About
Birth Nurture is a Yoga Retreat Centre located in Leigh on Sea, New Zealand. It is a place where expectant mothers can come to receive specialised classes and workshops to prepare for childbirth and nurture their bodies and minds during pregnancy. The centre focuses on offering services that cater to the changing needs of pregnant women and aims to empower them during this transformative time in their lives.
One of the main classes offered at Birth Nurture is Natal Hypnotherapy. This technique, also known as hypnobirthing, was developed by Maggie Howell, a clinical hypnotherapist and mother of five. Natal Hypnotherapy teaches mothers deep relaxation, effective breathing techniques, and tools for releasing fears surrounding birth. It aims to promote a calm and instinctive birth process while ensuring a comfortable and healthy pregnancy.
Birth partners are also encouraged to attend the classes to learn how to be confident and supportive during the birthing process.
What sets Natal Hypnotherapy apart from other hypnobirthing methods is its exclusive development in the UK. It has been tailored to suit the UK maternity system and is aligned with the language and practises commonly used in hospitals and birth centres. The workshops offered at Birth Nurture are accredited by the Royal College of Midwives and are supported by various NHS trusts. This method of hypnosis for birth is recommended by over 3000 birth professionals and has received awards for its effectiveness.
In addition to Natal Hypnotherapy, Birth Nurture also offers NCT antenatal classes and yoga for pregnancy. These classes provide expectant couples with a comprehensive understanding of the birthing process and empower them to make informed decisions that best suit their preferences. The yoga classes focus on gentle exercises and stretches that promote relaxation, flexibility, and strength during pregnancy.
Birth Nurture is run by Lisa Wrobel, a qualified and experienced antenatal educator. Lisa holds a Diploma in Antenatal Education from the University of Bedfordshire and is fully insured through FEDANT. She believes wholeheartedly in a woman's ability to birth a baby and emphasises the importance of informed decision-making. Her goal is to provide parents-to-be with the knowledge and support they need to confidently navigate their birth experience.
At Birth Nurture, expectant mothers and their partners can find a supportive and nurturing environment to prepare for the birth of their baby. With a focus on education, empowerment, and relaxation, Birth Nurture aims to ensure that every woman has the resources and confidence to have a positive and fulfilling birth experience.
