Hypnotherapy helps saved by the bell star overcome anxiety during pregnancy
by William Hobson
Former star of Saved By the Bell Tiffani Thiessen found help in overcoming anxiety during her pregnancy via hypnotherapy, reports online celebrity news blog All Voices.
Earlier this week, Thiessen gave birth to her first child, her daughter Harpen Renn Smith. Thiessen is best known in the UK for her role as Kell Kapowski in the hit 90's sitcom Saved by the Bell, though in the US she is equally well-known for her role in White Collar, a crime-comedy drama on Fox.
Before going into labour, MSNBC's US Weekly reported that Thiessen had said she wanted to "give a girl scout effort to hypnobirthing" and use hypnotherapy in place of pain medication during the birth. Speaking to Pregnancy magazine, she said that she was "really excited about it" but that she and her husband (Actor Brady Smith) were "very, very open to however the child is supposed to come out."
Following the birth of her daughter on June 15th it seems that her initial plan had been scaled back somewhat, as instead of replacing medication, Thiessen used hypnotherapy as a complementary relaxant - overcoming anxiety and stress, rather than ignoring pain. All Voices reports that both she and her husband used hypnotherapy to help make the birth of Harper Renn as calm as possible.
