The benefits of hypnobirthing classes

Marygrace Anderson is now offering hypnobirthing classes at The Putney Clinic of Physical Therapy.

The benefits of hypnobirthing include:

• Manage any discomfort through powerful breathing techniques. 
• Reduces fear, tension and discomfort, thus naturally increasing discomfort threshold. 
• Learn relaxation techniques that will help your body to work the way it is designed to. 
• Learn how to put yourself in control of your birth, rather than blindly turning your birthing experience over to your doctor or midwife. 
• Less medication and chemical anaesthesia is needed as muscles thin and open easily. 
• Hypnosis shortens the first stage of delivery by approximately 3 – 4 hours for mother's delivering their babies. For subsequent deliveries, it is not unusual for them to be as quick as 60 - 120 minutes long. 
• Learn visualisation techniques that can help your body to do what it wants to do.
• Allow your mind and body to work together in harmony. 
• Experience the pleasures of birth rather than the negative experiences you may have heard from others. 
• Release worries and concerns you may have about birth. 
• Enables mother to go into "hypnotic relaxation" if unable to sleep between feeds. 
• Raises resistance to fatigue during delivery thus minimizing maternal exhaustion. 
• Encourages the production of milk. Decreases "post natal blues" and speeds up recovery.
• Use the endorphin release to increase your body's natural anaesthetic; a much safer option than relying on pharmaceuticals and other drugs.

New Year, new you

By Marygrace Anderson

New year, new you? Yeah right, but maybe, just maybe.

It didn't happen last year or the year before, but that is the point. Why didn't it? Well, I can tell you... The answer is you didn't really want it. Sorry, I meant to say you didn't REALLY want it in the way you need to commit to change. The missing link, the desire was just not there. How do I know? I've been there and failed. Now I have been there and succeeded.

My life changing moment happened seven years ago. I walked into a hypnotherapist's office seeking help to quit smoking. I am well-educated, strong-willed, very aware of the dangers of smoking and had the greatest motivation to stop, a new baby. (I had stopped throughout the pregnancy but went back to it).

I loved the experience so much I trained to become a certified hypnotherapist. I wanted to be able to change people's lives for the better and it is now what I do for a living. Now, I am presented with sceptics for sleep difficulties, confidence, phobias, weight loss, smoking and various other issues and - in a nice way - proved them wrong too. The nice thing about all of these people is they do have what I had and just needed a little help. They reached the point of desire to change. My role is to help make this desire happen with them.

Hypnotherapy is a treatment that uses hypnosis to alter the way you feel or change aspects of your life that need improving. Hypnosis is a perfectly natural condition that we experience every day of our lives, like daydreaming. We drift in and out of a hypnotic state all day long without being aware of it. Under hypnosis, we are capable of making amazing changes to our thinking patterns and unlocking unlimited potential to improve and transform our lives.

We discuss what you want to improve or change. Then we agree the goals and desired outcome you want to accomplish. Next, we'll work together with various techniques and hypnosis to achieve those results, all in a tranquil, calming and relaxing environment. So go ahead, and let me prove you wrong and give you a chance to say, "wow, a new me"!

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a treatment that uses hypnosis to alter the way you feel or change aspects of your life that need improving.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a perfectly natural condition, which we experience every day of our lives, like day dreaming. We drift in and out of a hypnotic state all day long without being aware of it. Under hypnosis, we are capable of making amazing changes to our thinking patterns and unlocking unlimited potential to improve and transform our lives.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, meaning that you are in control at all times. A hypnotherapist guides and empowers the client throughout the hypnotic process. This is a focused state of relaxation, in which the subconscious mind can achieve incredible transformations for beneficial purposes.

The incredible commitment generated between hypnotherapist and client working together creates positive and therapeutic changes which can alter a person's life permanently. We focus on the solution, not the problem.

Who can be hypnotised?

Virtually everyone can be hypnotised. If you have the desire to make a change, then you will allow yourself to be guided into the wonderful and relaxing trance state. You cannot be hypnotised against your will. Children of all ages are welcome.

Is hypnosis safe?

Hypnotherapy is 100% safe. There are no side-effects and you are always in control.

What happens during the session?

We discuss what you want to improve or change. Then we agree the goals and desired outcome you want to accomplish. Next, we work together with various techniques and hypnosis to achieve those results, all in a tranquil, calming and relaxing environment.

How many sessions will I need and what are the fees?

It depends on what you need assistance with changing. Giving up smoking or eliminating a phobia are usually resolved in one session, while the majority of cases are treated in four sessions or less. The aim is to help you in the minimum number of sessions possible, so your motivation and desire to change will play a key role. You should achieve the results quickly and pleasantly. We will review your progress together after each session.

Fees are £145.00 for the first session (lasting 75 minutes) and reviewed thereafter if more sessions are required. Counselling and life coaching fees are based in the number of sessions agreed. Smoking cessation is £200.00, with 20% donated of this total donated to charity.

How can hypnotherapy help you?

Hypnotherapy can be effective in a number of ways. It can help you to increase confidence and self-esteem; improve motivation; manage your weight; quit smoking; manage stress and eliminate anxiety; eliminate phobias and panic attacks; stop unwanted habits and alleviate sleeping disorders.

Got something weighing on your mind?

By Marygrace Anderson

For many people, losing weight is easier said than done, especially at this festive time of year!

Did you know that 95% of dieters regain the weight they have lost? Worse than that, in the UK obesity has almost moved into the number one cause of premature death. It is a fact that 25% of women and 20% of men in the UK are now classified as obese. The symptoms range from low energy levels and breathlessness to serious conditions such as high blood sugar, high cholesterol, thyroid and hormone problems, and extra strain on the heart.

So what is the solution? A permanent lifestyle change with the help of hypnotherapy. How you think affects everything you do and you can learn new ways to use your mind that will let you change easily and comfortably. Together, we will discover the reasons behind your eating habits and use several techniques to help change that thinking once and for all. I can help you find the motivation you need to lose weight, exercise and feel good about yourself and your body again. Inside and out!
