Happy Mama Haley

I have a virtual HypnoBirthing class coming up on 11/3! Contact me ASAP to enroll!

It’s always such a joy to be able to share my own birth video with the families who take my class.

The births we see in every day media outlets usually depict the experience as scary, painful, hectic, etc.

It’s beneficial to expose ourselves to birth images that show a side of birth that can be peaceful, pleasurable, and unfolding smoothly.

This shows us that our own birth experience doesn’t have to be something to be feared. 💗💗

Let’s unpack this ⏬

When we are suffering - be it discomfort, turmoil, conflict, pain, etc - we often point to an experience, emotion, or sensation to be the cause of the suffering.

It’s not what is happening to you that is causing suffering, it’s your 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 to what is happening.

If your reaction involves resistance, tension, or doubt, then THAT is the cause of your suffering.

You have the ability to control your reaction to any experience.

In relation to birth, if you resist and pull back from your body’s natural process, then you are 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 with its ability to do its job. Fighting against the process only makes things more difficult, often resulting in a “failure to progress” type of situation.

This holds true in any given situation life presents.

Try instead to notice the sensation/experience, be aware of the way it feels, and then 𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 that feeling.

Welcome it with open arms. Allow it to permeate your whole body, and instead of pulling back, make the active choice to 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒊𝒕.

YOU are in control of your body. YOU are in control of your life circumstances. Not the other way around.

This is a comfort technique used during labor to provide low back relief and allow space in the pelvis for the baby to descend.

The birth doula and/or birth companion will hold this squeeze during a surge, and slowly release and as the surge fades.

Treat your birthing day as sacred. The people you invite into your space will forever hold a place in your memory. Surround yourself with a team who will do anything in their power to make sure you feel cared for, heard, and loved. 💞

𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍!!! 📢 Come learn with me and a group of other expecting parents. We will dismiss fear, gain knowledge, and learn how to have the best birth experience possible, for the birthing woman AND her partner.

Class will be held in-person at MaxLiving Chiropractic in West Columbia.

Message me for more details!

Here’s your gentle reminder to stop what you’re doing, and take a ｌｏｎｇ, 𝒔𝒍𝒐𝒘, ᴅᴇᴇᴘ breath.

Inhale through your nose, sending your breath deep into your belly, drawing in love, light, freedom, gratitude, peace.

Exhale through the mouth, releasing any tension, any limiting thoughts. Pause at the bottom of your exhale and feel the sweet stillness. Be present.

Breath work connects your mind to your body, and your body to your mind. Breath is one bodily function that happens effortlessly and without us consciously thinking about it, but can also be harnessed and controlled when we decide to.

This is a powerful tool for anyone, anytime - but particularly during labor and birth! Learning how to use your breath to your advantage can be a huge benefit when preparing to bring your baby into the world. 🌬✨

Beautiful words from a client’s blog post about her birth experience. It was a joy to support this family in their journey 💜💜
