Your Birth Story
The beginning of your life as a STARTING POINT
As a hypnotherapist and birth coach in Zwolle, I support adults with life-course questions, focusing on your or your children's birth story. The time around birth is one of life's biggest transitions, and the experiences you gain during this period can stay with you for a lifetime. I understand this period intimately and am happy to support you with your questions.
You may have questions about life, for example because you were born a single twin or because you have fallen ill due to burnout or an accident.
Perhaps you're looking for support during your pregnancy, postpartum, or with questions about parenting. You're welcome to come for good self-care, such as a pregnancy massage or a massage. You can also come for pregnancy haptonomy to prepare yourself for the arrival of your baby and prepare for labor.
Sometimes life takes a different turn. Perhaps your delivery didn't go as you'd hoped? Or was your baby born prematurely or ill? Did you have to say goodbye to your child? Processing, grieving, and loss require time, care, and attention. You're welcome to be with me, with everything that entails.
Another possibility is that you, as a parent, are fulfilling a caring role for one of your children, which has put a great deal of pressure on your family. It can be so valuable if someone knows about the daily challenges you face.
HYPNOTHERAPY
At Martine's practice
People who come to me often say, "You're not a hypnotherapist, you're just Martine." It's true that I don't really identify with a title; we're all just people.
The sessions are healing and birthing processes, which are profound and therefore (can) take time. Hypnosis gives you direct access to your subconscious, but conversation, music, or a constellation can also be part of the session.
When you can face and release old, stuck layers, you connect more deeply with yourself. This boosts your self-confidence and allows you to trust your inner compass more. My keen eye allows me to see, often through the layers, your original life energy. I do this with attention to what's there, with a love for life, and with humor where possible.
EXPERIENCES
Jasmine
Under hypnosis, I was able to return to the womb to initiate healing between me and my sister, who had died in the womb. The safety, gentleness, and closeness Martine provided during this session allowed me to connect with this feeling. I am deeply grateful for this.
