What is HypnoBirthing?
HypnoBirthing is as much as philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing and calm method of birthing. This amazing program teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. It considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the mother, her birth partner, and the newborn, independent of where the baby is born, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center.
The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition and positive body toning. Most importantly it fosters an air of mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the health-care provider in a traditional health-care system or an alternative setting.
What is the benefit of HypnoBirthing?
· Teaches deep levels of relaxation to greatly reduces, or even eliminates, discomfort and the need for medication
· Empowers the birthing couple to make choices for the best interest of the laboring mother and baby
· Gives the birthing companion an integral role in the birthing
· Reduces, and often eliminates, fatigue during labor, leaving the mother alert, fresh and with energy
About HypnoBirthing Classes
Classes can be taken during any stage of pregnancy, although a lot of expectant moms start feeling more pregnant after 20 weeks. Birthing companions are encouraged to also attend the classes it helps increase their confidence and feel empowered in their ability to support the mom during birth. I understand that is sometimes not possible, so I'm happy to talk to you as a couple if there any questions.
A class series consists of 5 x 2.5 hour classes and all the materials are provided: HypnoBirthing The Mongan Method, relaxation CD, and class handouts. I support moms and their birthing companion after the classes have finished to help them if the assistance is wanted and follow up with you once your bundle of joy has arrived.
Group classes are kept small so that everyone can get individual attention and has the opportunity to participate. The option of private classes is also available if this is a more convenient for you. There is also a discount for expectant moms that have attended a Hypnobirthing class before.
“When you change the way you view birth, the way you birth will change.”
