What is HypnoBirthing? HypnoBirthing® is a philosophy and practice which empowers parents to have a stress free, comfortable, and natural birth. Through education, self-hypnosis techniques, and relaxation, a mother and her companion are given tools to have a birth that is natural for both the mother and baby.

This method was rediscovered by Marie F. Mongan based on the concepts of natural birth of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, an English obstetrician. HypnoBirthing teaches you that in the absence of fear and tension, you can have a natural birth without severe pain.

What are the advantages to HypnoBirthing?

Eliminates the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during, and after birthing. Eliminates or greatly reduces the need for chemical painkillers. Shortens the first stage of labor by several hours. Eliminates fatigue during labor, leaving mother fresh, awake, and with energy for actual birthing. Eliminates risk of hyperventilation from "shallow" breathing methods. Promotes special bonding of mother, baby, and birthing companion. Faster postnatal recovery. Returns birthing to the beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended. Creates a more integral role for the birthing companion. What will you learn in HypnoBirthing Classes?
