The
Gentle Birth Method is a concise
pregnancy programme combining diverse therapies such as Creative Healing
Massage, Reflexology, Self-Hypnosis and Visualisation, Homeopathy, Yoga, Bowen, Cranio sacral, Reiki and affirmation techniques. Also Nutrition; a simple diet.
The method was created by Dr Gowri Motha
as an alternative to conventional obstetric practice, when she became alarmed
at the increasing number of women needing intervention during their births. It
teaches expectant mothers how to train their bodies and minds in order to
reduce or prevent complications during pregnancy and labour.
The aim of the Gentle Birth Method is to make expectant mothers BIRTH FIT (over and above being medically normal).
BIRTH FIT means that the mother is:
*physically fit and supple at term
*confident and emotionally in control
*capable of meeting the demands of birth
*knows and understands how to manage labour
*normalizing the normal
By being BIRTH FIT you have the optimal chance of having a Gentle Birth, a dream of mothers and fathers.
A mother becomes BIRTH FIT by following the Gentle Birth Method that prepares both the mother's mind and body for birth.
The Gentle Birth Method was founded by Dr Gowri Motha in 1987 in London.
CLIENT FEEDBACK
May 2011
I felt fitter and
stronger mentally and physically than I had 18 years ago when I had my
first child. I wish I had known about the Gentle Birth Method back then. During the labour I
found I could control the pain with self hypnosis and visualisation (mind blowing!! as I
have never really been into meditation and I found this to be the
hardest part of the programme to master) During the birth of my daughter I
felt confident and in control.
Relaxed pregnancy. Quick birth. Speedy
recovery. Everything how I wanted it to be.
Phi Massage; thank you Linda for introducing me to the Gentle Birth
Method and for looking after me through out pregnancy and recovery.
Diet; I wish I had discovered "my darling lemon thyme" sooner but did find
plenty of gluten free places in Hamilton. www.mydarlinglemonthyme.blogspot.com
Homeopathy; Janis Beet is so wonderfully wise, I don't know how my family could survive with out her and her knowledge.
Bowen
treatment; Caroline is amazing and fixed my neck as well.
Yoga; Ani
and her "Mama's and Babas" yoga programme was fantastic and put me in touch
with other mums to be.
Self Hypnosis and Visualisation; empowered me and gave me control
over my pregnancy and the upcoming birth.
Thanks everyone.
