Compassionate Hypnobirthing – Way of the Koi

The Way of the Koi Hypnobirthing is a complete birth education and preparation course.
Created by Midwife and Hypnotherapist Nicola Nelson. It draws on her years of midwifery experience and includes her therapeutic coaching skills. The course gives you the confidence to negotiate confidently with maternity services and work in partnership with your caregivers to create the optimal birth environment.
It equips you as Parents with lots of resources, tools for simple but effective self-hypnosis and deep relaxation techniques for
maintaining your natural birth state-of-mind. This course places a large emphasis on high quality, robust antenatal education. Hypnobirthing is based on techniques to support the mind to relax thus allowing the physiological process of birth to take place.
This course is about tools through compassion-based principles.
After each session, you will be sent MP3s to help you develop your hypnobirthing skills as well as other useful information and resources to add to your birthing tool kit. You will also have full access to Sarah during the duration of the course, and for
post course support while you are practising.

“The legend of the fish Koi teaches us to never waver in our determination yet remain fluid. The Koi cannot swim if rigid: she would be unable to navigate the waters as she encounters them. The Koi teaches us to swim past our obstacles in quiet determination and to calmly ignore the nay-sayers.
While keeping the bigger picture in mind. The Koi does not ‘go with the flow’ but it follows its own instincts, up stream.
This is an ancient tale of a journey with meaning and purpose: a journey requiring bravery, perseverance and strength of purpose which
ultimately leads to transition and transformation.”
