Where it all started…

Marie-Anne Oswald - Maho Hypnose

My first experience with hypnosis is quite singular because it goes back to before I was even born. 

My mother had decided to give birth naturally with the help of hypnosis and therefore, practiced while she was pregnant with me, her first child. 


My paternal grandfather, a curious and pioneering general practitioner, had trained in hypnosis as a natural method of dissociation from pain. At the time, it was a daring gamble and yet it was a successful one. 


For my birth and that of my two brothers, my mother was able to dissociate herself from the pain of the contractions and give birth of her three children completely naturally. 


When I learned that I was pregnant with my son, it was therefore quite natural for me to start learning about hypnotic childbirth, which is also called hypnobirthing. As I couldn’t find a suitable therapist in Zurich to accompany me, I decided to do the full hypnobirthing certification training.


The well-being I experienced with hypnosis, the confidence and serenity that became even more anchored day after day, the powerful bond with the baby that was intensifying… all these good resources allowed me to manage the hormonal changes, to have the natural childbirth that I wanted, and last but least to witness my own rebirth in many areas of my life… (to be continued!)
