Peace of mind for you & baby
Welcome to The Complete Birth Company
Consider for a moment, a pregnancy where you feel in control - in control of your body, in control of your mind and at ease with any pain. While traditional procedures rely heavily on the use of drugs and sedation to make childbirth as manageable as possible, The Complete Birth Company offers a complete solution which lessens the need for these.
What we don't promise, is that with a wave of a magic wand you will have the perfect birth - unforeseen circumstances may arise - but we can equip you with the best tools possible for achieving a positive birth experience. While many mothers prefer to use more traditional means for child birth, our mums-to-be experience childbirth as it should be - relaxed, calm and in control. With our four week programme, we can show you how to reduce stress levels as well as the need for pain relief, leaving you in the driving seat.
We're very excited at the possibilities our programme offers mums-to-be - both first-timers and many-timers!
Parents-to-be can expect to:
- Experience hypnosis as a natural state of heightened awareness that is similar to daydreaming. A pleasant experience where you are aware of your surroundings and remain in control at all times
- Develop a positive attitude towards your pregnancy and birth by changing your expectation of birth to help you achieve a positive birth experience
- Learn relaxation and visualisation techniques to prepare your mind and body for birth
- Learn self hypnosis to manage pain in labour which encourages your body’s natural production of endorphins (natural pain relief)
- Be aware of your body’s contractions without the fear and tension that causes pain
- Be fully awake and prepared to give birth
All facilitators are qualified Midwives working in partnership with Hypnotherapists, and meet strict criteria in that they are all members of a professional regulatory body. This enables peace of mind for our clients and ensures that we constantly deliver a high standard of service to the public.
What does the course cover?
Our courses give the opportunity to empower you with the tools you need to remain calm and controlled during the weeks leading up to your birth and will help you manage any situation that may arise day-to-day.
We aim to offer you as an individual the resources that will make you aware of the control that you will have over your pregnancy and many other areas of your life. We will teach you self hypnosis and relaxation techniques, thus allowing you greater control over the daily management of your pregnancy.
Our courses also include:
- Birthing options - where to birth your baby
- Birthing positions to shorten your labour and reduce discomfort
- Gentle forms of pain relief
- Waterbirth
- Feeding your baby
What are the benefits of Hypnobirthing?
- A reduced fear of pregnancy and birth
- A reduced need for pain relief (including pethidine and epidural)
- A reduced possibility for medical intervention (such as caesarean section and assisted delivery)
- A shortened first stage of labour
- A sense of deep relaxation, which encourages a consistent oxygen supply to your baby during
- contractions, which can reduce fetal distress.
- A reduced risk of perineal trauma
- A reduced chance of post natal depression
Is it safe?
Hypnosis and self-hypnosis are incredibly safe methods of therapy and are widely acknowledged by modern medicine around the world. We often slip into trances without even realising (such as when concentrating exclusively on one thing) which is a perfectly normal state for humans.
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind and has been used for centuries to aid women in childbirth. The techniques that are taught help you to relax and enter a state of mind where your stress levels are reduced, which in turn helps to control the 'fear-tension-pain' syndrome. Once you have this under control, you will be amazed at the positive effect it has before, during and after your labour.
About the founder - Helen Leonard
I am a qualified midwife working at a local NHS maternity unit. I qualified as a midwife in 2004 and in 2009 qualified as a supervisor of midwives. I have a deep-rooted passion to promote and facilitate normal birth; my philosophy is to support all parents-to-be to achieve a positive birth experience.
I developed an interest in the benefits of hypnotherapy during my time as a community midwife, as I witnessed a high number of women achieve a normal birth with shorter and less painful labours and without medical intervention. However, I believe that hypnotherapy has a place even in higher-risk pregnancies and births where a natural vaginal birth may not be an option. This led me to research the unique benefits of hypnosis in relation to pregnancy and child birth.
