Why 3 Keys Birth with North Shore Hypnosis?

3 Keys® Birth is a hypnosis-centered birth program.  This time-tested program was designed by and is taught by a professionally certified hypnotist.  All courses or private sessions in hypnobirthing are conducted by Heather Haller, Certified Professional Hypnotist and Certified Practitioner of 3 Keys Hypnofertility and Birthing Programs.

Our 3 Keys Birth program consists of 6 sessions designed to thoroughly address everything you need for your fulfilling birth and postpartum success.  Classes can be group classes or personal sessions and can be taught in-person or online.  The program consists of 5 main classes, as well as one more session that is personalized to your birthing needs, questions, or concerns.

My goals for you:

• Help you to tune in to your body and bond with your baby, to remain in harmony with both throughout your labor and birth, and to welcome the birth experience that is just right for the both of you.
• Teach and condition you to the hypnotic process so you can utilize it naturally to release and counter fear as well as be more in control and acceptance of your birth experience and your feelings.
• Assist you in communicating with childbirth professionals while still maintaining your sense of control for a peaceful and positive childbirth experience – regardless of birth method.
• Teach you a life skill that will help you during pregnancy, post-partum and beyond.

Why are we so afraid of childbirth and why is FEAR THE PROBLEM?

The popular portrayals of childbirth from reality TV to Hollywood movies and, of course, the desire of others to share their own or other’s birth stories, can create the expectation that labor and birth will be difficult and painful.

Fear causes tension and tension causes pain, triggering the “fight or flight” mode genetically programmed into our bodies. “Fight or flight” makes us shift into survival mode – directing body and energy and hormones to our lungs, arms, legs – taking those things away from the reproductive and digestive systems. Your body doesn’t want to give birth when it thinks it is physical danger!

How does HYPNOSIS help and what will birth with 3 Keys Hypnosis be like?

Hypnosis is the fastest and most effective way to counter or prevent the “fight or flight” response and activate what is sometimes called its antidote—“feed and breed” or “rest and digest”. When your body is sufficiently relaxed and engaged, your mind and emotions aligned and in balance, you will release endorphins—your body’s natural anesthesia. These replace any stress hormones (which are immediately released during fight or flight) that can constrict and cause pain. You can experience birthing in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear, stress, and tension and allowing your birthing muscles to work in perfect harmony—as Nature designed and intended them to.

Because it is hypnosis-centered, when you choose to have your baby with 3Keys® Birth, you will learn and be able to easily and rapidly access the exceptional relaxation state that only hypnosis can produce.  General relaxation is simply not the same thing and is not sustainable without the hypnosis component.  This is why the hypnosis aspect of Birthing is so essential.  Hypnosis, when properly understood and utilized, is incomparable to any other childbirth tool.  It is the hypnosis that links and supports all facets of peaceful childbirth.  It enables you to be fully present with your labor, conversant (if you like), totally relaxed, and fully in control.  If you are asked a question or need to make a decision, you will be able to do so from a place of clarity, tuned in to your body and your baby.

Healthy mom, healthy baby is the ultimate goal of 3Keys® Birth. With that in mind, we help you to tune in to your body and your baby, to remain in harmony with both throughout your labor and birth, and to welcome the birth experience that is just right for the both of you. Each and every birth is unique. Each and every birth is personal. And each and every birth can be peaceful and fulfilling.
