Sophro naissance accompagnement des femmes enceintes

Maternity is an incredible adventure, leading to high levels of happiness as well as anguished moments where stress sets in.

To a great extent, coping with physical and emotional changes during pregnancy can result in the manifestation of heightened anxiety.

Sophrology is particularly well-suited to help pregnant women go through this life changing experience as well as being a real asset regarding the preparation for becoming a parent. This method provides simple solutions to your concerns by :

✓ Re-establishing a conscious contact with your body
(be in peace with your body)
✓ Approaching the birth peacefully
✓ Creating contact with your baby
✓ Reinforcing your self-esteem and confidence

The main advantage in the practice of sophrology is to tune in to a moment just for yourself.

The breathing exercises relieve tension in the body which leads to a phase of relaxation, followed by a guided visualisation.

The calmness prepares the way to a sleep-wake state of consciousness where you become more receptive to positive messages.

Many women find themselves disheartened during pregnancy when their body goes through a number of changes. Meanwhile, introspection can become complex and emotionally involved during such times. By connecting to your inner-self, you will be able to reclaim your body and adapt to your new physical self.

This method contributes to the gentle build up of self-esteem and a positive image of yourself. It also nurtures a sense of fulfilment which leaves you with a feeling of complete harmony with your body.

Sophrology can act as a relief for expectant mothers wishing to give birth without epidural.

Acting with the mindfulness of your breathing, you will be able to subdue the pain and to fully experience the birth of your baby.

The control of your breathing is a key element in offering you a reprieve.

In the case of smokers, this method can also be useful in managing smoking habits.

I recommend recording our sessions for a better integration of the preparatory work we accomplished together. You will be able to listen to the sessions afterwards whenever you feel necessary to summon up the calmness and the confidence you experienced during the sessions at home.

An average of 6 sessions is suggested in order to create the best conditions around the birth preparation. Nevertheless, this guideline can vary and will be in harmony with your needs.

This method prepares you to manage the emotions associated with the pregnancy and will assist you in the visualisation of a safe childbirth as well as creating a nurturing connection with your baby.
