Creating Positive Birth Experiences

HypnoBirthing® is a natural approach to a safe, easier, more comfortable birthing. By learning to release fear and consequently releasing physical tension, the birth experience can be gentle and empowering. This is a program of childbirth preparation which gives you practical techniques, exercises, and guidance, to relax your mind in order to let your body do its job. The course is designed in a workshop format. Each of the five sessions includes dynamic practice as well as the important information and tips that you need about pregnancy and birth. We teach a range of relaxation techniques such as guided imagery, breathing, meditation, birthing positions, and touch. In addition we focus on communication- with yourself, your baby, your family, and with your caregivers. You and your partner will learn to focus inwards, to trust your body and your baby. You’ll have a chance to work through fears and to reexamine your perception of birth. Our HypnoBirthing Educators are active professionals in the field of birth and bring their experience to each lesson. The result of the course is that participants feel empowered and are ready to handle the excitement of birth and the birth setting while staying focused and present in the moment as the birth unfolds.
