How HypnoBirthing helped me
I went from not knowing what to expect from birth and having awful images in my head about what birth was supposed to be, to feeling confident and empowered; trusting my body's ability to birth. I have had three amazing births. My first was born in The Netherlands, the second in Malaga, Spain, and my third little one also born here in Spain.
In my practice, I share from my experience as a HypnoBirthing mom as well as from the perspective of a HypnoBirthing practitioner. This makes my course rounded and rich. While theory is valuable, practical experience enables me to share the information with greater depth and understanding.

Do you recognize yourself in this;
You have no clue what is normal or desirable during pregnancy and birth, let alone here in Spain where you don´t fully speak the language and you don´t know how the maternity system works or what is allowed in pregnancy and birth! You are afraid you miss importnat information.
Your appointment with your healthcare provider is today. Your heart sinks to your boots. You find it hard to talk to your healthcare provider. The health care is so different here than at home. You don't feel your questions are being answered or that you are really listened to. You are worried; ¨How do I make clear what I want? And how do I make sure I am taken seriously?¨
Ever since you became pregnant, horror birth stories have been flying around your ears. As if suddenly is written on your forehead; dump your birth trauma here. You are sure you want birth to be different. ¨It must be possible to have a positive birth experience, right?!?¨ You think to yourself, ¨But how? Where to start?¨ You have no idea and that makes you feel insecure.
Hanging up on your friend, panic breaks out! She said very sweetly that she thinks it's so brave of you to go for a natural birth without pain relieve. During the conversation, you still felt very determined about it, but now doubts strike! Your thoughts start racing; ¨Help, I actually have no idea how natural birth works! What can I expect?¨ Surrounded by questions you start to feel insecure and start doubting if this is something you really want or can do...
After a long day, you finally lie in bed, happy to rest your feet for a while. Now that you have time to unwind, the staring contest with your ceiling begins and your thoughts start haunting you... ¨Can I handle this? What if I can't relax at all? What if my pain becomes too much for me? What if I go over time? Are there natural ways to induce birth? What if something goes wrong?¨ You have so many questions about birth, you feel anxious and overwhelmed. And then you're 2 hours on and still staring at your ceiling, while you so desperately need your sleep right now. Off to the toilet again.…
The worst thing that could happen?
Without knowing your choices, your doctor decides for you, and your pregnancy stops feeling like something happening with you, and starts feeling like something happening to you. Left unchecked, that same loss of control can follow you straight into birth itself, leaving you feeling powerless exactly when you need to feel strong, and at risk of birth trauma.
And the risk isn't just the birth itself. It's everything that comes after, bonding with your baby, breastfeeding, recovery, how you feel about this experience for years to come.
You don't get a trial run. There's no do-over for this birth.
The Antenatal HypnoBirthing Course gives you exactly that: a clear path through the Spanish maternity system, real tools to cope with pain, and the ability to walk into birth with confidence.
