“Preparing to welcome a baby is a life changing experience, not just through pregnancy and birth, but for the rest of your lives. HypnoBirthing offers a remarkably simple, relaxed approach to this most important transition, as you step into your role as parents and, together, become a family”  Marie F. Mongan

HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of calm and joy. When a mother is prepared for birthing physically, mentally, and spiritually, she can experience the joy of birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable manner. Through a well thought-out program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, and education,  HypnoBirthing returns to a woman the art of birthing that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby in calmness and safety.

• Eliminates the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before during and after birthing.

• Reduces and often eliminates the need for chemical anaesthesia, episiotomy, and other interventions.

• Lessens fatigue during labour.

• Shortens the thinning and opening phase of the labour and reduces the risk of pelvic floor damage.

• Brings the mother, baby and birthing companion together in a wonderful pre, peri and postnatal bonding experience.

• The birthing companion is an integral part of the birthing, not just an onlooker.

Classes are held on a regular basis throughout the year and consist of two consecutive Saturday  or Sunday mornings. The duration of the workshop is 8-10 hours in total and costs $500 per couple. This fee includes a copy of "HypnoBirthing The Mongan Method 3rd edition" as well as class notes, CD’s and morning tea and light refreshments.
