  • HypnoBirthing® for Natural Birth OR Calm Birth

    HypnoBirthing® – The Mongan Method is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. Hypnobirthing is a birthing method that uses self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques to help a laboring soon-to-be parent feel physically, mentally and spiritually prepared and reduce her awareness of fear, anxiety and pain during childbirth. This class teaches participants to practice and use a combination of music, visualization, positive thinking and words to relax the body and control sensations during labor. Participants receive a HypnoBirthing book, course binder as well as HypnoBirthing tracks to download.
