Short - Hypnobirthing & Neuroplasticity with Charlotte Mindel; how shifting your thinking can revolutionise your experience of pain

Gorgeous Listeners, welcome to this week’s episode of Finding Your Way Home,In this week's Short, we explore the profound significance of the birthing process and why a "Conscious Birth" experience is so vital to the wellbeing of both mother and child. We're joined by Charlotte Mindel; a Pre and Post-Natal birthing Coach, who's mission is to place power back into the hands of women giving birth. Charlotte works holistically with mothers and their families to support all elements of the birthing experience - from education on the physiology of pregnancy / birth to awakening internal awareness, building positive mind-set and ultimately, offering parents the agency to choose the sort of birth that's right for them. In Charlotte's view, Western birth has become a deeply disconnected experience - both for the expectant mother and within a wider society that isolates and systematises the process and prescriptions. Her focus is on connecting mothers back to their intuition, growing their resources and the self-permission to follow a path that's truly authentic. She sees birth as a marker of the person - and therefore, as an immeasurable tool to find deeper personal alignment. In this powerful excerpt we explore not only the nature and benefits of hypnobirthing but how shifts in thinking can revolutionise our experience of pain / sensation - in each and every day that we're willing to stay with, be curious, and follow the messages emanating from the body. If you're someone navigating discomfort, diagnosis or simply wanting to take greater agency in your felt experience of life, this is the episode for you.To find out more about Charlotte's work:Find her on Instagram: @embodied.birth.and.motherhoodW: www.charlottemindel.com Stay connected with the podcast:Thank you for listening; it means the world to us.
