HypnoBirthing was such a treat ...
"HypnoBirthing gave me a lot. Including this idea not to push, but simply to listen to my body and my baby, was something that immediately appealed to me because it seemed right and natural.



I am very happy to have taken the classes of HypnoBirthing.
At the beginning of my pregnancy, I didn't think I could give birth without epidural... yet I did it!
HypnoBirthing, taught me to 'breathe' and stay focused during work.

 
The 2 points that helped me:
(1) the concentration remains an essential point during labour, because on that day plenty of new impressions  from the enviroment can be distracting (midwifes questionning, noise in the corridors, conversations between hospital staff...)
(2) Visualising the positive outcome of childbirth, throughout my pregnancy, In class we watched videos of women giving birth in a calm and serene way. That helped me a lot, it didn’t look like anything I have could imagined!Childbirth is easy and natural, no need to get stressed out... Just need to  breathe !
Thank you Heike !  F.A. 26.8.2017
I was born in just 4 hours without epidural...
My name is a. and I am born on this day 8/09/17 at 14 h 22... I assured as a leader with the help of Dad and MOM, but especially with the help of the HypnoBirthing I was born without an epidural and barely 4 h... I suck a little, I rest and Mom too.
Thank you so much for this preparation without you it could never be like this.
Mom and dad send you a kiss you and I'll keep you in mind forever.

Your classes helped me to condition my mind

 
We have had two amazing home births!
The preparation we received from Heike and HypnoBirthing enabled us to have the most amazing gentle birthing experiences in the calm of our own home. Prior to our first birth we took  5 classes with Heike, which gave us the confidence to pursue the most natural and gentle birth possible, wether it be in hospital or at home. Our first son was brought into this world peacefully and naturally and we wanted the same for our second birth, Heike came for a refresher of Hypnobirthing techniques and after a fear release, all anxiety disappeared and we felt confident and excited for our second son to be born peacefully, which he did, three weeks early with great ease and calm.

The midwife was super impressed
A. was born this morning at 5:23.
It wasn't exactly the childbirth described in the videos, we had watched during the classes,  but I managed to labour well until the expulsion, which lasted a little bit too long (1 h). My perineum wouldn't let go. Unfortunately, I had an episio but I just couldn't take it any longer.
The rest of the work was rather fast (beginning of the waves to 19.45, dilation in the bathtub, beginning expulsion at 4 h 15).
My companion was extraordinary. Without him and without your preparation I would have never managed.
The midwife was very impressed.
So she asked for an explanation of the HypnoBirth method.
Thanks again!

I was in my own bubble for 3 hours...
For my second child, I wanted to live the most natural birth possible, with the less "human" intervention.
My husband by my side for this project of birth, we have chosen to give birth at our home. We had the support of a midwife and Heike Taurines, who we welcomed 4 times in our home. With physiological explanations and sessions of profound relaxations, Heike was able to vanish all fears and concerns related essentially to our family and cultural conditioning.
The day of birth was a happy day to live this experience! Everything happened naturally, without apprehension, no stress. This inner calm even surprised me. I was in my own bubble for 3 hours, I breathed as advised, in deep connection with my “loulou”, who seemed to participate "actively" during his passage.
I keep the memory of a birth in the calm and confidence, confidence in my innate ability to give birth and the baby to guide me. E. weighed 4 pounds, was all pink and quiet at his arrival. I had no physical sequelae and physical sensations have been strong (but quite bearable) after the opening of the cervix.
It was a magical moment, without fear, and I think that the hypnosis sessions were very profitable. Thank you sooo much !.
I "watched" my body  doing its job naturally with confidence and the midwife has been perfect.
My son came out in about 2h30 (the length of labour I determined during hypnosis), between 8 h (first wave that I felt every 3 minutes) and 10h30.
I did the surge breathing slowly until it became more painful around 9h30 and than the midwife gave me very good suppourt for the last hour. I didn't think anymore of taking  long breaths. I gave birth lying on the right side.
Testimony on 23/4/2016 V.V.
It was the happiest day of our lives...
Childbirth lasted 9 hours without any medical intervention (no epidural, oxytocin, no episiotomy). The baby weighed 3 pounds and was 48cm.
I screamed a lot during childbirth, but I think it was rather psychological, because it relieved me, it felt good, it was cathartic. All of the "exercises" HypnoBirthing helped me to stay confident, strong and very patient during my labor, my baby was born almost without crying, all quiet and in love. My companion also managed to stay very calm and confident next to me thanks to the techniques he learned; several times during the labour he practiced the  "anchor" of the HypnoBirthing technique on me.
It was the happiest day of our lives.
Even after the baby was born I continued to practice breathing "ball" and it calms us both, baby and me. I'm very in love with her, I love my new life as a mother.
Your teaching and the HypnoBirthing methodes allowed us to have the birth that we had planned.
Again, thank you.
"... I think that HypnoBirthing has really helped me in managing my labour and delivery, and more generally speaking I feel that my baby was already rocked on a cloud of gentelness during my pregnancy... It was as if HypnoBirthing had finally ensured a transition between the soft intra-uterin world  and the open air... He came out gently without screaming, there were no physical marks on him, and his calmness was very spectacular... and  still is today.
If iI should have a third child, I would definitely want to have the same experience!

