

“The first CD really helped me overcome a traumatic first C -section and so the best thing for me was the fact that during the labour, I didn’t once think about my previous c/section – not at all! The labour was long, hard and at times painful, but there was no sense of panic at any stage. The midwives were impressed with my coping so well. My husband didn’t want to be present so my best friend came. She had read the Natal hypnotherapy literature and we soon had our own rhythm & routine going. She says it’s the best thing she’s ever done. The comfort dial, breathing, and seeing each contraction as taking me one step closer to meeting my baby really helped. The best thing is having a wonderfully calm baby – I’m convinced this is due to the relaxation I experienced with the CDs in the latter weeks of pregnancy! As a result he made a calm, quiet entry into the world with no screaming or panic, in this own time on the day he was due. I can’t wait to do it again!“

Case study – Rebecca Clifton 2nd time mother (c-section for 1st child)

Listened to the VBAC 1 & 2 CD 20+ times

“I am writing this because I want to encourage every mother to have natural births, working with their body and so having a positive birth experience. The CDs helped me so much, especially to have faith in my own body and my ability to give birth vaginally.

I started labour slowly having light contractions 5 mins apart. Because of my history, I was admitted to hospital. I continued to have contractions through to the next day, at which point I was told that if things did not get going I would have to have another section. They broke my waters that evening. I imagined my body opening and stayed calm. I began to dilate more and more and the contractions became stronger. I listened to the birth music and reminded myself regularly that my body was designed to do this with ease. 2 hours later I asked for gas and air.

The consultant insisted that I have IV access in my hand in case I had to be rushed down for a section, irritated me all through the labour. I argued but had no choice. At 2 am I was almost ready to push. My midwife asked me to lie dawn and then pushed back the last bit of the cervix with her fingers. At this point I started to push. I wanted to get up but could not. It was hard work and the consultant was at the end of my bed saying ” cut her”, but my midwife said “no, she can do it!. I kept going and used my own hand to ease my perineum. He flew out suddenly at 3.28. I was so happy, I had no stitches and although sore and grazed would do it all again. My notes confirmed how calm I was throughout and 3 separate midwives asked it they could photocopy the natal hypnotherapy notes I had! – I think you are doing a great job”

What mums have said.

”My midwife was amazed how clam I was without pain relief.   One of the doctors was sure I had had an epidural based on my calm demeanour.”  Ann McNeeney

 “Excellent CD.   I know now I should have purchased them  earlier and listened to them a lot more. I refused all painkillers, I knew I could get through with breathing correctly and remembering what you said on the CD. I was so tired but amazingly positive and kept my sense of humour throughout.”  Fleur Shaw

“I often listened to the CDs  at night in bed, consequently so did my husband.   We both slept well and he was equally as calm.  I was lucky enough to have the kind of birth experience I only dared to dream about.    I am fully aware that these things don’t always go to plan.  I felt no anxiety during the labour and did indeed trust my body to  do the right thing…which it did. I was able to have micronaps whilst in the bath between contractions – I do feel the CD had a big part to play in that.”  Angela Dawson

“The CDs are perfect the way they are. Thank you for enabling me to have the type of birth I really wanted. Third baby and the first with no drugs”.  Kathy Evans

“Really relaxed me whilst listening to them and helped me sleep in the day, which I normally can’t do. We arrived at the hospital at 12.30. Midwives commented on how calm and relaxed I was. I was 5 cm. Within an hour and a half I was fully dilated. After about 6 pushes Evie was born. As she had the cord around her neck I had to stop pushing, which I managed easily – again by breathing techniques and visualizing – so thank you! Midwives commented on how calm and relaxed I was”.  Rachel Kellar

Imagine coming home from a hard day, knowing that listening to a CD for half an hour will take you into a blissful, quiet state when you feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed. Stress and stress-related illness are unfortunately becoming more and more commonplace in our society – and traditional medicines only combat the effects of this, not the underlying causes. Hypnosis has been shown to be an effective and powerful tool in aiding relaxation and combating stress, and with the Relaxation and Stress Management CD, it takes just half an hour in the privacy of your own home to feel refreshed, calm and confident.

