Did you know that at the time of birth, your baby only has about 66% of their total blood supply? 1-5 minutes later, when the umbilical cord finally stops pulsating, they have nearly 100% of their …

Tension in the mind translates to tension in the body. The power is in the breath. When you learn to relax into a long, slow outward breath, your body will release oxytocin and endorphins...hormones that help your uterus and cervix to relax.

Three pregnancies, three beautiful children. This is exactly why I've been doing the work I do for the last 6 years. To support couples during this precious stage of life is such a gift. Sometimes working daytimes in clinic and evenings teaching HypnoBirthing is so, so tiring...but it is worth it!

Did you know....Oxytocin is the hormone that causes the uterus to contract during labour. Levels of oxytocin gradually increase throughout labour, and are highest around the time of birth, when it contributes to the euphoria and receptiveness to her baby that a mother usually feels after an unmedicated birth. Interestingly, this peak, which is triggered by sensations of stretching of the birth canal as the baby is born, does not occur when an epidural is in place.

Did you know...? Your amazing birthing body releases endorphins, a powerful natural relaxant and pain reliever. These wonderful hormones prescribed by mother nature, are two hundred times stronger than morphine when released effectively during birth. What impedes the release of endorphins? Anxiety, fear and tension.
