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.

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 you will learn in the HypnoBirthing® Program:
  • Relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques to eliminate fear and tension that cause long labor and pain, replacing it with confidence, calm, and comfort.
  • Other techniques to produce a shorter, more comfortable birth.
  • The creation and control of the body's own natural anesthesia.
  • The source of the myth that pain must accompany normal birthing.
  • Why women in other cultures have birthings almost entirely free of discomfort.
  • How the mother's body is designed to work in neuro-muscular harmony with nature throughout the birthing process.
  • Practice in deep relaxation during and between uterine surges.
  • The importance of prenatal and perinatal bonding.
