Gentle Birth Choices - And HypnoBirthing Training

Kathy Welter is a  Certified HypnoBirthing Educator, Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP & DHE, Kathy Welter-Nichols, has both trained and attended births in the lower mainland over the past three years, birthing with Midwives, OB/GYN, Water Birth, in the quiet homes of her parents and in many of the hospitals of the lower mainland and the interior of BC.

She is both skilled and adept at guiding parents through the birthing world they find themselves in today.

Her course NLP: A Birth Model for Change, offers insights for both practitioners and parents alike, key information that helps one look at what is going right in birth today, rather than what can go wrong.  Eliminating fear, tension and pain and giving a mother and father the keys to managing their birth experience, Kathy guides them beyond "natural birth" into the zone of a Magical Birth!

Upcoming training in this program will be posted on the Events Calendar

All you will need in preparation for the birth. As Post Partum Doula and Labour Support Doula, she is also skilled in attending women during and directly after the birth, as well and helping moms who exhibit signs of Post Partum Depression.

What you will learn through HypnoBirthing: This is a five part series of sessions conducted ideally through the last five months of your pregnancy. If there is no time to complete the HypnoBirthing training, Kathy can offer mothers alternative sessions to assist during the birth, as well as attending the birth as Birth Labour Support Doula.

HypnoBirthing offers a wide variety of excellend tools that will create skills that last the mother long past the birth experience. Babies are calmer, and the wonderful CD's that come with this course the mother can use during nursing and to help her recover from lack of sleep during the first weeks of baby's life.

About HypnoBirthing:

The HypnoBirthing Childbirth method is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. HypnoBirthing teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. You will learn to call upon your body’s own natural anesthesia and thus lessen or eliminate discomfort and the need for medication. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same will-designed manner that it does with all other creatures.

You will be fascinated as you view HypnoBirthing films showing laboring mothers, awake, alert and in good humor as they experience the kind of gentle birth that you, too, can know when you are free of the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome.

HypnoBirthing teaches you to release all prior programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain-causing fear and unyielding muscles.

HypnoBirthing will teach you the art of using your own natural birthing instincts. With HypnoBirthing, you will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.

"I love the philosophy; I love the instructor’s teaching manner. Thanks to HypnoBirthing and the support I received, my baby’s birth was wonderful. I was confident and free of fear."
