HypnoFlow birthing

Stay attuned with yourself – no matter how the birth flows

A customized program of five sessions in which we soften old fears and emotions so they don’t surprise you during childbirth. You learn tools that help you stay present and strengthen positive beliefs – during birth and in motherhood. So that you stay attuned with yourself no matter how the birth flows.

Why HypnoFlow Birthing is different

  • Not a groupcourse but a personalized approach. This is an individual program: each session is tailored to what you really need.

  • Deep transformation, no loose affirmations. We work with regression to transform old patterns and limiting beliefs.

  • Real body techniques. You will learn how to activate your body’s own pain regulation during childbirth as well as how to embrace emotions in the moment.

  • Not just giving birth – also recovery and bonding. In each session we also pay attention to the little one in your belly. The self-hypnosis techniques you learn can be used after delivery for your postpartum recovery.

  • If desired: partner as co-director. Your partner can be included in the process from the beginning. We install a partner anchor that can be activated during labor as additional support.

For me, this was the key to having a wonderful experience, rather than being afraid or not knowing what to do.

The program – 5 sessions

Session 1 – Fundamentals & partner introduction

We start together: you tell me about the birthing plan and I explain hypnosis. Together you will learn a powerful self-hypnosis technique for relaxation. Result: you have a tool that helps you relax throughout pregnancy and beyond. You stand ready as a powerful team.

Session 2 – Depth intake and regression

This session is with you alone. We discuss what you need to live in peace towards childbirth/motherhood. We use hypno-analysis to address limiting emotions and beliefs at a deep level. Result: more space, less automatic fear responses.

Session 3 – Continued regression & positive reinforcement

The content of this session is determined by what we encountered in the previous session. We deepen the positive change.

Session 4 – Body’s own pain regulation.

During this session, you will learn an advanced self-hypnosis technique that you can use during labor to bring your body into focus/comfort as much as possible. Result: a reliable mental tool during childbirth.

Session 5 – Body & partner anchor

Cell hypnosis to prepare your body for childbirth+ the partner anchor. Result: Even more confidence in your body and a practical hands-on tool for your partner to support you.

Note: The program is flexible and will be adapted to your situation.

 

“This program is for you if you are willing to be present with what is coming – regardless of how the birth flows”

For who is this suitable?

  • For those who dare to look beyond the birth plan. This is not about the ideal childbirth experience: this is about being able to be present with what is.
  • For those who are not satisfied with superficial tips and really want to work on inner direction.

  • Mothers who want to give birth at home or in the hospital – the method works in both situations.
  • If you want to be gentle to yourself.
  • Couples who want to give birth as a team (partner actively involved).

Duration & postpartum

Het traject bestaat uit 5 sessies.De meeste ouders volgen dit traject over een periode van 3 tot 4 maanden.
Als de laatste sessie vóór de bevalling onverhoopt niet lukt, zetten we die om naar een postpartum-sessie binnen 6 weken na de geboorte.
Na 6 weken postpartum geldt het reguliere sessietarief (€270) voor een losse sessie.

 

Special experience

In 2024, I guided Marianne and Pim in their preparation for the birth of their daughter.
What began as a customized course quickly grew into the foundation of what is now the HypnoFlow Birthing Program.

Earlier this year, we recorded a podcast together in which they openly share how hypnosis supported them – in the weeks before childbirth, during the intensity of the moment itself, and in connecting with each other.

It was special to see how calmness, presence and confidence made all the difference for them. Their experience made me realize how valuable it is when women can truly lean on their bodies and inner safety.
That is exactly what HypnoFlow is for.

Practical & Planning

Duration of the program
HypnoPower Birthing consists of five sessions that we carefully spread out over six to ten weeks.
There is at least one week between each session, so that your body, brain, and subconscious have time to integrate what we are doing.
We always schedule the last session at least two weeks before your due date.

When to start
Most women start between weeks 20-22 of pregnancy. Because I work with a small number of clients at a time, availability depends on your due date.
During the introductory meeting, we will discuss the best time for you to start.
From week 29 onwards, the program becomes too compact to complete all sessions in a relaxed manner.
Are you already a little further along? Feel free to reach out — we can investigate what is possible within your timeline.

Duration per session
The first two sessions last approximately three hours.
The follow-up sessions are shorter — usually between one and a half and two hours.
Each session is fully tailored to where you are in your process and what you need at that moment. Unexpected circumstances can always arise during pregnancy, so the fifth session can be used as a postpartum session if desired.

Interim support
Practical questions (about scheduling or exercises) may be sent via the app. Is there something personal or substantive going on? Then we will schedule a short telephone moment, so I can guide you properly without loose messages back and forth.

Location
All sessions take place at my practice in Amsterdam, in a quiet, warm environment where you can completely relax.
A number of sessions can take place online if desired (depending on the goal) — for example, if you live further away or want to travel less towards the end of your pregnancy.

Planning
Because I work with a limited number of women at a time, we plan all sessions right at the start of the process.
This way, you can be sure that your place in my schedule is reserved until you give birth.
First, schedule a free discovery call, then we will look at your due date together and make a plan that suits your pregnancy.

“Hypnosis gave us exactly what we needed: peace, clarity and the feeling that we could do this together.” – Marianne
