Hello mum to be my name’s Sue Rowland and I am a nationally registered hypnotherapist, I have been in practice over 18 years and I am accredited with all the professional hypnotherapy bodies.
I first became interested in hypnobirthing after treating many mums to be with things like needle phobia and fear of being sick. I am now an Senior Accredited Hypnobirthing Teacher after training with Katharine Graves Hypnobirthing, leading to certification and professional membership of the Hypnobirthing Association.
As a qualified hypnobirthing teacher and experienced hypnotherapist, I am in the unique position of being able to provide you with support throughout your entire pregnancy and beyond. As well as offering high quality hypnobirthing classes and one-to-one support, as an experienced hypnotherapist I can help mums with other birthing and pregnancy issues and offer support for mums who want to go back to work struggling with confidence and other issues on re-entering the workplace.
Bumps2baby brings together all my personal and professional experience, both as a mother of two and as a woman supporting other women and their partners through their pregnancy journey and beyond. Through hypnobirthing, I am able to help you feel in control during labour and birth by teaching you to trust that your amazing body knows what to do and giving you the skills you need for a gentle positive birth experience for you and your partner.
HypnoBirthing is a highly established and logical birth education programme and often exceeds people's expectations. The classes give you the ante-natal information you need to approach the birth of your baby with confidence and ease and teaches skills such as self-hypnosis, deep relaxation and breathing techniques enabling you to achieve a calm, beautiful and empowering birth!
Hypnobirthing techniques shows you how to work in harmony with your mind and body thereby enabling a more comfortable and gentle birth.
By using Hypnobirthing:
- you are likely to experience a natural, calm and comfortable birth
- you may find that you do not require any additional pain relief
- labour times can be reduced
- you will experience feeling calm and in control
- a calm, natural birth means less intervention and overall, less stress on the body and therefore a speedier recovery
- the father is empowered with a useful role to play from the start helping him to be very much involved when labour begins
- he knows that he too, is a pivotal in the birth of his child
- it allows your baby to enter the world in an atmosphere of calm and gentleness.
The Hypnobirthing course provides you with all the tools, scripts and prompts you will need to be successful in using the techniques at your birth as well as complete antenatal preparation.
Pregnancy and childbirth can be a wonderfully empowering experience that you will carry with you forever… it just may not feel like that right now. This is where I can help.
Prepare for an empowered Birth experience as nature intended. Knowledge is power, you will learn to allow your body to do what it does naturally. You will learn how to work with your body and not against it.
Your baby will experience a calmer entry into the world and your birth partner will experience a sense of empowerment knowing that they played an integral and positive role in baby’s birth.
Hypnobirthing is suitable for those planning a Home or Hospital birth and works well when combined with water birth.
