How to be a Relaxed Midwife
Consultation and Training for Professionals

Continuing Professional Development

Supporting Women during pregnancy, birth and after with their babies is exhausting, to be consistently successful we must have key elements in place.

  • Notice whether we are under stress and observe how that distorts our decisions and attitudes
  • Be confident and clear about what we can do and what we cannot
  • Recognise that our thoughts can help us to feel anxious or calm
  • The biggest gift we give to ourselves is to relax and slow down , in this way we can be the Midwife we really do want to be , every shift .This day is for you to understand that you have the resources within you to manage your working day brilliantly  , you just need to know where they are so you can use them effectively. 

ON THIS DAY YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How to understand the mind and recognize with more clarity what’s really going on for you.
  •  Learn that experiencing pain in labour is not definitive of empowerment or success; find out what is.
  • What does enable you to be more positive, optimistic and relaxed and what stops you.
  • How you can make instant improvements in  your practice.
  • Insights into a Mothers perception of the birthing process in the NHS.

Research shows over and over that our attitudes and approaches alter our world around us.

YOU ARE GOING TO GET :

  • Techniques which enable you to stay in your power.
  • Tools which allow you to control previous experiences so that they don’t change your response  today.
  • Keep you energized, refreshed and enjoying the job.

About Naomi Morton RGN RM HBCE DCHYP A.certCSHyp MSBST.

I have worked as a midwife since 1987. Previously I trained as a registered nurse. Since 1989 I have cared for women throughout their pregnancy during labour and post natally. I am also an expert in Breastfeeding - teaching and training staff in Oxfordshire. I am married and have two children.

Since 1992 I have worked in a stand alone midwife led unit in Oxfordshire. I passionately believe in women and their natural ability to birth babies. I believe that every woman deserves a joyful calm and peaceful birth wherever they choose to have their babies. By teaching HypnoBirthing® I feel women will have the chance to experience a blissful birth.

In 2008 I qualified as a Hypnotherapist from the prestigious BST foundation. This has given me a diploma (distinction) and I am now an advanced practitioner in hypnotherapy. I now have a much deeper understanding in HypnoBirthing and also have a huge interest in birth trauma and fears surrounding birth. I also offer breech turning and induction of labour under hypnosis.

Eleanor and Naomi have  been working  in the NHS for 22 years apiece and   both have a  Private Practice in Somerset and Oxfordshire  where they meet with couples as birthing Hypnotherapists and  by supporting individual  clients via 1:1 sessions through issues such as anxiety , phobias , post traumatic stress disorder , and many other issues. Eleanor has been training  groups in business  to be more productive and clearer about their goals and is part of the vitality days team.

They have an abundance of skills and techniques to share with Midwives enabling them to manage stress better.
