New Course: Clinical Hypnosis for Pregnancy and Childbirth

London Saturday 6th / Sunday 7th February and Saturday 6th / Sunday 7th March 2010

Cheshire   Sat. 25th / Sunday 26th September and Sat.  23rd / Sunday 24th October 2010

This 4 day course, in association with Thames Medical Lectures, is run by Ursula James, a renowned hypnotherapy lecturer, practitioner, author and media personality.


Students who successfully complete the course are awarded a certificate to practise hypnotherapy in maternity care from Thames Medical Lectures. This course is distinctly different from other courses claiming to prepare professionals to practise 'hypnosis' for pregnancy and childbirth; Expectancy's course prepares midwives, doctors, health visitors, hypnotherapists, doulas, antenatal educators and complementary practitioners to make justifiable judgements about appropriate and safe hypnosis protocols for individual pregnant and labouring mothers. We are currently negotiating with the University of Greenwich for academic accreditation.

Pre-requisites: Midwifery, nursing or medical qualification OR subject to prior completion of Caring for Pregnant Clients course or Maternity Support Therapist programme. Please note: Hypnotherapists & psychotherapists who are not midwives will be required to complete the Caring for Pregnant Clients course (by distance learning – £150 if booked with Hypnosis course) or produce documentary evidence of recent academic study of pregnancy physiology and an understanding of the conventional maternity services. Fees: £550 

Special Offer
20% discount for applications received and paid for in full before 31st July 2009: £440

Maintain Healthy Blood Pressure

help: blood pressure from Works With Water Nutraceuticals is a proprietary formulation incorporating dairy peptides (milk protein) which naturally occur in dairy foods and are clinically proven to help maintain healthy blood pressure by preventing the constriction of blood vessels.[1]


Studies have shown that 0.75g per day of hydrolysed milk protein is sufficient to show clinically relevant effects in both hypertensives and mild hypertensives. Each 4g sachet of help: blood pressure contains 0.38g of Dairy Peptides which contributes half of the required daily dose. It is recommended that help: blood pressure is consumed twice a day for a minimum of four weeks in conjunction with a healthy diet and a reduced salt intake.

The majority of us will suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) at some point during our lifetime.  There are many factors that can lead to elevated blood pressure levels such as poor lifestyle or simply genetic predisposition, but one of the most common is the restriction of blood vessels triggered by the hormone angiontensin 11. ACE[2] causes blood vessels to constrict and narrow, effectively raising blood pressure.

Developed specifically for those with mild hypertension, help: blood pressure acts as a natural blocker of this reaction.  When the restriction is inhibited, elevation of blood pressure can be prevented and kept at a healthy level.

Available in a flavourless soluble powder that can be added to any hot or cold drink or soft food of choice, help: blood pressure is free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives and is suitable for vegetarians, diabetics and those who are lactose intolerant.

help: blood pressure contains only naturally derived, non-prescription ingredients; dairy peptides (0.38g) and Oligofructose (3.62g), which is a natural source of soluble fibre.

help: blood pressure is not intended for use as a replacement for medication that is prescribed in hypertension treatment.  There are no adverse side effects and whilst it is effective in helping control elevated blood pressure it does not adversely affect normal blood pressure.

Further Information
Please call the customer Helpline on Tel: 0844 415 4423;  www.workswithwater.co.uk

Notes
1. Dairy peptides have been evaluated in more than 20 clinical studies which cited that the ingredient is effective in lowering elevated blood pressure and maintaining it at healthy levels.
2. Angiotensin converting reaction –  'ACE'

The Association for Meridian & Energy Therapies (The AMT)

Life Without Panic Attacks
by Nicola Quinn
Published by Dragon Rising. 2008. Softback. £16.10.  ISBN: 1-873483-95-3


Members of The AMT (Association for Meridian & Energy Therapies –  http://TheAmt.com) in the UK have noticed a dramatic increase in the number of clients attending therapy sessions because of anxiety, stress and in more severe cases, Panic Attacks. This has been directly related to the Credit Crunch and personal money worries.
 
Nicola Quinn, author of Life Without Panic Attacks and a Director of The AMT explains "For sufferers of panic attacks, the focus is always on the future. And now with the economic uncertainties there are new What Ifs to add to the pot. What if I can't keep up my house repayments, what if I lose my job, what if I can't afford to feed my children, what if my electricity is cut off. Fearing the future will not stop it happening. In fact the more fear you have the more stressed you will be which makes clear thinking and good decision making impossible."
 
The book chronicles Nicola's steps that she took to overcome 15 years of panic attacks and can be used to help sufferers to change their lives for the better. An estimated 12 million people in the UK suffer from panic attacks, a number that has continued to grow in this recession.
 
AMT Practitioners can be found in 21 countries around the world. EFT, the most popular Energy treatment for panic attacks works just like acupuncture, but instead of needles you 'tap' with your fingers on the meridian energy points.
