I am Charlene Yared West, the founder of the Relax Into Birth Online School, a virtual space comprising a range of prenatal education courses, including a fully comprehensive antenatal course with the Virtual Midwife, Karen Wilmot, covering the medical and physiological aspects of birth, as well as the Hypnobirthing technique for a calm birth. It is the first proudly South African Online Birth Preparation School teaching women and their partners Hypnobirthing techniques and deep relaxation methods for a more comfortable and manageable birth experience at home or at hospital, for natural or caesarean birth. ********************************************************* You see, my life in Birth Work all started with the birth of my son. I was terrified of the thought of birth - so afraid of it that I decided I wanted a caesarean birth. There is nothing wrong with this choice - but it is a problem if it comes from a place of fear. My husband and then my ob-gyn at the time told me to rather do some more research before settling on an elective caesarean upon request. I reluctantly followed their advice, quite irritated that two men were telling me to try for a vaginal birth I did not want. After a sequence of events, I came across the Hypnobirthing technique, found myself an independent midwife and consequently had a home waterbirth. I’m now a doula and teach Relax Into Birth and my whole life has changed since the birth of my son… His birth taught me so much; that my body is amazing, that women don’t have to fear birth, that women have options and should know about their options, that because I was now empowered I had to share that with others. Even though birth is the most intense thing you will ever endure – and will push you out of your comfort zone, YOU can do it. It is worth a try…. You never know until you’ve tried. Leave no room for questions or regret afterwards… Investigate the option of a Midwife, get a considerate pro-options/pronatural gynae and a doula and then if a Caesar is called at the end of it all you know it was a necessary one. Having said that, I also attend scheduled caesarean births - and help moms achieve a calm state for the abdominal births of their babies. I support birth in all shapes and forms. Birth is birth, no matter how a baby is born. ********************************************************** After the birth of my son, I knew I had to work in this field and so I went and studied a Hypnobirthing training module, as well as became a WOMBS birth doula and subsequently a WOMBS postpartum doula. I also studied Hypnotherapy and am a qualified Hypnotherapist through the Essex Institute (UK). My background and training in Journalism brought all these skills together into the Relax Into Birth Online Hypnobirthing school. I love what I do, and I love the transformations I help my clients achieve. Transformations like having the most empowering births of their lives - and birthing free from fear - and a calm acceptance of the process when plans change. Being a doula and antenatal teacher is my why, my purpose, and what makes me jump out of bed each morning. ******************************************************* Check out the Online Hypnobirthing School here: https://learn-hypnobirthing.relaxintobirth.com/ The reason I wanted to share my story with you is because I want you to know me. And I want you to know that I can help you, too. Reach out to chat about your intentions for your birth - I am here to help you get the birth that you want.

Tertia and Mike share their home birth story of Siena, their second daughter. Their first daughter India was born in hospital. "Shortly after Susan’s arrival my waters broke on the kitchen floor - I said ‘oh shit’ & started crying again (I was not in a Zen mental space). The pool was taking forever to get ready. I waddled from the kitchen to the birth pool which was only about 5 steps. Another big push came just outside the pool. I really thought I wasn’t going to make it into the water! By the time I got in, I was very off my center, breathing like a crazy person, petrified that she was just going to shoot out and tear me from top to bottom, and while I was heaving and ho-ing I felt Susan putting her hand on my arm and saying with this beautiful smiling face in this serenely calm voice, “Tertia, this is your birth.... you are in control... slow down your breathing... put your hand between your legs and feel your baby’s head... can you feel her? ...you are in control of when she comes out”. It was like a switch went off in me. The Relax into Birth affirmations and tracks I did in the lead up to my birth, day after day, just kicked in. I became so calm and totally used my breath to control the speed at which my baby came through the birth canal. Within the next minute, my baby just popped out; no tearing. The most wonderful moment was to catch her myself and bring her to my chest. India was born into a frenetic, hospital environment where, even though it was a text book natural birth, it seemed to have the emotional current of a medical emergency. My gynae/obstetrician was shouting at me to push, the nurse was shouting in my ear to push whilst pushing down on my stomach, my poor husband was completely traumatised because he was under the impression something must be going wrong or will go wrong because everyone seemed to be in a panic. I remember shouting and screaming during delivery and needing to push and push and push – the birthing environment was not mine. Siena’s birth on the other hand was such a happy event, my husband, mom, doula and midwife were there to support and be with me. I was in the comfort of my own home, feeling loved, safe, hearing people chat to each other in a happy way, excited about meeting Siena, and me in charge of my birth in a way that I never thought would be possible. The birth was mine. I am so grateful to Charlene, Gayle, Susan and the Birth Options team. The Relax into Birth course and these amazing women held me throughout my birthing experience. We all have the snake charming ability in us, it just needs to be awakened. The mental preparation through the course, combined with these ladies’ belief in my ability & their absolute faith in the woman’s ability to birth in an empowering way is what made this experience such a healing one for me. It is such a gift. I am eternally grateful."

Pip and Josh share their New Zealand birth story and Pip shares how she overcame her extreme anxiety so that she could birth without fear - and birth without fear she did! "You couldn't have come at a better time for me as the anxiety was getting the better of me as time progressed. I remember around 26 weeks in tears at my midwife appointment feeling completely overwhelmed and not knowing what to expect. I spoke to my dear friend Felicity Meek who put me in touch with you. As soon as I started listening to your affirmations and then doing your course from around 33 weeks my mind set started to change and I began to relax! Your course allowed me to understand the process but in a way that wasn't scary but beautiful, something to look forward and that my body was going to do it. I had no idea how powerful hypnobirthing could be, but it was the best thing I could have done to prepare myself. I can not thank you enough Charlene - you are incredible and what an amazing birthing experience you and your course have given me."

