Daisy Birthing® Antenatal Sessions in SolihullWe are delighted to welcome mum of two and HypnoBirthing teacher Liz to our Daisy Birthing® team. Liz will be launching our popular weekly antenatal classes which embrace principals of active birth, alongside birth relaxation, throughout Solihull B91 and B93 in late Spring 2012. In our opinion, she is an excellent addition to our antenatal teaching team. In Liz's own words:- " I have a passion for pregnancy and birth and a desire to support and help women through the most amazing and life changing experience of their lives. I became pregnant with my first child at the age of 27 and was so terrified of what lay ahead of me for the next 9 months (and beyond) that I began reading all I could about pregnancy and birth. I tried to empowered myself with knowledge and felt more in control. I had a fear that the pain of childbirth would be so great that I would not cope and would need all the drugs going. This was not an avenue I was willing to pursue so I scoured the internet and came across hypnosis for birth and immersed myself in the philosophy and technique. My beautiful daughter was born on the 31st August 2007 and although I did require intervention and she was delivered with forceps, I fulfilled my desire not to have drugs and felt relatively in control for most of the labour. The moral of the story is that despite the complications, I knew it was possible to birth easily and safely and that I would achieve it next time round! On 9th December 2009 I gave birth to my gorgeous son with whom I achieved the most wonderful calm, drug free, intervention free birth I had desired! As with my daughter the support from my Birthing Companion (my husband) was the foundation of my success. I was home from hospital the same day and felt fantastic.
These two experiences and my continued interest in pregnancy, labour, birth and babies inspired me to train as a HypnoBirthing Practitioner in April 2011. In essence, I believe that natural, drug free birth is possible for every healthy, low risk woman if that is what she truly desires. However, all women should be allowed to birth in the manner that she wants. Women need to be supported in their choices and feel empowered by the knowledge/information they receive from their peers or antenatal educators. I want to be part of something that is accessible to all pregnant women, so that women from all walks of life can achieve the birth that they want. I believe Daisy Birthing® can really make a difference to women and how they perceive pregnancy, labour and birth. The attitudes, concepts and techniques involved in Daisy Birthing® along with the low costs (to pregnant women) are the factors that make it accessible to all pregnant women. This sets it apart from other programmes."
Weekly antenatal classes will begin with Liz circa May 2012. However, it is never too soon to pre-register your interest and you can view Liz's profile here.
