Who is this hypnosis for: If you are a soon-to-be mom who has taken the decision to go for a natural birth, this hypnosis is for you. It will make your mind a strong ally of your body, supporting it towards a smooth delivery and an easy recovery afterwards. How it works: You might have full-heartedly embraced the idea of a natural birth, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you made peace with that nagging voice inside: "but will my body raise to the situation?". It is normal to feel nervous about a birth.

Für wen ist diese Hypnose geeignet: Wenn Sie werdender Vater sind und bereits wissen, dass Sie während der Geburt im Kreißsaal an der Seite Ihrer Partnerin sein werden, dann wird Ihnen diese Hypnose nützlich sein. Sie wird Sie dabei unterstützen, Ihre Nervosität oder Angst abzubauen, sodass Sie bei diesem besonderen Anlass entspannt und unterstützend sein können.

Für wen ist diese Hypnose geeignet: Wenn Sie eine werdende Mutter sind, die sich für eine natürliche Geburt entschieden hat, dann wird Ihnen diese Hypnose nützlich sein.

Und so funktioniert es: Sie mögen die Idee einer natürlichen Geburt von ganzem Herzen angenommen haben, aber das bedeutet nicht unbedingt, dass Sie mit dieser nörgelnden Stimme in Ihrem Inneren Frieden geschlossen haben: "Aber wird mein Körper der Situation standhalten?".