Dr Frances Straeuli and her husband, Dr Chris Straeuli share their birth story and the tools that helped them on their journey to meeting their baby girl Sienna Ruth. "It was a Saturday morning around 9.30 and I had just finished having some breakfast. As I got up to start my day I felt a small gush of water. Naturally, as every mom who's ever had their waters break I thought to myself "this is it. I've now reached the part of pregnancy where I am incontinent" a few moments after that on my way to the loo, a bigger gush! That's when I realised (initially feeling relieved that I hadn't peed my pants, which was quickly taken over by fear) what was actually happening. I had ruptured membranes too early! I was only 34 weeks pregnant. My husband, Chris, was working that weekend. A few hours in to a 12 hour shift in ICU. Feeling panicked and trying to remain calm, I called him to let him know I was about to leave for the hospital. I packed a useless bag which included panties and my toothbrush. I was just so frazzled and wanted to get to the hospital ASAP to make sure she was OK." Chris met me at the hospital, by around 10am I was about 1cm dilated and was having mild contractions. Her CTG was looking good, she was head down and I was happy to allow labour to progress. My fear and panic now replaced with calm and excitement! I was going to meet my girl! I walked around my room, leaned on the bed, swayed, bounced on the ball. I had my essential oils diffusing and my own gown on (by this stage a neighbour had packed a bag and dropped it off for us as Chris was not allowed to leave the hospital) which helped me to feel more comfortable by creating familiarity in my immediate environment. With each surge I would direct Chris to where I needed support on my body and he knew exactly what to do. A lot of hip squeezing and lower back massage. I would focus on my surge breathing and go to my safe space. A beautiful, peaceful spot at the beach. At around 3pm I felt like there was a shift. I could feel myself needing a change in focus and that I needed to lie down. I listened to my body. I asked for pain relief (thinking, epidural) and the midwife passed me the nitrous while they did another check on me and the baby. I was now well into active labor! A slight curveball here, however, was that my COVID test from the admission swab had come back positive! I was shocked! But I knew that I couldn't allow distraction at that point. The next few hours felt a blur. The surges intensified and I never let go of the nitrous, though it made me feel quite giddy and I did vomit, it really worked! Chris was right by my side, with each surge he was speaking to me in my ear, affirming me, taking me to my safe space by describing what it sounded like, looked like, felt like to sit at the waters edge and watch the waves roll in. A few weeks before I went into labour we had taken leave and we had sat at my favorite spot while I listened to the "safe space" track. Inbetween describing my safe space, he would count to help me take smooth breaths while using the nitrous: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in....1, 2, 3, 4, 5 out. Anytime I started to feel panicky he could hear the change in my breathing and he would start to count. That counting was my lifeline. I had the nitrous in one hand and him in the other. The surge breathing and safe space visualization helped me to keep my jaw and body relaxed and to let the surges wash over me, knowing that I was so close to meeting my girl. Next thing I knew, a delivery pack was being opened and a NICU sister had entered the room. It was time! The delivery was the most difficult part. A painful pressure that is incomparable to any other pain I had ever experienced. I kept thinking "I can't do this!" but Chris and my gyne / midwife team would keep reminding me "you can! You're doing it!" After about 20 minutes of pushing our girl had arrived. Absolutely surreal. I couldn't take it all in! We had a little bit of skin to skin and snuggle time after which she was taken to the NICU. COVID really creating havoc and I could sense the unease around me from the staff (apart from my gyne and midwife who were absolutely fantastic!) Our Sienna Ruth was here.. I had done it! ******************************************************************* Enroll for the home-study Relax Into Birth Online course here: https://learn-hypnobirthing.relaxintobirth.com/ ******************************************************************* Check out the Relax Into Birth Online Hypnobirthing course info here: https://relaxintobirth.com/​ ******************************************************************* Visit this link for your free download of breathing techniques here: https://relaxintobirth.com/shop/​ *******************************************************************

Tracy and Ryan Flowers share their birth story and the tools that helped them on their journey to meeting their baby girl Adelaide. "As a doctor, I always imagined I would want a caesar, but then I fell pregnant and everything changed. There's no doubt that the course and the preparation really made it such a wonderful event for us. We went into the birth feeling confident, calm and peaceful despite doing all this through Covid-19," says Tracy. "Relax Into Birth helped me to normalise birth through daily listening to the hypnobirthing tracks. When I was in labour, I used the tools I had learnt about breathing, relaxation and visualisation, which all helped me keep calm. The surges felt so manageable and the techniques helped us both so much." Ryan Flowers, new dad and husband to Tracy also shared his perspective; "As a very inexperienced dad, the course gave me ultimate confidence and preparedness for the birth. I found the partner tracks incredibly handy, which helped me know mentally what was to come and from a practical point of view, I enjoyed learning massage techniques and learning what to say and what not to say in the labour room," he says. "I also used the course as a resource I could go back to anytime. Speaking to other dads who hadn’t done the Relax Into Birth course, I realised they had quite a different mindset on birth." ******************************************************************* Enroll for the home-study Relax Into Birth Online course here: https://learn-hypnobirthing.relaxinto... ******************************************************************* Check out the Relax Into Birth Online Hypnobirthing course info here: https://relaxintobirth.com/ ******************************************************************* Visit this link for your free download of breathing techniques here: https://relaxintobirth.com/shop/ *******************************************************************
