From one emotional woman to another...
This week I had my very first BRB Club meet up, and let me tell you, it's left me a bit emotional.
I set up this club as a bonus extra for anyone who asks for my support with their birth prep. Why? Because over the past 2 and a half years that I've been getting people ready for birth, there was one thing my clients kept coming back to tell me.
They missed Hypnobirthing. They really missed Hypnobirthing. Heck, the word I kept hearing over and over again was that they “mourned” Hypnobirthing.
Their Hypnobirthing sessions and practice at home had become something that they looked forward to, something that brought them comfort and something that gave them permission and time to focus on their own well-being.
So, that's exactly why I've added a bonus 6 month membership to the BRB Club to every package. I want to make sure that from here on in, nobody has a chance to miss their Hypnobirthing because they have a monthly reminder and helping hand to keep their well-being front of mind, even with a new baby!
Why was I emotional? A few reasons:
It was a chance to see the lovely faces who were part of my last in person group Hypnobirthing course, some of whom are about to meet their babies any day now! It was great to see them looking excited for what's to come and to have a chance to ease any last minute jitters.
Seeing the connections they've made with other parents-to-be completely warms my heart. Having the support of people who are at exactly the same stage and just “get it” is invaluable. I was lucky enough to have that myself, and know I wouldn't have coped so well without it.
After the session a friend text me to ask how it went. I replied “It was a wonderful way to spend an hour”. She replied, “How many people get to say that about their job?”. She's so right. I'm grateful I get to work with so many brilliant women at such a special moment in their lives.
I'd love to hear what you think you'd find helpful from this type of community as you enter into parenthood? Friendship? Advice and support? A safe place to vent about your partner? I'm kidding… kinda ;) Let me know in the comments below or send me a DM.
