Giving birth is probably the most existential, unique and unforgettable experience of our lives. My dream is that every woman can experience it the way nature intended it to be: natural, unmedicated, uncomplicated, self-determined, pain-free and simply magical.

When I became pregnant with my first baby, I was very anxious about giving birth. But from my experiences as a mental coach, I knew, that in deep relaxation pain is perceived less intense or even not at all. This is even scientifically proven. And of course, I strongly believe in the power of thought and mental strength. So why not transfer this knowledge to birth? So, I applied mental techniques in order to reduce the perception of pain during birth, to create a positive image of birth in my mind and to get rid of my fears. That’s how the “Easy Birth Formula” was born. The formula prepares you for birth both on a mental and physical level.

Both areas mainly consist of three simple steps you can follow. So on the one hand you prepare your body with only three simple things and on the other hand you apply the three steps of the mental formula during birth.

The e-course covers a lot of aspects, that you also learn about in a regular antenatal class, such as the different stages of labor. But with EBF we look at birth from a different perspective. For example, we don’t just learn how to fight fear and pain, but we learn, what causes fear and pain in labor to understand the whole process.

Perhaps you’ve already heard about the fear-tension-pain-cycle. According to this theory, pain occurs when we tense up. Relaxation is perfect for counteracting this cycle. When body and mind are relaxed, we can ensure that the muscles relax and exert positive influence on the sensation of pain as well as the duration of birth. It has been scientifically proven that pain can be reduced or even eliminated whenever we are deeply relaxed, Pain is then perceived less intensely and the relaxed muscles can work together smoothly.

That’s why one of the three parts of the mental formula is putting ourselves in the state of deep relaxation, also called trance or hypnotic state. With EBF you learn only ONE way to achieve this deep relaxation, one that you practice over and over again, so you can easily recall and apply it during birth. You practice daily with different audio tracks, that bring you into this deep relaxation. Also nice to know: You will also get audio tracks, you can listen to during birth to ensure, that you stay in this deeply relaxed state.

To get rid of fears, we work with another strong mental tool called visualizations. You will learn to let go of your fears and negative beliefs in the subconscious and “reprogram” yourself positively for birth. And with the help of these visualizations, we create a so called “inner space” in your mind. Why do we do this? It’s scientifically proven, that the body reacts to our imagination. Accordingly, if you imagine a place where you feel comfortable and safe the body will automatically relax, so it can open up for birth.

All these techniques are very easy to learn. And it is not important whether you are spiritually inclined or more of a rational person, these techniques are beneficial to everyone.

We also talk about how to make the best use of your body's hormones, which are also very important to experience a painless and joyful birth.

And what is part of the body formula? I teach you for example how to prevent perineal tearing. Another topic is a special nutrition, that can prevent overdue pregnancy and reduce pain during labor.

EBF covers all aspects that are important to know for birth and that you also learn in a regular antenatal class, but in addition EBF teaches you the right mental and physical strategies.

If that sounds interesting for you, I would be very happy, if you let me accompany you on this exciting journey.
