Introduction to Blissborn Workshop
$40/couple (support partners encouraged to attend)–nourishment provided
Join us for an introduction to Blissborn with April McEwan, a certified Blissborn® Birth Hypnosis Educator. This workshop is an introduction to Blissborn for you to see what it’s all about as you practice self-hypnosis, a similar experience to meditation—like with meditation, theta brain waves are active in the state of hypnosis. Research shows that hypnosis for birth reduces stress for the mother, partner and baby. Hypnosis brings the body back to a peaceful, resting state called homeostasis and releases endorphins, your natural painkillers.
Blissborn is a 5-week childbirth education course that shows you how to use the power of your own mind to create a blissful birth on your terms. April uses state-of-the-art hypnosis techniques blended with childbirth education to prepare expecting families physically, mentally and emotionally to experience a positive, gentle and empowering birth. As you learn to use self-hypnosis, you will unlock that power for yourself.
*This workshop is not part of the 5-week Blissborn course.
*Optimal starting time for the 5-week course is when the mom is 28 to 32 weeks along, however; any time after 20 weeks is suggested.
*Blissborn for birth course encourages partner involvement; we encourage individuals to bring their birth partner to the introductory workshop.
