Hypnotherapy For Labour Hypnosis, by definition, is simply relaxation plus suggestion. Self-hypnosis is moving into the relaxed state on your own accord. Part of the vehicle or techniques we have created for She Births® self-hypnosis is the use of anchors. An anchor is a technique that is used in NLP and other hypno-modalities. It allows […]

Understanding that you can create up to 30% more space in the pelvis by being off the bed for pushing […]
One of our main jobs as a parent is to tend to our baby’s needs. Human mammals are highly co-dependent for a very long time. Unlike other mammals such as dogs, horses even whales and dolphins etc we are not born and capable of moving around immediately. We do not have the same degree of […]
The fourth trimester is an incredibly important part of our family journey In yoga it is believed that the 40 days of resting postpartum sets us up for the next 40 years of health.

Climate anxiety and eco-depression are very real amongst adults, young children and teens and […]
