Why Choose a HypnoBirthing Course?
-
HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free birth.
-
This amazing program teaches you, along with your birth partner, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner.
-
You will learn how to call upon your body’s own natural relaxant, and therefore lessen, or eliminate, discomfort and the need for medical intervention.
-
When you are properly prepared for childbirth and when the mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all other mothers in nature.

Through self-hypnosis and special breathing visualization techniques, HypnoBirthing teaches you to release fear and to trust your body’s ability to birth instinctively.

Allow Pregnancy to Make
Your Bond Tighter
HypnoBirthing classes are the perfect place to tap into the beautiful bond between you and your partner. Our exercises will help build confidence between both parties; in the partner’s ability to provide support and the birthing person’s feeling of being supported.
These classes also provide time for parents to bond with their baby, and build positive excitement for the upcoming birth. This positivity and bonding will play into the birthing experience, where the baby is an active participant.
