Comments from women attending pregnancy yoga class...
"Cathy's pregnancy yoga class has been invaluable to me during my pregnancy. Her extensive knowledge and passion for pregannacy, birthing and babies has greatly assisted me on comfortable positions during pregnanacy and labour, communicating with my baby, relaxation techniques and relieving some adverse symptoms of pregnancy. I highly recommend Cathy's pregnancy yoga class to every pregnant woman. T.Kerr. East Ringwood.
"Thankyou so much for all of your assistance and support during my pregnancy. The weekly anten-natal yoga was so helpful. I really enjoyed being with other expecting mum's but most of all I can't believe how much the yoga practice you taught me helped me with my birth preparation. I had the most beautiful birth and I put this down to the stamina and positions that I learnt about through your classes."

Doula Service
What is a doula? A doula is a woman who provides physical, emotional and informational support to women and their families before, during and after childbirth. A doula 'mothers the mother.'
Women supported by a doula during labour have been shown to have:
50% reduction of caesarean rate
25% shorter labour
60% reduction in epidural requests
30% reduction in analgesia use
40% reduction in forceps delivery
I have trained with The International College of Spiritual Midwifery. As a Certified Doula I am able to offer you the following package:
Two visits before the birth and two after the birth
*Birth planning
*Support druing labour and birth
*Resources and informaiton for pregnancy and labour and birth
*Relaxation and emotional support before during and after birth
Phone to discuss your personal requirements and current service fee.
Postpartum care is available with 2 hour minimum booking. Postpartum doula service supports you as a new mother by offering a wide range of tasks which can include: getting breastfeeding established, caring for the baby while mum takes a shower or nap, keeping the house clean, doing laundry, preparing meals or helping out with siblings. Postnatal yoga, baby yoga and relaxation can be included in your visit. Phone to discuss your individual needs.
HypnoChildbirth....Pregnancy Relaxation and Gentle Birth Preparation
Learn......
*Deep relaxation and self hypnosis techniques to achieve a comfortable, shorter labour and birth. These tools of relaxation can be used throughout the rest of your life.
*How to deeply connect and bond with your growing baby
*How you and your birthing team can create a birthing environment that is calm, serene and joyful (rather than tense and stressful)
*Gentle birthing techniques that allow you to breathe your baby into the world
*How to use your natural birthing instincts to birth your baby in a way your body was designed to. It is only fear that prevents this.....the 'what ifs'
HypnoChildbirth is an effective tool for birth preparation, and knowledge of the birth process. This method leads to comfortable, safe birthing practices. It allows the mother to by-pass the 'fight-or-flight' process when labour begins, so her body works effectively and efficiently. Women experience total muscle relaxation, reducing uterine discomfort (pain).
HypnoChildbirth uses well organized language, and the right amount of practice, so you can reach that 'special birthing place' that all women need to find, in order to birth their babies without trama or fear.
HypnoChildbirth is a method developed by Doula and Childbirth Educator Denise Love. Denise has supported many women through birth for over 30 years. She has watched women's development in the Western world, Indigenous women of Australia and now works in Thailand.
How to create the birth you want for your baby....
Personal sessions identify your needs, wants and expectations around birth.
3 sessions will begin your preparation for HypnoChildbirth and with suggested outline, you can achieve total relaxation to welcome your baby. 6 sessions is ideal.
1 session for planning pregnancy.
Cost per session is $100 - includes cds and scripts.
You can start sessions at anytime during pregnancy. Starting at the beginning of second trimester allows deeper relaxation and wellbeing during pregnancy.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning 'Universal Life Force Energy' - that which permeates all things.
Reiki hamonizes and balances the body's energy.
Reiki helps to reduce:
Stress, aching muscles, incidences of colds and flu, fatigue, allergies, headaches, digestive problems and anxiety.
Reiki enhances creativity, communication and learning abilities by improving the integration of the left and right brain hemispheres - beneficial for both children and adults and perfect during pregnancy and postpartum.
In a Reiki session the practitioner's hands rest on the client's fully clothed body. Unlike massage there is no pressure.
Session 1 hour $60. By appointment. Phone Cathy 9761 0631.
Reiki is total nurturing - great for relaxing and energizing the body bringing about a feeling vitality and well-being.