"... What helped me most during my home birth was the silence, the presence of my companion and the midwife, the freedom of movement, the absence of pressure from the medical staff...

My companion asked me regularly to change positions :  get out of the water or any other suggestions. I turned to the left side, one leg resting on the edge of the tub. I modified my breathing to "breath" my baby down. In this posture, I felt the movements of the baby to the rhythm of the waves, the discomfort was gone, I felt that I was finally birthing our baby into this world! With each wave, with every breath, I felt him coming...
The hospital staff was respectful of our choices, the midwife was delicate and considerate. I wish all future parents to live a moment such as this.
It was magic...
Hypno-birth has allowed me to create a unique link with my husband, who was able to find his own  proper place for my delivery. He applied what he learned in hypno-birth:  he gave me comfort, confidence and above all he put me into a deep relaxation. His calm and loving care helped me to birth and to feel the waves as an intensity of life and no longer as pain. It was magical.
Thank you.

The HypnoBirthing allowed me to stay calm and serene...

HypnoBirthing helped a lot to be in the best conditions during pregnancy. Mother and baby were in good shape during childbirth. The beginning of labour was relatively easy, I was optimistic and relaxed. Then the pain became more intense and difficult to manage. It was not so easy to apply the techniques under the circumstances. However, I was happy to have managed about 10 hours of labour naturally, in connection with the baby, without any particular intervention . Only at the end, I felt that the process was "blocked" and I was exhausted. I had the relief of the epidural and birth phase  was "classic."  I enjoyed 2-3 hours  skin to skin.

"As I discovered this method at the end of my pregnancy, I followed only 2 classes of HypnoBirthing, which allowed me after all to deal with my experience of childbirth in a very relaxed way. I listened to  the script of the "Rainbow Relaxation" and I also used the breathing techniques.
"Although I had a great experience giving birth and I keep an excellent memory, I have to admit that more study and practice of HypnoBirthing would have created stronger confidence!"

What a beautiful initiation it is  to give life !
Barely in the room I started to want to push. A. joined me and I didn't le go of him any more. I was somewhere else. I didn't notice any more what was going on around me, I saw only A. The midwife, who escorted us, was very sympathetic. She took the time to read our birth plan, iand dimmed the lights on her own. There was no one else in the room, she just made adjustments for the catheter on my wrist and helped me to deliver on my side, in the position I had adopted. I could feel the expulsion and I accompanied the descent of the baby while exhaling slowly.
Everything went very quickly and then the baby came from inside of my belly to outside of my belly. I. was born at 00:59. He plunged his big eyes into mine and we stayed like this, the three of us,  the time to get acquainted.
Despite a small period of doubt, everything went as we had imagined and even better! We had an amazing experience. As a couple, it was beautiful to live. I couldn't lived this  without  A .,  without our complicity and our privacy. I got the chance to be accompanied and guided by a midwife, practitioner humanistic health and  a  friend and a hypno therapist friend. These two women gave us another conception of childbirth.
From the beginning of pregnancy I was in connection with I.; I explained my emotions, my feelings so that he did't feel responsible for them. I was able to give up the idea of fear and of pain associated with childbirth. I also worked on my own birth, my fears, and released some cell memories.

