Female Health Hypnotherapy

Welcome

At Female Health Hypnotherapy, I provide evidence-based hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques to support your overall well-being. My aim is to help you create personalised strategies that enhance health, resilience, and emotional balance throughout all stages of life.

These mind-body techniques can be particularly helpful during significant transitions, such as fertility journeys, pregnancy, and menopause. They may also offer support for managing chronic conditions like persistent pain, IBS, vulvodynia, and other long-term health challenges.

I invite you to explore the website and discover how hypnotherapy and mindfulness can complement your wellness routines. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact me.

I’m here to support you in finding the approach that works best for you.

Warmly,

Heather

Promoting well-being

Incorporating regular mind-body practices, such as mindfulness, into your daily routine can have a positive impact on your mood and overall well-being. Mindfulness helps you stay present in the moment, reduce stress, and improve emotional balance, offering a sense of calm and clarity in your everyday life.

Pelvic Pain Issues

Persistent pelvic pain can be distressing, debilitating and challenging to treat. It includes conditions such as vulvodynia, endometriosis, adenomyosis, painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis), chronic urinary tract infections and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. For some women, the pain can be so severe that it impacts all aspects of their lives.

Whilst it is vital to address underlying physical factors, it is now widely recognised that the most effective approach to persistent pain management is holistic, supporting both the body and the mind. This may include the use of hypnotherapy and mindfulness.

By learning how to soothe the nervous system, reframe pain perception, and develop positive pain-management strategies, women can feel more empowered and regain a sense of control.

If you are interested in incorporating hypnotherapy and mindfulness into your pain-management plan, please contact me.

To provide further support, I have also written an evidence-based book, drawing on my expertise as a nurse and hypnotherapist, alongside my personal experience of a chronic pain condition called vulvodynia. This comprehensive, mind-body toolkit provides guidance on treatment options, self-care strategies, and pain-management techniques.

The Fertile Body Method

As an accredited Fertile Body Method Practitioner (FBM), I support women and their partners through their fertility journey, using specific hypnosis and mind-body approaches.

Please contact me for further information about this program.

Hypnobirthing

KGHypnobirthing is an effective, evidence-based technique that helps you to give birth calmly, gently, and in greater comfort.

This in-depth antenatal training programme teaches women and their birthing partners about how the female body works during pregnancy and labour, providing useful information, relaxation techniques, and breathing exercises. The course is designed to enable you to release any fears and build confidence and self-trust, enabling you to look forward to your baby’s birth.

In order to meet your individual needs, I offer a range of different programmes to suit you. I work with individual couples in your own home to deliver a tailored service, ensuring you are fully prepared for your birth and beyond.

Perimenopause and Menopause

Menopause can be a challenging phase for many women, with common symptoms including hot flushes, intimate dryness or discomfort, mood changes, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping. Research suggests that hypnotherapy may offer a supportive approach to managing these symptoms (North American Menopause Society).

At Female Health Hypnotherapy, I offer a holistic and personalised menopase program to support your well-being during this transitional time. This program can complement any treatment plan you are receiving from your healthcare provider

Preparing positively for surgery

Surgery can understandably bring about feelings of anxiety and mixed emotions. It’s natural to have concerns before and after a procedure. However, there are techniques that may assist in managing these emotions and supporting your overall well-being during the process.

Research suggests that relaxation techniques, such as mindfulness, hypnotherapy, visualisation, and breathing exercises, may reduce anxiety and improve the experience of surgery. These methods can be applied both before and after surgery to promote a calmer, more positive mindset.

Note: While these techniques may support well-being, they should not replace medical advice or treatment. Always consult with a healthcare professional for guidance regarding your specific needs.

Overcoming fear and anxiety around medical procedures

For some women, fear, anxiety, or embarrassment surrounding intimate medical procedures can create significant barriers to accessing essential healthcare, such as cervical screening or necessary medical treatments. This can lead to delayed diagnoses and untreated conditions, impacting overall well-being.

Hypnotherapy and evidence-based coping strategies can help women approach these procedures with calmness and confidence, reducing distress and improving their ability to access care comfortably. These techniques can be equally effective for other medical procedures, including blood tests, MRIs, and examinations, helping to regulate the nervous system and foster a sense of control.

Your health should never be compromised by fear. Support is available to help you feel more at ease and empowered when facing medical procedures.
