Prepare for a gentle and positive birth experience with our Hypno-Natal® course in Berlin & Online. This program is designed to help you relax while getting ready for childbirth, offering a holistic approach that you won’t find anywhere else.​

 

About the method

​

Developed and taught by Lise Bartoli, a clinical psychologist and hypnotherapist with over twenty years of experience in perinatal care, Hypno-Natal® empowers future mothers to tap into their inner resources. This hypnosis method allows you to fully experience your pregnancy and childbirth while maintaining a deep connection with your baby.

How Can hypnosis help you feel more relaxed and confident?

​

Hypnosis is a powerful tool for helping you feel calmer, more grounded, and emotionally empowered during pregnancy and birth—but how exactly does it work?

At a neurological level, hypnosis shifts the brain from a state of heightened alertness (often dominated by anxiety and overthinking) into a state of relaxed, focused awareness. This state—similar to meditation or daydreaming—is called the theta brainwave state. In this deeply relaxed state, the conscious mind becomes quiet, and the subconscious mind becomes more accessible.

This is important because many of our fears, insecurities, and stress responses are stored not in the rational, thinking part of the brain (the prefrontal cortex), but in the limbic system—the part responsible for emotions and survival responses like fight, flight, or freeze.

 

When you're in hypnosis, your brain becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and new ways of thinking. This allows you to:

• Replace fear-based thoughts with feelings of calm and confidence

• Reframe painful or anxious memories from past experiences

• Strengthen self-trust and your belief in your ability to give birth

• Shift your perception of pain, helping the body relax instead of tense up

 

Because the mind and body are deeply connected, when your thoughts shift, your physical sensations change as well. Fear and anxiety often cause the body to tense up—especially in the pelvis and abdominal area—which can increase discomfort during labor. Hypnosis helps break this cycle by creating a calm mental environment that tells the body:
🧠 “You are safe.”
💜 “You are capable.”
🌿 “You can let go.”

 

This in turn triggers the parasympathetic nervous system (the body’s rest-and-digest mode), allowing muscles to soften, breathing to slow, and hormones like oxytocin and endorphins—the natural “feel-good” and pain-relieving chemicals—to flow more freely.

​

The Result? You feel more:

• Emotionally balanced

• Physically relaxed

• Connected to their body and baby

• Empowered to approach birth with trust and inner strength

 

Hypnosis helps calm the mind, relax the body, and create a deep inner knowing: “I can do this.”

Individual Support Tailored to You

​​

I offer personalized Hypno-Natal® support through four individual sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, starting from the 4th or 5th month of pregnancy. Each session focuses on a specific theme, followed by a relaxation period enriched with metaphors and symbols.

At the end of the program, you will receive a booklet and audio recordings to continue your practice at home.

​

in this program, you can look forward to engaging modules that cover breathing techniques, relaxation practices, self-hypnosis, and strategies to reduce stress and cultivate the right mindset. Immerse yourself in the transformative world of Hypno-Natal®, where you will learn to feel physically, mentally, and spiritually prepared for the journey ahead. 

I recommend that your partner attends at least the first session to experience this state of well-being and learn how to manage their emotions effectively.
