Peaceful Birthing

 

HypnoBirthing® Fertility Therapy

 
I had the pleasure of working with Pat as she took us through her HypnoFertility program.
Amazingly, I became pregnant that first month!
Our success story alone is a wonderful recommendation. Beyond that, Pat is supportive and reassuring. The techniques she taught us helped us to stay positive and peaceful. Pat eased our journey and I would highly recommend her to anyone!  Alissa, January 2007

Pat has a special interest in the psychosocial aspect of Fertility Issues.  She works with clients to help decrease stress, resolve emotional issues associated with fertility and medical fertility treatments, and set the state for a successful conception. HypnoBirthing® Fertility Therapy is a series of individual therapy sessions working with a woman and her partner to learn how to enhance fertility and conception. This is an opportunity to learn relaxation techniques, and explore the issues that sometimes prevent pregnancy, and increase the woman's chances of the pregnancy she desires.

Therapy sessions are tailored for each client, based on the individual needs of the families. The initial interview helps to identify areas that can be changed, and a care plan is established based on identified factors.  Hypnosis techniques empower women to feel confident, successful and hopeful. Three factors contribute to this success: a willingness to be hypnotized, a desire to discuss and understand the process, and the ability to follow simple instructions.
A very real concern for many people is the inability to conceive a baby. Each year, more than a million North Americans pursue treatment for "infertility." Most consult conventional doctors--an infertility workup is conducted--and depending on diagnosis--drugs or high-tech procedures such as IVF are recommended. Great strides have been made recently in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).
A range of medical options are available, however, despite the progress that has been made in the treatment of "infertility," the success rate for those who undergo high-tech procedures is currently about 20%. Increase your Chances: It is as simple as that. Studies indicate that “infertile” women utilizing mind/body techniques have a 42-55% conception rate as compared to 20 % for those not using mind/body therapies. To boost this success rate and have the very best chance of conception, women are seeking out complementary treatments such as acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal remedies, and mind/body approaches.
One of the most powerful of these is hypnotherapy. Hypnosis goes beyond simple guided imagery, and working with a skilled hypnotherapist following the guidelines of this program increases the odds of conception, and also enhances overall health.  You have made the emotional, physical and financial commitment to conceive a child, and you deserve the highest possible chance of success. Hypnotherapy transforms the fear and frustration you are feeling, providing you with tools that enable you to achieve the relaxation and confidence necessary for a calm, peaceful, positive and viable pregnancy. HypnoBirthing HypnoFertility therapy is especially helpful for families that are dealing with ‘unexplained infertility’. 
Learning techniques of relaxation and self-awareness provide families with insights about their unique situations, and frequently different levels of healing take place. Hypnotherapy can reduce stress, increase confidence, instill a sense of control and hope, which in turn will enable you to maximize your chances of conceiving naturally and/or increase the success of medical assistance.
Worry= Negative self-hypnosis: The negative self-talk you allow in your mind about the challenges you may be experience, repetitive patterns and/or other difficulties can cause great stress and anxiety.  When you become so worried that you allow a negative inner mind state to take over, you begin to realize the self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.
Hypnotherapy = Positive Change: Hypnotherapy transforms the fear and frustration you are feeling, providing you with tools that enable you to achieve the relaxation and confidence necessary for a calm, peaceful, positive and viable pregnancy.
