Pregnancy and Childbirth - Help during

‘First of its kind’ feedback from Emily Marynczak, a childbirth educator. She herself practices the technique, finds it useful and teaches it to her clients.

“In my work as a childbirth educator, I have been teaching different modes of ‘counting breaths’ technique to my clients. I direct my clients to practice twice a day – once in the morning and once at bedtime. I also direct them to the 'counting breaths meditation website' for further study.

Many of my clients report back that they find the techniques useful on a day to day basis, for calming themselves. I have also had at least a couple of women report back after their births that at various tough moments during their labor, they used counting breaths effectively, for pain management.

When the mind has an anchor, fear is reduced. When fear is reduced in childbirth, the sensations are much more manageable – and potentially even enjoyable.”

Training pregnant women and their partners

At the request of Emily Marynczak, two couples were trained in 30 minutes session in 2010.