The Relaxation and Stress Management CD uses self-hypnosis to both soothe existing feelings of stress with immediate relaxation, and tackle the root causes of stress to keep you relaxed in the future. Once in the hypnotic state of deep relaxation, you can tune into the part of your brain responsible for beliefs and emotions. Listening to positive suggestions while in this state helps you to overcome and replace any fears with confidence and belief in your abilities.

The CD, created by qualified clinical hypnotherapist Maggie Howell, slowly guides you into a state of deep relaxation, using deep breathing and visualization to take you on a gentle journey to calm your mind and relax your body. The CD then turns to positive suggestions about your effectiveness, feelings of control and relaxation levels, encouraging you to feel calmer in your daily activities, to sleep better, and to manage stressful situations more successfully.

Unwind, de-stress, and improve your future wellbeing with the Relaxation and Stress Management CD

This CD has NO reference to pregnancy or birth.

This new CD is specially designed to guide and support you through the process of breastfeeding. Through deep relaxation, breathing exercises, practical advice and guided visualisations of comfortable and successful breastfeeding, this effective self-hypnosis audio CD increases your confidence and ability to breastfeed. It helps you to trust in your ability to produce the right amount of milk, let go of any concerns you may have surrounding breastfeeding, and maximise your bonding with your baby.

Breastfeeding is universally recommended by birthing professionals, but worry and unrealistic expectations mean that many women struggle to establish and continue breastfeeding. Difficulties are often due to the mother feeling tense and worried about doing it right or not producing enough milk, not following the natural cues and rhythms of her baby’s need to feed, and not eating and drinking enough. If you are feeling stressed or anxious about breastfeeding, your body will not produce the hormones which send prompt the production of the right amount of milk for your baby – and your baby may pick up on your concerns too. All of these factors compound the problem, as stress and anxiety are directly linked to a reduction in the production of milk. However, once a mother relaxes and begins to trust her body and her baby’s cues to feed, breastfeeding becomes a much easier and more enjoyable experience. This CD helps you to let go of anxiety and teaches you to relax before, during and after feeding, promoting a two-way communication and bond with your baby.

top of page

The CD has two main sections, with a brief introduction on how to get the most out of the CD. The first section is a full hypnosis session intended for you to listen to by yourself in the first few weeks of motherhood so you can really let go and relax. This session also puts in place plenty of practical suggestions that will help you when you come to breastfeeding your baby. The second section is a relaxation and guidance session to be used while breastfeeding your baby. This session guides you through the breastfeeding process, giving you time to settle down with your baby and helping you to keep relaxed throughout.

The CD will help you to:

• Feel relaxed and confident about breastfeeding.
• Develop a deep trust of your body’s ability to breastfeed successfully.
• Enjoy and feel comfortable about breastfeeding.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle while breastfeeding your baby.
• Bond with your baby.

“I really believed the CDs helped me as I could visualize the babies head descending and stretching my perineum. It was all very calm and as a result I had not cuts or tears. Within 2 hours of the birth I felt great having showered and dressed. It was so much easier than a cesearean. All the midwives remarked on what a great birth I had – especially being a VBAC. It may not have eliminated all the pain, but I am sure it made it a calmer and easier birth” – Zoe Newman

“Having a home birth after the terrible caesarean experience I had last time was truly magical as well as cathartic. I now realize what birth can and should be like. I was so in control, I had complete confidence in my body and I was calm and relaxed throughout. Thank you so much for your help”. – Becky, Hampshire

“I am delighted to inform you that I gave birth vaginally to a little boy, Luke, on 22nd April. This was after two caesareans. I found you’re CDs enormously beneficial. All were positive affirmations that a normal delivery was indeed possible. My husband and birthing partner also listened to the CDs, it made my experience one I shall look back on with awe and gratitude” Lindsey, Cornwall
