What is HypnoBirthing?

HypnoBirthing is both a philosophy and a technique. It focuses on a rewarding, relaxing and stress-free method of birthing that allows babies to be birthed in an atmosphere of calm and joy. When a mother is properly prepared for childbirth mentally, physically and spiritually, she can experience her birth in an easier, more comfortable and often pain-free manner.

HypnoBirthing is based on the belief that severe discomfort does not need to be a natural part of childbirth.

Benefits of HypnoBirthing:

  • Fewer drugs or no drugs at all means less risk of side effects on mother and baby.
  • Shorter labors - resistance of the birthing muscles as a response to pain is minimized or eliminated.
  • An awake, energized mother, due to total relaxation throughout the birthing process.
  • A calm, peaceful birthing environment.
  • Fewer interventions and complications during labor.
  • Babies who are better sleepers and nursers
