Taking the birthing world by calm!

HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Classes

 

 

More comfortable birthing.....

in a way that most mirrors nature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

HypnoBirthing prepares and empowers you with confidence so that you can experience birthing your baby with calm, relaxed expectation and joy.  Regardless of the length of your labor, the skills you’ll learn and practice will allow you to remain comfortable, relaxed and energized throughout. This means that when it is time for your baby to be born, you will be fully aware and involved.

HypnoBirthing®  is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education, enhanced by self-hypnosis techniques. HypnoBirthing® provides the missing link that allows women to use their natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more comfortable birthing. Emphasis is placed on pregnancy and childbirth, as well as on pre-birth parenting and the consciousness of the pre-born baby.  It is presented in a series of five, 2 1/2-hour classes or a series of four, 3-hour classes.

 

Here's just some of what you will learn:  

  • The basic physiology of birth: how the uterus functions and the adverse effect fear has upon the chemical and physiological responses of your body.

 

  • How the mother's body is designed to work in harmony with nature… understanding that when your mind is free of fear and tension your body can be free of pain and will function as it was created to do.

 

  • How to free your mind of fear and tension so that the birth of your baby can be the beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended. 

 

  • How to thoroughly prepare psychologically and physically for having the best possible experience of childbirth.

 

  • The importance of remaining relaxed and calm and managing situations that unsettle you and stress you out - a skill that will not only ensure a calm and gentle birth, but bring calm into your everyday life.

 

  • How to identify emotional stress and release it before your baby’s birth.

 

  • The importance of the words you use, and the significance of your beliefs around pregnancy and birthing.

 

  • How to use simple but effect techniques including visualization, self hypnosis, special breathing exercises, relaxation and other techniques that will produce a shorter, more comfortable birth experience. 

 

  • How to create and control the body's own natural relaxant.

 

  • Where the myths that pain must accompany normal birthing came from.

 

  • Why women in other cultures birth their babies almost entirely free of discomfort.

 

  • How you and your birthing companion can create a birthing environment that is calm, serene, and joyful rather than tense or stressful and the importance of bonding with your baby before and after birth.
