Hypno-birthing Course with Katrina Kurdy

Birth should be something we look forward to, a beautiful bridge to parenthood, yet as the day approaches we may realise there is so much we don't know about our bodies or birth. We may discover (or already know well) fears and worries within us. I am here to remind you: you are powerful, your body is incredible, and every birth is beautiful. I'll share this confidence with you by teaching you about the physiology of your incredible body (your nervous system, your hormones, your anatomy) and how you can positively affect these natural systems to help your body birth more comfortably (and what might inhibit them). I'll remind you of your power by acknowledging the choices you may come across in pregancy and birth so you feel informed and in control of your experience however it unfolds. If you have a birth partner, they'll become an integral part of the experience as well, and you’ll work together in a way that can be truly bonding and deeply comforting to both of you, and if not or they're not able to join, I'll be there to support you. A healthy baby is one of the most important things, but I believe that equal importance should be placed on how you feel during and after birth which can have a big impact on your feelings toward birth, your mental health and/or your bond with your baby. The whole of your experience from beginning to end should be considered and caring. My passion is to not just teach you the practices of hypnobirthing, but to answer all of your questions and explain HOW it works. We cannot reap the full benefits of something we don’t completely understand. Not every birth is straightforward, but I do believe hypnobirthing can help everyone feel calmer and have a more comfortable pregnancy and birth.
