"It was an honour to have Helen Tang and HypnoBirthing be a part of our pregnancy process.  As this was our first pregnancy, we knew right away that we wanted our experience to be calm, peaceful, and loving.

Instantly in our first session, we knew we had made the right decision as Helen's voice soothed away our tensions and helped us reach a beautifully relaxed state.  Working on our fears and eliminating any negative subconscious energies was terrific for us.

During my labour, I will always remember the most beautiful 20 minute visualization that my husband gave me, thanks to all of his training with Helen. HypnoBirthing with Helen Tang is a must for all pregnant couples!"

--- Bliss Prema (Yoga Instructor)

"Dear Helen, thank you for being our hypnotherapist.  Your contribution helped make our birth so beautiful."

Grit's Story

Thank you Helen for your support and help.  We had a great birthing experience and are so happy about the fact that my dream birth came true.

Here is my birth story.

I decided to have a home birth because of the hospital birth stories I read. I watched every youtube home birth video I could find. The more I watched, the more comfortable I got with idea of a home birth. My dream birth was one of a natural birth without any unnecessary interventions. I came across HypnoBirthing when I was doing my research on how to prepare myself for the kind of birth I wanted, the program appealed to me and I signed up for a class right away.

My husband and I started the course with you and we had the feeling that we were at the right place.  I listened to Rainbow Relaxation CD and practised breathing techniques every day.  The practice and the affirmations helped me relax. Another big part of the program that helped me was the fear release session, I felt so confident  after that session that I knew I was ready to give birth at home.

My contractions started when I was 40 weeks and 6 days, and I didn't even notice it at first. In fact, I thought I was having braxton hicks for the first 3 hours even though they were 3 minutes apart.  We called the midwife and she suggested that I take a bath first.  We called again after the bath and at that point the surges were becoming stronger and I had to focus my energy on breathing, but I still thought I was having braxton hicks because there was no pain.  The midwife arrived shortly and checked on me.  I was surprised to hear that I was already 5 cm dilated.  It wasn't until my water broke that I believed that I was in labour.  I went back into the bathtub while my partner and midwife prepared the pool for me to give birth in.   The pool was in our living room.  In the meantime, I kept breathing and focusing on staying relaxed.  A couple of minutes later I moved into the pool and felt so much better as soon as I got in because the pool was so much more comfortable. 

As I was lying in the pool, I kept breathing and telling myself to relax and to surrender to the natural process.  It did not take long before I felt I could start pushing. I tried to breath the baby down, but since I could not figure out a way, I decided to push.  I pushed for two hours, it may sound like a long time but it did not feel that way to me at all.  I just focused on staying calm and relaxed the entire time. And then all of a suddenly, my baby floated into the water, and I just grabbed him and I could not believe that that was it.  I turned around and asked my midwife, was that it?  I couldn't believe it was all over, it was so easy. The birth took 8 hours, and I didn't even think I was in labour the first 3 hours.  I did not feel pain for the remaining 5 hours I was in active labour.  It was just hard work, hard work to stay relaxed and focus.  My partner said that I made giving birth look so easy.  My midwife commented afterwards that I could be the poster child for HypnoBirthing because I stayed so calm and was so in control. My baby was 9.8 pounds and 55 cm, and I am so proud of myself for having delivered him at our home and without any drugs.

To every woman out there who wants to have a gentle birth, HypnoBirthing works!  The money was well-invested in your course, Helen, and it was the best gift I gave to myself during my pregnancy.

Stephanie's Story
 

Hi Helen, I hope you're well. 

 

We had a baby girl on October 4th at 9:57 am; her name is Verona and she weighed 7lbs 4.5 oz. My labour was very fast and very easy! I started having mild cramps at about 3:00 am and at about 4:00 we went for a walk outside. We walked for an hour or so and I decided it was time for me to relax and get focused. So I went back to bed and started listening to my Hypnobirthing CD. By 6:00 I was having regular but short surges that were really easy to breathe through. We called Anne at 7:30 and she arrived 45 minutes later. She checked me and I was 3 cm dilated, but felt my labour would progress quickly. She suggested that Brad fill the pool right away if I wanted to use it and had me get in around 8:45. At 9:44 (exactly!!) Anne checked me and I was 6cm dilated, so she called the backup midwife. At that point I thought that the baby would come in the next two hours so I just tried to focus on relaxing my body and breathing calmly, but within minutes of checking me I had 2 very strong surges and felt intense pressure. I never even had a chance to breathe Verona down, as she came out entirely on her own in the next two contractions! 13 minutes from 6 cm to baby in my arms!! I could barely believe it! She was born without any pushing, she began breathing right away and barely cried at all. She was so calm and relaxed! And the backup midwife didn't arrived until about 20 minutes after Verona was born. :)

It's amazing how different but similar my two labours were. With Theron I was two weeks late, was induced and had such intense labour that I barely remember his birth and it left me feeling stressed and defeated. Verona came a few days early, on her time, entirely without fear or stress. Her birth was so peaceful and joyous. Both my labours were 6 hours and both progressed very quickly at the end but I feel so proud of myself and I've realized that I simply labour quickly. Verona's birth has actually made me feel so much better about Theron's birth. I always felt that Theron's birth was so fast because I was induced and the intensity was due to that. I never believed it could have simply been my body that did all the hard work on its own, but now I know that it was. And although Theron's birth was stressful, I must have done something right within my mind and body, because my body opened the same way it did with Verona. 

It's incredible how proud of myself I feel... I had the birth that I dreamed of having, without a single intervention. I simply couldn't have asked for more. There was only one point when I was unable to stay focused and it was right after Anne checked my at 6cm. The Hypnobirthing CD had stopped and everyone was talking so I had to ask everyone to be quiet and to restart my affirmations then I was able to fall back into relaxation right away which is a good thing, since my labour ended so quickly. Without a doubt the Hypnobirthing really made the difference for me. Brad was able to support me fully and seemed to know what to do at exactly the right moment and I never felt like I wasn't in control or that everything was spiraling around me.

Thank you so much for your time and guidance. Our Hypnobirthing experience has been invaluable.

Nicole's Story

Hi Helen.

I had my baby on Nov.10th, 10 days early just like suspected. My water broke at midnight and I began feeling surges around 2am. My midwives and my sister, Amanda arrived at my home around 5am.

I had back labour which was very uncomfortable and difficult for me to do the surge breathing. Light touch massage wasn't working well with back labour either, I really wanted Amanda to put lots of force and pressure on my lower back.  The birthing pool was very helpful and being calm and limp is the ONLY way to deal with the surges.

By 7am I was 7cms dialated and Lila was born at 9:22am. My midwives were sooooo proud of me for maintaining calm and breathing through the surges. Birth breathing and breathing her down, visualizing the J was unbelievable effective. You really do just need to trust your body and follow it's lead. Chris and Amanda were amazing, they followed my lead and really kept a great atmosphere for me. Lila came out very gently and alert as can be. She was 7lbs 7oz and 21 inches long. I had no tears and I healed very quickly.


Amanda has grown tremedously from the entire experience. My friends and family are very impressed that we had a natural home birth. Thank you again for the sessions, this could not have been achieved without the preperation mentally and physically.
