Peaceful Birthing
Peaceful Birthing is a philosophy and attitude. It is about respecting the mom and the baby from before conception, through pregnancy, birthing and beyond.
Peaceful Birthing comes from implementing a variety of modalities that enhance and contribute to a positive birthing experience. It is about establishing a connection 
with your baby’s spirit.
Peaceful Birthing is about the mind-body link. Imagery, hypnosis, visualization all contribute to the well being of the baby and the mother. Learning to be close to our baby’s spirit guides our actions and choices for birthing.
The body and mind work together with many systems of the body. Your mind is connected to the endocrine (hormone), immune, and autonomic nervous system, which governs all of our activities. The autonomic nervous system is sub-divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Hypnosis allows for the Parasympathetic System to help calm your body. The Sympathetic System is the Stress System, and it needs to be quieted.
