HypnoBirthing®
HypnoBirthing® is as much as a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentility, calm, and joy.
When a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally, and spiritually, she can experience that sort of joy, birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable and often even pain free manner. Through a well thought out program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, and education, HypnoBirthing® returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and birth her baby in safety with ease. HypnoBirthing® is based on the belief that severe discomfort does not need to be a natural accompaniment of birthing.
