Individual/couple sessions are now an option...

Since completing my Clinical Hypnotherapy Diploma in 2023 I have new options available to you: 

​

There are great benefits of one on one sessions with me (or two on one should your birthing companion/partner wish to join you), you will still gain all the knowledge and the amazing empowering hypnobirthing techniques you require for your baby's birthing day and beyond, and I can tailor the sessions to your individual needs to make them more intimate and personal. Seeing me one to one means I can also use extra hypnotherapy techniques if you have any particular fears, anxieties or phobias you wish to work through.

 

Two options available: 

• 2 x 3 hour sessions where you will learn all about the body, the mind and how they work together, plus be taught the necessary breathing tools and relaxation techniques for your pregnancy and baby's birthing day and beyond. Cost is $450. 
   

• 3 x 2.5 hour sessions where you will learn all about the body, the mind and how they work together, where you will release fears and anxieties and be able to go into a deeper level for your birth, plus be taught the necessary breathing and relaxation tools and techniques for your pregnancy and baby's birthing day and beyond. Cost $560

 

For individual sessions I work Monday to Friday, 9.30 - 2.00pm, I have a beautiful calming space to work in at my home in Papamoa, however if you are a Tauranga local I am happy to come to you. I can also run these sessions online via Zoom if you are further away and would prefer an online option. If you are interested in doing hypnobirthing please do get in touch, I would love to work with you one on one to guide and empower you on this wonderful parenting journey, sophie@loveyourbirth.co.nz or 021 322 634.

GROUP CLASS DATES FOR 2024...

As of April 2024 I am taking a little break from group sessions however if the demand is there I will quite happily organise one, I just need a minimum of 4 couples to do so, so if a group sessions is what you are after then please do either email or call to enquire and we will see what we can arrange.

​

 

What you will learn...​

• Relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques to eliminate the fear and tension that cause long labour and unnecessary levels of pain, replacing them with confidence, calm and comfort.

• Special breathing techniques for relaxation, labour and birth.

• Visualisation to produce a shorter, more comfortable labour.

• Mindfulness techniques to maximise your ability to stay focussed, calm and feeling in control.

• Birthing Affirmations to build confidence and to help you look forward to giving birth.

• Massage to release endorphins.

• Fear Release to overcome any concerns you may have about giving birth and parenting.

• To build confidence and trust in yourself and how to listen to and work with your baby and your body.

• How the mother’s body is designed to work in neuromuscular harmony with nature throughout labour.

• To practice deep relaxation during and between uterine surges.

• The importance of prenatal and perinatal bonding.

​

Each ‘in-person’ course includes: 

• the comprehensive guide for all kiwi couples –  Positive Birth in NZ book, using relaxation, hypnobirthing and mindfulness

• 14 relaxation audios + Free Positive Birth Preparation hypnosis script (exclusive to Positive Birth couples only) 

• your own folder full of scripts, information and handouts

• a set of beautiful affirmation cards

• 12.5 hours of tuition with Sophie (qualified in both the original HypnoBirthing Marie Mongan method and Positive Births (New Zealand) method plus 8 years of experience teaching the courses (and 2 beautiful births!)

• This is for you and a birth companion should you wish to bring one - so bring 'your person' the one who will be with you through labour (partner, spouse, family member, friend). Or come by yourself and enjoy the you time!

• ongoing additional support  via phone, online via Zoom or email. If any unexpected curve balls arise after your course, you’re still supported.

• refreshments, and light snacks

• Free access to additional recorded scripts for: placenta previa, breech baby, avoiding induction etc.

​

Your investment is $465.00 per couple for group classes (payment plan options available). Private Sessions are available upon request. Zoom Sessions are available if you are not located nearby, are sick or cannot make classes for some reason.

​

All Positive Birth Hypnobirthing Classes are taught in a format of five, 2 1/2-hour classes. Class sizes are kept to a maximum of 5 couples, so book early to ensure your place in the class.

​

If you would like to book in for any of these courses or for one later in the year please email your interest to me at sophie@loveyourbirth.co.nz or call me direct on 021 322 634. It's best to start classes between 20 - 32 weeks pregnant to give yourself enough time to soak in the new knowledge and practice techniques; to allow for the 5 weekly sessions book as early possible.  Private classes and online classes are also available on request.  Feel free to call or email me with any questions or to discuss fees, dates and times etc.

​

Note: Please be aware we may need to change your course dates if we don’t have a minimum of 3 couples at each course.
