Summary

The Birth and Beyond Midwives are delighted to invite you to very special, in person, Royal Relaxation events at our lovely venues .

Relaxation has positive effects on pregnant people and their developing baby by reducing adrenaline and cortisol and promoting the love hormone Oxytocin. Therefore, we recommend every pregnant woman to join a relaxation course if possible. This session is ideal for anyone with an interest in emotional wellbeing or relaxation, people seeking in person relaxation and those looking for a taster session prior to committing to a full course. No Hypnobirthing or previous Royal relaxation experience is necessary.

Pregnancy Relaxation includes:

  • In person guided relaxation session
  • Continued support from expert qualified midwives and specialist advice from our in-house Cognitive Hypnotherapist Midwife

 

In Detail

Loving Kindness Meditation is a practice tied in with self-love, empathy, understanding and kindness. This Mindfulness practice based in self-love has been found to support emotional regulation, stress management, immune function, and its continued practice has been associated with:

  • Less self-criticism
  • More positive emotions
  • Fewer self-destructive thoughts
  • Reduced chronic pain symptoms
  • Increased resilience 

Spaces are limited to pregnant women/ people but can be enjoyed at any stage of pregancy. Techniques are not recommended for those with medical conditions where hypnosis and guided relaxation is contraindicated. 

*Hypnosis and visualisation techniques are taught and used during Royal Relaxation. If you or your Partner have epilepsy, a mental health diagnosis or neurological condition this class may not be suitable. Please discuss with your lead medical professional, mental health team or GP before attending the session or commencing any hypnobirthing practice.
