How is this training different from Hypnobirthing or Calm Birth?
Different techniques are like different flavors of ice cream they reflect their originators background, experiences, and beliefs. There are some basic ingredients and similarities between methods but they can taste very different! The variation of technique that I teach has evolved over the years from my original certification in clinical hypnotherapy in 1993, and in Mongans Hypnobirthing in 1995. Additionally Ive studied other methods of hypnosis for childbirth including; Leclaires, Gail Petersons, and Chantal DeSotos techniques. Those are some of the layers and flavors, and what I teach is most strongly flavored by my experiences with birth. I am a mother and a grandmother. I first became involved in childbirth after giving birth to my daughter, at home with a midwife in 1977, and began apprenticing with a midwife shortly after. In the late 90s I was a midwifes assistant for 2+ years attending numerous births in addition to the births I have attended as a doula. Of the over 235 birth
