Beat The Credit Crunch

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

In the last week, the US Federal government has bailed out two key mortgage institutions, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank has filed for bankruptcy; Meryl Lynch has been sold off to Bank of America, and stock markets around the world have been plummeting. And on the news there are comparisons to the Great Depression of 1929.

Now, I’m no financial expert, but it looks like tough times are ahead… and we already know how financially stretching it can be when you are preparing to give birth (even when times are good!)

So, we’ve decided to do our bit to help out by bringing back our popular ‘Pay What You Like’ promotion.

Yes, that’s right - we’ve listed our regular selling prices as a guide, but it really is up to you to decide what you can afford to pay for our Self Hypnosis for Childbirth MP3 programme and our Basic Self Hypnosis and Relaxation Birth Programme.

We’ll try keep this promotion running as long as we can, but reserve the right to withdraw it at any time without notice, so please order asap.

You can pay whatever you can afford, from one penny to full price (or more if you are feeling particularly flush - we won’t mind!)

Oh, and of course you still get our unconditional 30 day money back guarantee too.

Bye for now,
Heidi

Ps - You really can just pay whatever you can afford, because we would rather that you get benefit from the programme and then tell all your friends than miss out because things are tough right now. So choose the programme that is right for you and order now.

How do we compare to HypnoBirthing?

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

We had a great question on our facebook discussion board the other day from Leigh.

-> Your programme sounds very very like hypnobirthing mixed around……??

Well, it’s true that we have the same underlying philosophy as HypnoBirthing(R) - i.e. that childbirth need not be painful. We also believe that it is fear and tension which interfere with birth, causing longer labour and labour pain.

But then, this idea was not invented by HypnoBirthing(R) either. It was British obstetrician, Dr Grantly Dick-Read (1890–1959, and first president of the National Childbirth Trust here in the UK), who first proposed the idea in his 1933 book “Childbirth Without Fear”.

Now, we’re not going to knock HypnoBirthing(R), because it works, and has a lot of supporters worldwide. It is undoubtedly the best known of the hypnosis for birthing approaches using Dr Dick-Read’s philosophy.

And as Hypnotherapists ourselves, we could have saved ourselves the bother of going up against the mighty HypnoBirthing(R) empire and just paid to attend a practitioner course. That way, we could have used their name and helped mothers prepare for childbirth the “HypnoBirthing(R) way”.

But we are Cognitive Hypnotherapists by trade. And whilst traditional hypnosis techniques work well for lots of people, the cognitive approaches to hypnotherapy are being scientifically proven to work even better.

So, rather than just blindly following the herd (and wanting the best approach for our own births!), we decided to see if we could do it our way. Especially the fear removal side of things, which is at the core of the philosophy of natural birth.

Now, because of our similar philosophy, we’re pretty sure our programme would fit someone who has done HypnoBirthing(R) before, or heard good things about it.

So why would someone choose little old us instead?

Well, for starters, you can download our programme and learn at your own pace at home. With HypnoBirthing(R) you have to pay out for a HypnoBirthing(R) class to get all the fear removal stuff.

You also get personal support from experienced Cognitive Hypnotherapists (that’s us!), whereas your HypnoBirthing(R) practitioner does not even have to be a qualified hypnotherapist.

You also get a 30 day, no hassle and no quibble money back guarantee from us. Try asking your HypnoBirthing(R) practitioner for that!

Bye for now,
Heidi

Ps - our programme is now open again for May. Remember, we only have around 50 spots available each month, so if you would like to become a Blissful Birther this month, now is the best time to do it.

Welcome to Blissful Birth!

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Since giving birth to our second son on 1st February, Rob and I have changed our website around so that we can meet the increasing demand for the Blissful Birth programme worldwide.

We now offer three Blissful Birth packages to suit different needs, which are all available for immediate download. All our products are backed by a cast iron 30 day money back guarantee.

You can find out about the creation of the Blissful Birth programme and the birth of my own two boys in my birth story. But be warned - this story gets ugly!

If you are a newsletter subscriber, you can download your free self hypnosis MP3 here. You’ll need the username and password I sent you by email when you signed up to our newsletter. If you didn’t sign up or verify your subscription, please do it now.

The MP3 will give you an introduction to self hypnosis, then guide you into a nice relaxed state of hypnosis. Don’t worry if you don’t “feel hypnotised” or find you drift off and stop paying attention. People naturally go in and out of hypnosis every day, so it can feel pretty normal. And even if you drift off, the subconscious part of your mind is always listening.

Please take a moment to leave a comment with any questions or just to say hi!

Kind regards,
Heidi
