HypnoBirthing Workshops

HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. The concept of HypnoBirthing is not new, but rather a "rebirth" of the philosophy of birthing as it existed thousands of years ago and as it was recaptured in the work of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, an English obstetrician, who, in the 1920s, was one of the first to forward the concept of natural birthing. The method teaches you that, in the absence of fear and tension, or special medical circumstances, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor.

You Will Learn:

Relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques to eliminate the fear and tension that cause long labour and pain, replacing it with confidence, calm and comfort.
Techniques to produce a shorter, more comfortable labour.
The creation and control of the body's own natural anaesthesia.
The source of the myth that pain must accompany normal birthing.
Why some women in other cultures have birthings almost entirely free of discomfort.
How the mother's body is designed to work in neuromuscular harmony with nature throughout labour.
Practice in deep relaxation during and between uterine surges.
The importance of perinatal bonding.

Class Structure

All HypnoBirthing® Classes are taught in a format of five 2.5 hour small-group classes, conducted on a once-weekly basis. The classes are informal and relaxed and provide a special opportunity to connect with Yourself, Your Baby, Your Birthing Companion and Your Birth.

Individual Sessions

If you prefer individual support or you are very near to your birthing time, we can make special arrangements for individual sessions with you.

When is a good time to start?

Many women choose to start their HypnoBirthing® sessions in the beginning of the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. The more time you have to practice the methods the better. Even if you are very late in your pregnancy, HypnoBirthing® can still help you.