My husband and I stayed completly empowerd during birth...
When I learned about my pregnancy we asked Heike, who we had met a few months ago, to teach us the methods  of HypnoBirthing . We dreamed of a respectful delivery preferably at home. We knew we would give birth to a wonderful little girl and also to give birth to a new 'us' as parents...
The body knows exactly what it has to do. During the five classes, we were able to communicate with our baby, loose our fears and our concerns about childbirth, to understand the natural process, take a step back and reconnect to our being. Thanks to this environmentally friendly practice, we were able to learn, my husband and myself, cope with the contractions called "waves" in HypnoBirthing. Also, we felt listened to and supported in our choices and our beliefs. This helped us to remain confident in our project, aware that it is possible, as it is happening everywhere in the world to give birth at home, in the calm, joy and intimacy.
Finally, our daughter was considered as a too small baby, and we had to go to the hospital.
My husband and I stayed empowerd during the birth, our daughter was born quickly almost without pain and fears. Thanks to Heike. We are really grateful for allowing us this reconnection to ourselves – and to our family.

"I am mother of 2 boys, born vaginally in a hospital,
The two births were painful, because  as soon as I felt the contractions coming up, I stressed and contracted my body. For my third child I really wanted something else. I looked for a long time and I've heard of the HypnoBirthing; I had already done sessions of  hypnosis  that had helped me manage my stress so I wanted to give it a go. The more my pregnancy progressed, the more I wanted to choose my own way to birth my baby, and I knew that the hospital (close to our home) in which I had to give birth, didn't  consider the wishes of the mom...My dream was to give birth in water, so with my husband we decided to have the baby at home. With HypnoBirthing classes, I felt confident.
I talked to my daughter of all these choices that I was doing for her.
Unfortunately I couldn't give birth at home, and in addition to that I had a c-section because the baby was big and badly positioned, but the   c-section went well, although before that I was very afraid of it, the sessions of hypnosis had helped me to relax.
I was even in early labour when I entered the block, and I have never suffered because of my breathing, the medical staff did not believe I was starting labour... And when my daughter arrived, I discovered that baby all quiet and peaceful, and I felt a connection to her, which I did not feel  for my other children. It's the same for my husband.
It's wonderful and those sessions will still help me further in my every day life and especially in my relationship with my children. I highly recommend HypnoBirthing to all mothers, even if they may not be able to have a natural birth,  like me..."

"Thank you for bringing the serenity to us through HypnoBirthing and also to have encouraged us to communicate with our baby. Even if the birth  did not happen at all as shown in the  HypnoBirthing videos, because each woman, baby, be is different... it gave us a new insight of pregnancy  and a gentil birth experience for the three of us... ."

She calms with the CD of HypnoBirthing...
K. was 4 months yesterday and she is a  Sun, my  Sun, she is smiling with her eyes and lips  allmost  the whole day, she is quiet and very awake, curious, she learns very fast! Now she suffers because of teeth , but you know that when she screams and nothing will help, I let her listen to  the Hypnobirthing CD and she calms down and sleeps  like a little angel. It's nice to see that the exercises I did for myself that  still have  effects on her, it makes me feel better in my role as a mom.

We have changed our perception of childbirth...
Before I followed the HypnoBirthing program I was quite "traumatised" about the idea of giving birth, because of  the experiences of my mother on the one hand and those of some of my friends on the other hand. My husband was afraid to be helpless and he saw this "only" as a horrible ordeal, that the woman had to overcome ...
Through the HypnoBirthing we managed to change our perception of childbirth and to consider it as something natural that I was made for. We changed to a positiv understanding of  this event, freeing ourselves from our fears has enabled us to experience a beautiful birth. It was a wonderful moment of complicity between my husband and me ...
