If You Can't Envision It, How Can You Achieve It?
Have you ever made a vision board?
This is something I totally did when I was growing up. Cut out pictures or words I liked and put them up on my bulletin board.
In HypnoBirthing we teach women to do the same for their birth. Positive affirmations. Words that evoke happy and empowering thoughts about birth. Images that create positive visions about birth.
Practice is Everything
Do you have time to watch TV? Do you have time to scroll FB? Then you have time to practice.
You are NOT Setting Yourself Up for Disapointment
Some people may say, be careful, you can’t plan these things, so don’t set yourself up for disappointment.
This could not be further from the truth. Do we know how your birth will play out? No. Does that mean you can’t dream big? No.

Who supported you in labor? Who is going to be with you when you have your baby?
My husband was more than just there hoping it was all going to go well.
Considering an Unmedicated Birth?
Here are some questions I want you to consider. Believing in birth is a great first step.
Have you heard of Stalled Labor?
Did you experience stalled labor? How did that play out for you? Learn here why in HypnoBirthing we call it resting labor.
Six years ago today I went into labor with my sweet baby girl who entered this world with a vengeance! Her labor involved 12 hours of resting labor. Here is how it played out...
Induction Massage
Does an induction massage really work? Yes and No.
Like all other means of natural induction, if your body and baby aren’t ready, then it will not work.
However, if your body is on the cusp of labor it could send it over the edge and get things going!
What big event in your life did you say, I will just see how it goes.
Think about a huge event in your life. A big presentation at work that could result in a huge promotion. Your wedding day. Running a marathon.
What do all of those things have in common? Planning, Preparation, Practice.
Postpartum Massage
You hear so much how self care is important after you have a baby.
A postpartum massage can be so helpful. As you see in the picture below of the loving embrace that creates a raised shoulder. A loving gaze that results in a forward and tilted neck. So many things effect our bodies those first weeks, months and really years.
