Hypnobirthing Course

3/11/2010

Dawn Howorth, one of our Psychotherapists will be delivering her highly successful Hypnobirthing course at Vitality + starting in April and run over 5 weeks. 

The Mongan method of HypnoBirthing is a philosophy and technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing and stress-free birthing. HypnoBirthing teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner.

Both the mother and birthing companion attend group antenatal classes once a week for 5 weeks.  Each session is 2½ hours.  These sessions are very supportive, making time for discussion, demonstrations and practice.  Some birthing mothers and companions prefer one-to-one sessions; private sessions are available.

HypnoBirthing Antenatal Classes can…

  • Reduce the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during and after birthing
  • Eliminate or greatly reduce the need for chemical painkillers
  • Shorten the first stage of labour by several hours
  • Eliminate fatigue during labour, leaving you fresh and awake
  • Promote family bonding
  • Foster more rapid postnatal recovery
  • Return birthing to the beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended
  • Creates a more integral role for the birthing companion

British Heart Foundation - Heartstart

3/6/2010

 
A big thank you to everyone who attended the two Heartstart courses delivered by The British Heart Foundation at Vitality +. These 2 hour courses are designed to give people emergency life saving skills; they teach CPR, how to help someone who is choking and how to recognise and treat someone having a heart attack . Serious and important stuff indeed, and yet judging by the laughter coming from our training room whilst I've been in the shop, still fun to do! Everyone who attends comes away with a certificate and more importantly, a set of skills that may save someones live one day.  So a big well done to all those who attended.

p.s. And a special thanks to Pat, who with help from the BHF, decorated our window to tie in St Valentines to make February 'Big Heart Month' as Dawn Taylor from Heart Start East Lancs says:  "An inspired combination, and we offer our sincere thanks to Tim and Tracey for the use of the window and for organising not just one, but two training sessions in the treatment rooms over the shop."
