HypnoBirthing® helps to relax the mind in order to let the body work, therefore reducing pain during the birthing process.  When this happens birth becomes more satisfying, gentler (less painful) and safer for mom and baby.  Birth is a natural physiological function.  If it doesn't hurt us to digest, breathe, or move our bodies, why does it have to hurt to birth a baby?  It doesn't.  Fear and belief make birth hurt, but as you will learn with HypnoBirthing®, pain in birth is optional.

With HypnoBirthing®, you will learn:

• an approach that sees birth is a natural physiological function that does not have to be painful
• techniques for changing the beliefs and releasing the fears that hold women back from having a gentle, pain free birth experience
• to train your mind and body to relax to let go so the body can get down to the business of birth
• to connect with your baby in a profound way, before, during and after the birth
• ways birth companions can be involved in the birth in a gentle encouraging way that supports you to remain in a relaxed state

We recommend that couples take the class early on in the pregnancy the second trimester, in order for you to practice and prepare before the birth

Included in the class is the book HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method (3rd edition) by Marie Mongan as well as a HypnoBirthing CD.
