The HypnoBirthing childbirth method was created by Marie Mongan and is based on the work of obstetrician Dr.Grantly Dick-Read. It is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a more rewarding, relaxing and stress-free method of birthing.
Giving birth by conditioning the mind and body using proven self-hypnosis techniques is becoming more widespread everyday as more women and physicians become aware of the success using this method.
HypnoBirthing teaches you, along with your birthing companion, how to release fear and tension. With the release of fear and tension, you learn that a relaxed body greatly reduces and in many cases can eliminate sensations of pain.
You will be fascinated as you view HypnoBirthing films showing laboring mothers, awake, alert and in good humor as they experience the kind of gentle birth that you, too, can know when you are free of fear.
HypnoBirthing teaches you to release all prior negative programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it. Mother and baby learn how to work in perfect harmony and balance for a more relaxed and joyful birthing experience.
Mothers and birth companions learn techniques of guided imagery and visualization as well as special methods of breathing for profound relaxation, awareness and control.
