HypnoFlow birthing

Stay attuned with yourself – no matter how the birth flows

A customized program for you 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 with yourself, no matter how labor 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. Bij elke sessie besteden we ook aandacht aan de kleine in je buik. The self-hypnosis techniques you learn can be used after delivery for your postpartum recovery. The self-hypnosis techniques you learn can be used after delivery for your postpartum recovery.

  • If desired: partner as co-director. Je partner kan vanaf het begin meegenomen worden in het proces. 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 – Customized

This is an example of what it might look like:

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

The track consists of individually tailored sessions for you and your partner. Most parents follow this track over a period of 3 to 4 months.

 

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 course
HypnoFlow Birthing is a customized program for you to step into motherhood.

There is plenty of space between sessions so that your body, brain and subconscious mind have time to integrate what we are doing.

In principle, we plan the concluding session before the final stage of your pregnancy, so that you can look forward to the delivery with peace and confidence.
We always agree on the exact pace together, matching your due date and how your pregnancy is progressing.

When to start
This course ideally starts around week 22 of pregnancy.This period offers enough time to go through the sessions quietly and integrate the techniques into your body and daily life. Depending on your due date, your needs and my schedule, the start time may be a little earlier or later. Therefore, we always schedule an introductory meeting first to see what fits together.

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 in my practice in Amsterdam, in a quiet, warm environment where you can completely land.
Some 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.

Scheduling
Because I work with a limited number of women at a time, we schedule all sessions right at the start of the program.
That way you can be sure that your spot is reserved in my calendar until the delivery.
Schedule a no-obligation introductory consultation first, then we’ll look at your due date together and create a schedule that fits your pregnancy.

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