What is HypnoBirthing®

HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. This amazing program teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. You will learn how to call upon your body’s own natural relaxant and thus lessen, or even eliminate, discomfort and the need for medication. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when mind and body are in harmony, Nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all animal mothers in Nature.

Marie F. Mongan, founder of HypnoBirthing

“If you change the way you view birth, the way you give birth will change”

HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven method that guides and prepares a woman in giving birth in a peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful manner. It is a program a that considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the mother, her birth partner, and the newborn, independent of context, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center.

The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition and positive body toning. Most importantly it fosters an air of mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the health-care provider.

Birth partner

The birth partner can be your partner, but also your mother, sister, friend or doula. During the program a lot of information and tools are provided for the birth partner.

Instead of your partner being a helpless onlooker, they become a central part of the birthing process, helping you to stay calm and focussed on the techniques you’ve been taught. As a result, the partners feel proud to have been able to help, and to be an active part of the birth. Imagine how close that makes them feel to you and the baby!

As her partner you’ll learn how to support her before, during and after giving birth. You can make sure she and the environment are as calm and relaxed as possible, wherever the birth may take place. You’ll learn how to communicate with the medical staff – when to question, what to ask…and when it’s time to let them take charge.
