HypnoBirthing® - Natural Childbirth Preparation
....................................................................................................

“My dream is that every woman, everywhere, will know the joy of
a safe, satisfying birth for both her baby and herself—one she’ll not
need to forget.”
- Marie Mongan, Founder of HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method

Congratulations on your pregnancy! HypnoBirthing® is not only a wonderful way to peacefully bring your baby into the world – it is also a wonderful way to celebrate your pregnancy and new life journey!

Unlike many methods of childbirth preparation which teach parents-to-be how to “endure” childbirth, HypnoBirthing® is unique in that it teaches the expectant mother and her birth companion how to utilize the benefits of hypnosis to achieve her desired birth experience.

Hypnosis is a state of extraordinary relaxation – a relaxation that is mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. Imagine the beauty of welcoming your child into the world with that kind of calm and confidence. All over the world, women are doing just that, experiencing the advantages of HypnoBirthing® to celebrate the journey into motherhood by embracing this rewarding, relaxing approach to childbirth.

When a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally and spiritually, she can experience the joy of birthing her baby in an easier, gentler, more assured manner. HypnoBirthing® provides a practical program of preparing for the birth of your child through relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques which can help you to use your own natural birthing instincts to birth your baby in a gentler and more comfortable manner. Using techniques such as guided imagery, visualization and special breathing, you will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed and peaceful, throughout your baby’s birth.

Advantages of 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.
• Reduces fatigue during labor, leaving mother fresh, awake, and with energy for actual birthing.
• Promotes special bonding of mother, baby, and birthing companion.
• Fosters more rapid postnatal recovery.
