HypnoBirthing®: The Natural Way to Childbirth

---

HypnoBirthing is a relaxing, stress-free method of childbirth preparation using self-hypnosis, relaxation techniques, and positive affirmations to help couples have more comfortable and sometimes pain-free birthing experience. It is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world naturally and gently in atmosphere of calm and joy. 

The Mongan Method is a premium childbirth education program that considers the psychological, as well as the physical well-being of the mother, birth partner, and newborn, independent of context, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center.

Classes are taught by certified educators qualified to teach the HypnoBirthing method to pregnant persons and their partners, and can also provide support and guidance during pregnancy and childbirth. 

There are numerous benefits that birthing persons and parents gain from HypnoBirthing. 

Data from the HypnoBirthing Institute between 2005-2010 show that:

• 77% of HypnoBirthing parents who birthed vaginally did so without epidural anesthesia
• 45% of HypnoBirths happened in eight hours or less
• 17% of HypnoBirthing parents birthed via cesarean-section, compared with the national average of 33%
• 9.5% of HypnoBirthing parents chose to birth in the comfort of their homes (the national average is less than 1%)
• 6% of HypnoBirthing parents chose to birth in freestanding birth centers (the national average is less than 1%)

HypnoBirthing is a safe and effective childbirth method for all ages and all types of pregnancies. 

This series is for pregnant couples between 16-35 weeks gestation, as well as: 

• First-time parents
• Experienced parents wanting a better birth experience
• Birthing persons with previous caesareans & wanting a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC)
• Partners/spouses who want to know how to be a supportive birth companion
• Partners/spouses are encouraged to attend classes with the birthing person. Doulas and other birth companions are also welcome to attend with advanced notice.

If you are very near to your birthing time, or have a special circumstance, please contact us as soon as possible about making special arrangements for individual classes with you.
