Childbirth & Labor Hypnosis
Jenn is certified in Hypnosis for Joyous Childbirth! Unlike HypnoBirthing or HypnoBabies, this program is designed to really meet you where you are. If you are looking for some powerful subconscious tools to have a natural birth, hypnosis can help!
For others, maybe a natural birth, isn’t your top priority, but you would like to make your birth experience as positive and comfortable as possible.
Either way I am here to support you and to get your subconscious mind to support you in having the best birth experience possible! No pressure from me on what you should or shouldn’t do! In fact, I have used hypnosis for both of my pregnancies and births and have big opinions on what some people or pushing out there. You can read my blog about that here.

How Does Hypnosis Actually Work for ChildBirth?
There are a few ways that hypnotherapy can help you have an much more enjoyable and relaxed childbirth. Here are some aspects that I can help you to manage with hypnosis.
Relaxation and pain management: we utilize techniques that promote deep relaxation, which can help reduce anxiety, tension, and discomfort during labor. By inducing a trance-like state, hypnotherapy allows expectant mothers to enter a more calm and focused mindset, making it easier to manage pain.
Positive mindset and visualization: by encouraging positive affirmations and visualization exercises, I will help you to develop a confident and optimistic mindset towards labor and childbirth. Visualizing a smooth and successful birth can enhance feelings of empowerment and reduce fear or apprehension.
Coping with fear and anxiety: Hypnotherapy is great for addressing many fears and anxieties - as well as those related to labor - such as fear of pain or complications. We will explore and address your specific concerns, allowing you to better manage anxiety and promote a more positive birthing experience.
Increasing relaxation and flexibility of the birthing muscles: Hypnotherapy can help to release tension in your bodies, allowing for increased relaxation and flexibility of the birthing muscles. This can facilitate a smoother and more efficient labor process.
Enhancing natural pain relief mechanisms: our goal is to tap into your body's natural pain relief mechanisms, such as the release of endorphins and the activation of the relaxation response. By utilizing hypnosis techniques, we can increase your ability to access these natural resources, which may reduce the need for additional pain management interventions.
It's important to note that hypnotherapy for childbirth and labor should be conducted by a certified hypnotherapist experienced in working with pregnant women. Additionally, it is recommended to involve your healthcare providers and OBGYN throughout the process to ensure comprehensive care.
