BIRTHREADY WITH HYPNOSIS
Mindful birthing is an effective process to help create positive and lasting change in a persons life. As your Mindfulness and birth hypnosis practitioner, I am your guide in the process of understanding how your mind can influence natural birth and what you can do to work with it in a positive and empowering way.
Just as a personal trainer teaches a client how to improve peak body performance, I guide you (and your partner/birth team) in learning and practicing deep relaxation, mindfulness, focus, imagination, helpful breathing and more. We address limiting beliefs, unhelpful habits, stress and fear so you can feel more confident, calm, safe and in control.
Receive one-on-one support, an information folder, education, practice, relaxation cds, scripts and other resources.
Erika provided my partner and I with grounded strength and knowledge leading up to and during our birth.

Erika played a vital part in our birth experience and we will be forever thankful for her love and support.

Before becoming pregnant I was always a little nervous about the birth process, especially episiotomy! I had never imagined myself getting through it without drugs.
My husband Phil had told me a little bit about Doula’s and how they can help with the fears surrounding birth and the preparation. So I searched and found Erika. She was very easy to talk to and even in the first conversation started to make me feel more relaxed.
The Hypobirth part of our preparation was really important for me to slow down my mind and stop thinking about the negative stories I had heard and read about birth. This allowed me to experience my birth as a natural easy process. Learning about the perineal/internal massage was also great and got me to understand my body better and start to experience birth sensations as empowering. Over time I become excited about birth and in fact the birth was more managable than I imagined. Thanks Erika, I will be recommending you to all my friends.
