My name is Lucy Shutes; I bring my deep experience as a hypnobirthing practitioner as well as my skill and knowledge as a qualified nurse and birth doula. You will learn Katherine Graves Hypnobirthing techniques which will help you relax and keep focused during the birth of your baby.
I will show you how to use self-hypnosis to relax, and zone into your labour, along with your partner. This is whether you are planning a vaginal birth or a gentle caesarian section.
I am currently offering classes via ZOOM as it is straight forward and easy to use. I just send you an email before the start of each session and you log on with a unique password. All you need is a lap-top, or a desk top and a comfy sofa.
In the comfort of your home anywhere in the world, focused and engaging sessions, at a time to suit you.
I have found that shorter sessions of 1-1.5 hours are better and it means we see more of each other throughout your pregnancy, as new things can crop up, information changes and options become available.

My course will cover and include for example:
Breathing techniques.
Massages including Rebozo,
Focus on individual needs and or concerns, or specific requirements unique to you and your pregnancy,
Labour unfolding,
Evidence based information,
Relaxations,
Including a 3-step rewind session Birth Trauma if this is needed,
Tapping, EFT,
The 4th Trimester,
A scheduled Zoom session once your baby is born to chat about how things went, and to offer any feeding support.
Taught over 1 - 1.5 hour sessions and spaced throughout your pregnancy, in an informal and restful environment learning life-skills at such a momentous and exciting time in your lives.
I recommend starting your hypnobirthing course around about your 23/24th week of pregnancy. This allows time to fix up dates into your pregnancy which are evenly spaced, but within sight of your 'guess dates'. This means you can really focus on the practise and benefit from the result. It will take daily practise to establish the trust and belief in yourself to enable the 'switch off' button when you go into labour. The daily practise will become like cleaning your teeth, the more you do it, the more you will want to do it as you feel the positive changes happening in you, around you and for your baby.
It is always possible to tailor-make a Hypnobirthing course to suit you and your life style, so just contact me for a chat about your particular situation.

"Personal and exclusive tuition, inspiring and thought provoking. Lucy is a centred woman who awakens confidence and self belief in pregnant women and their partners". Stephanie.
