I have CD's available to help you with your birth:

Relaxation: Hypnosis and Imagery for Childbirth:
This CD contains the entire script for birthing in the most comfortable way possible. It rehearses a positive labor experience from the moment true labor begins all the way to the birth of the baby. Listening to this CD prepares the subconscious mind for a successful birth experience. Side two contains suggestions for quick, painless, postpartum recovery, including positive suggestions for breastfeeding and parenting.

Pain Control Techniques for Childbirth:
This CD offers more than 10 techniques that alleviate pain through the use of the imagination. Included are distraction techniques, such as safe place imagery, time distortion, the color and shape of pain, the pain control scale, glove anesthesia, and more. The CD can be started and stopped in order to practice each technique. Excellent training for both mom's-to-be and health care professionals.
