The Doula Magazine, review

Deborah Davis

."...Gayle Peterson uses vocal intonations, symbols and visual imagery to encode messages in the body and address deep emotional concerns which affect the pregnant woman during labor and birth. Therapists, doulas, and other childbirth practitioners will learn the power of body-centered hypnosis and the techniques for reaching the unconscious, such as tonality, phrasing and embedded commands."

Rahima Baldwin, review

Educator

"Dr. Gayle Peterson is a nationally recognized pioneer in Perinatal Psychology. Those familiar her books, 'Birthing Normally' and 'An Easier Childbirth' will welcome the opportunity to see her in action. Body centered hypnosis, as developed by Dr. Peterson is a powerful technique for resolving past childbirth trauma, facilitating normal delivery, decreasing prematurity and increasing maternal-infant bonding.

Childbirth can be gratifying and empowering or devastating and traumatic to a womans psyche. This program allows a woman to explore and express her deepest needs at this important developmental milestone. This program begins where traditional education ends. Here is a truly personal preparation for childbirth, reaching emotional and unconscious depths.

- David Chamberlain, PhD, former president of APPPAH and author of "The Mind of Your Newborn Baby"

By Another Amazon Customer:

" After a 24 hour labor with 3 hours of pushing with my first I was desperate to try anything .. Everything she said came back to me during labor...get her book, "An Easier Childbirth". She has the text in there and you can make your own tape. The book is invaluable too. I just found out today that I am pregnant with #3 ..the first thing I did was get the book because I gave the original away ."

Reviews from amazon on body-centered hypnosis for childbirth:

5.0 out of 5 stars My wife used this program with great success...., January 24, 2000

By A Customer

"My wife used this program and I was able to listen and help her through the pain of contractions by using the imagery of the ocean waves making it safely to shore. It helped me, as well as her, to focus on getting through the contractions and resting, in between. I highly recommend it to all pregnant women and their partners."
