Teaching mothers and birth companions techniques
for safe and satisfying birthing through guided imagery,
visualization, and special breathing.
"My dream is that every women, everywhere,
will know the joy of a safe, satisfying birth for
both her baby and herself - one she'll not need to forget."
Marie F. Mongan, 1999
The
HypnoBirthing_® Advantage
HypnoBirthing® is a relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on
the belief that all babies should come into the world in a gentle, calm
manner. Through a comprehensive training program of deep relaxation, guided
imagery, breathing exercises, self-hypnosis and birthing education, a mother
and her birthing companion learn the necessary tools to birth baby in a way
that is more comfortable and often pain-free. HypnoBirthing® returns a woman
to the art of birthing that allows her to summon her natural birthing
instincts and to birth her baby with safety and ease.
- Eliminates the
Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during and after birthing
- Eliminates or greatly
reduces the need for chemical pain killers
- Shortens the first stage of labor
by several hours
- Eliminates fatigue during
labor, leaving the mother fresh, awake and with energy for actual birthing
- Eliminates risk of
hyperventilation from "shallow" breathing methods
- Promotes special bonding
of mother, baby and birthing companion
- More rapid postnatal
recovery
- Returns birthing to the
beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended
- Creates a more integral
role for the birthing companion
HypnoBirthing® often eliminates the need for chemical anesthesia,
episiotomies and other medical interventions. By deeply relaxing all of the
muscles involved in the birthing process, the labor and delivery time are
often significantly reduced.
During the HypnoBirthing® process, self-hypnosis is used to reach a deep state
of relaxation and redirected focus. The mother is conversant, in good spirits,
and fully in control, but her body and the muscles involved in the birthing
process are deeply relaxed.
Parents' Quotes about HypnoBirthing®
"HypnoBirthing®
gave me a most priceless gift--that of fearless childbirth."
"When it was time for my baby to be born, I wasn't in the least exhausted or
worn out as I was from the other, more tiring breathing, that I used with my
first baby."
"I told myself that all I would feel is pressure--just the pressure--and it
worked. Throughout the entire birthing, that's the most that I did feel, and
with not a drop of anesthesia."
"My parents saw the video of my birthing and they couldn't believe that I was
even in labor."
"Nothing can describe the beauty of our birthing experience with HypnoBirthing®.
I never dreamed after having two children with the other method that I could
have that easy a labor."
"Our daughter came into this world so much easier than either of us could ever
have hoped for. With Godspeed, keep up the good work of HypnoBirthing®."
"When I hear women talk about how horrific their birthings were, I only wish
that they had known what I know--thanks to HypnoBirthing®."
"My wife's first labor was a nightmare. I was skeptical that this one could be
any different. There aren't words enough to describe how beautiful this
birthing was."
"Our
friends laughed at us when we spoke of gentle birthing; when they saw our
film, they didn't laugh anymore."
We can see a difference in the calmness of the baby. Unlike his sisters, he is
such a content baby; and he eats and sleeps so much better."
"What a difference from the techniques that we learned from the other method.
From the very beginning of the classes, I felt we had made a wise decision. I
saw the videos of women in labor and birthing, and I knew that we, too, could
have the satisfying birth that we were seeking. Thank you for making
HypnoBirthing® happen."
