Well it's almost upon us - HypnoSummit 2.0. HypnoSummit is taking place on the weekend of 19th/20th September 2009 and it's an amazing opportunity for therapists to have access to 50+ hours of streaming live lectures from some of the most forward thinking and experienced therapists worldwide. As it's a virtual conference, there's no traffic problems, crowds or time conflicts (you get 3 weeks to watch the lectures at your leisure) and you get the opportunity to interact with presenters not only during live lectures, but also in their booths during breaks.

Here's some feedback from the last conference:

All in all, a completely fabulous learning tool. I feel completely inspired and motivated by all the styles and philosophies of the presenters

This year I am pleased to confirm that I will be presenting on the topic of the psychology of giving birth. My 1 hour live lecture will be focused on helping existing therapists extend their skills and knowledge to enable them to help facilitate calm and gentle births.

Here's my description from the program of activities:

When considering the birth of a baby, many people think of the biology of birth rather than the Psychology, however birth itself is a trance state and how well someone can maintain this trance state can impact the outcome of labour. I will walk through each of the area's of consideration when helping a mum and her birth companion with their birth and I will show you how they can actually look forward to their birth day.

So, if you are already a therapist keen to hear about my lecture, (and did I mention the other 50+ hours of streaming video lectures?!) then head on over to the HypnoSummit website and sign up straight away.

Yours for calmer births, more often,

PS At the HypnoSummit I will also be giving a sneak preview and early bird discounts for my new Psychology Of Giving Birth distance learning course for care providers and existing therapists which will be launching in 2010! So sign up now to not miss out!
