April 27th How Can Hypnosis Work for You During Your Birthing Experience?
7pm, film begins at 7:30pm followed by practice session with guest Kathrine Churchill.

Hypnosis is often taught and used in conjunction with other techniques, such as progressive relaxation, mediation, touch, massage, breathing patterns, focal points, guided imagery and music. Advocates of hypnosis recognized that some women may choose to augment with analgesics though the doses required may be lower. Confidence grows in the ability to birth the baby without focusing on pain or the negative stories of others birthing experiences, which are really only the other persons perspective. Research shows that women rate personal control and participation in decision making as important factors influencing their satisfaction with their births. (McCrea & Wright 1999; VandeVusse, 1999)

Katherine is a Master and Certified Hypnotherapist and NLP Practioner with Seabreeze Hypnosis (604) 531-4450 e-mail seabreezehypnosis@shaw.ca
