FERTILITY AND CHILDBIRTH
Women receive all kinds of conflicting messages about pregnancy and birth. The media demonises both older and younger mothers, so what sort of age 'should' a woman be when she becomes a mother? And hospitals, though they are supposed to be welcoming for this magical experience, are often intimidating places.
Combine factors like those with the very personal experiences a woman has of her own body's ways, and it's no wonder that some women find fertility a difficult subject. Tina Taylor has developed solutions incorporating hypnotherapy and NLP to assist women to become pregnant more easily, and to make childbirth a joyous experience.
Sharon Citron is one typical client, a 41 year old who because of fibroids in her womb was told that even IVF was unlikely to be successful. Tina worked with her to increase the chances of IVF working, and doctors were stumped when Sharon became pregnant within weeks: she's now the mother of a healthy girl, Leonie.
As well as offering individual support to women wanting her to increase their fertility, Tina has produced an acclaimed CD to reach a greater number of women than she could ever do in person.
"After having fertility treatments for the last three years, I had found myself becoming more despondent and pessimistic as time has gone on. I had completely lost sight of my goal � a baby! Tina's fertility CD has made me take time for myself, completely relaxing and focusing on me. After dwelling on the negatives so long, Tina and her CD have changed my perspective and now I feel excited, optimistic and positive." A.Q.
"I've just come back from my third ante-natal appointment in a row in which my blood pressure has lowered. The first time it was 130/80 which was not particularly good. After using the techniques you taught me it is now reading 110/65. Our midwife was astonished as she said any consultant looking at the reading would think she had made a mistake, so she made a note of how relaxed I was. We also went on a tour of the maternity unit�I was shocked at how much they affected me, making me very nervous and upset. Using the techniques you taught me I now visualise the birth taking place in one of the delivery rooms with no worries at all." Owain, Kathie & Freya
