My inspiration to become a natural childbirth educator/Hypnobirthing teacher comes from my own birthing experience. After my wonderful, natural, pain-free and drug-free Hynobirthing experience, I wanted my friends and fellow women to experience the same joy and bliss of natural birth. I did my diploma in HypnoBirthing from the Hypnobirthing Centre UK (the KG method) accredited by the Royal College of Midwives, UK. I am a science graduate with a Masters Degree in Applied Microbiology which helps me understand the biology behind birthing. I also hold a Diploma in Nutrition. I hail from the corporate world of scientific publishing like Thomson Reuters & BioMed Central (Springer). I am well aware of the corporate culture; the work life and personal life balance for parents-to-be. I have designed my courses to accommodate these practical challenges of the day to day living. I am working hard to ensure every woman across the globe is made aware of this calm, safe, comfortable and delightful birthing experience for herself and her baby.
Becoming pregnant is a gift and to give birth naturally, is a bliss. If you are gifted, it is your right to experience this bliss through Hypnobirthing. Hypnobirthing is all about awareness of the birthing process, positive thinking, breathing techniques, relaxation and visualisations. This practice helps you to stay calm, relaxed and fully in control of your mind and body while introducing your baby to our world. Hypnobirthing will help you make informed decisions whichever turn your birth takes. Hypnobirthing goes above and beyond a delightful birthing experience. It helps the mother produce plenty of milk for the baby, creates great bonding between the parents & the baby. Above all, Hypnobirthing techniques involve the father throughout the birthing process that boosts confidence and gives immense strength for both the mum- and dad-to-be.
I was mildly curious about hypnobirthing and was equally skeptical about its veracity. I met Sripadma online, and started chatting with her about the course. Her persistence and sincere care towards the progress of my pregnancy attracted me to her and I took up a hypnobirthing class. She had specifically tailor made the class to suit my needs. My husband who was very skeptical about the technique was convinced within one hour of the class. Padma was a very effective counsellor/teacher and we thoroughly enjoyed the hypnobirthing session we had with her. She was very passionate and I must confess that more than the course material, her conviction is what made me trust the process. She also shared her labour video and I was stunned by how she was smiling throughout her contractions and how she truly had a pleasing birth experience as hypnobirthing claims. Her association did not just end with the course but she continued to support me as my pregnancy progresses by consistently enquiring about my progress. I finally had a fairly easy four hour labour and delivered normally without any pain relief. My doctor and nurses were surprised how calm and composed I was throughout the process. I could not follow a few things as per my birth plan because the hospitals in India are rather rigid in the way they conduct their process , yet I was able to maintain my cool and had a smooth delivery. - Charanya-Vikram, Chennai
From the beginning we were awestruck by Padma's passion for HypnoBirthing. We live in a different country. So we did an online course through video conferencing. She was kind enough to make herself available for the training even at odd hours. We started the course as late as the 33rd week into pregnancy and our son was born in the 38th. In spite of the time crunch, we could practice most of the relaxation and breathing techniques. It helped us not only through the 10 hours of labour, but also during the retraction of the uterus after childbirth. I would highly recommend Padma's HypnoBirthing techniques to all my friends. Her in-depth knowledge will help any expectant parent sail through the pregnancy with ease. - Renuka-Sudeep, USA
