THE BENEFITS OF TAPPING DURING PREGNANCY

The Benefits of Tapping During Pregnancy

It’s normal to have anxieties and worries during pregnancy because it’s such a huge time of transformation. Your body is busy intuitively building your baby and your brain is going through more changes than at any other stage in your life, phew that’s a lot!

I used tapping throughout both of my pregnancies and it really helped me in so many ways:

* Tapping helped keep me calm on the days my mind would start racing.

* Tapping helped me process my fears around whether my baby was safe and growing in the right way.

* Tapping built my confidence in becoming a parent for the first time and the worries I had about being a mum of two.

* Tapping helped me to process my emotions throughout pregnancy.

* Tapping helped me to deeply connect with my body.

* Tapping helped me to prepare for a c section and process the fears I had around it (my first baby was breach and I was told they didn’t have midwives who specialise in breech natural births so I had a planned C section).

* Tapping helped me to overcome the self doubt I had around birthing my son naturally and I went on to have a truly magical, natural birth.

* Tapping helped me navigate the postpartum haze when I was exhausted and figuring out parenting for the first time.

* Tapping helped energise my nervous system on the days when I was so sleep deprived I felt like I was on a boat.

* Tapping helped me reduce anxiety throughout the whole process which helped me be a better mother.

PROCESSING BIRTH WORKSHOP

Giving birth can be a magical experience but for some women the opposite may be true. For many different reasons birth can be traumatic having a lasting impact on their mental and physical wellbeing. The spectrum of trauma is a wide one and can range from PTSD (when maybe a mother nearly lost her life during childbirth) not feeling heard, feeling helpless, having things done without consent, emergency c section, unexpected complications or interventions, long painful labour or anything else that a birthing mother finds traumatic.

You may feel disappointed that childbirth was not the experience you were hoping for. Or you might feel angry with the medical staff if you felt that the delivery wasn't handled well. Your experiences may also make you feel anxious about having another baby in future, in case you have to go through a similar experience during birth. - Mind

Trauma is different for everyone so it's important to reflect on how birth effected you both physically and mentally. Even if you had a planned c section, your body is still experiencing a trauma from being cut open. You may have had a good experience but still wish some things had been handled differently. Perhaps there were times you didn't feel like you were being listened to, patronised or ignored - these are all things that have a lasting impact.

Join me on 23rd March at Midday for my 1hr workshop 'Processing Birth'. It's been specifically designed to:

• Create a safe space for all mothers to process their birth.

• Empower you with tools to calm and ground your energy whenever you need (even when with your baby / children).

• Allow your nervous system to emotionally and physically process your experience.

• Improve the quality of your sleep (the short amounts you do get).

• Reduce stress and anxiety connected to motherhood and everyday life.

• Make you feel seen, heard and validate your emotions.

• Improve your confidence as a mother and overcome any fear of birthing again.

• Nurture your mental and physical wellbeing.

During the 1 hr lunchtime workshop you'll learn:

• Insight into birth trauma, birth PTSD what is it and how it can affect people's mental health.

• Breathing Techniques - to calm and ground your whole nervous system.

• Guided Meditation - to help you identify, process and release any parts of your birth you found challenging.

• Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) - to help bring your nervous system back into balance and overcome any anxious, negative thoughts you might be experiencing.

The workshop is only £20, click below to book or you can email kim@happyheads.me. It will be recorded for anyone who can't watch the live session so you can watch in your own time.

I can’t wait to see you all there.

Big Love
