Hypnobirthing
When you change the way you view birth, the way you birth will change.
-Marie Mongan
HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method is a proven method that puts you in control to pursue your idea ideal birth experience. In this instinctual program, the psychological and physical well-being of the birthing person, birth companion, and baby are all taken into consideration. The tools and techniques acquired in HypnoBirthing® classes may be used in any birthing environment – at home, in a hospital, or at a birth center. This program cultivates mutual respect for you and your health-care provider, whether you have chosen to birth within the health-care system or home setting. The HypnoBirthing® program includes several ways of learning such as deep relaxation techniques, visualization, meditative practice, special breathing techniques, and attention to nutrition and physical well-being. You can use this method with any birthing option – unmedicated or medicated childbirth, vaginal or cesarean childbirth, and in high-risk circumstances. You are in control of setting the stage for your birthing experience. You have a choice in selecting a care provider and the environment in which you will give birth. You also have a choice in childbirth education classes to prepare yourselves for the birth of your baby!
Why Choose HypnoBirthing®?
Drama and fear surrounding childbirth dominate today’s cultural view of what is actually a normal physiological function for birthing people. This fearful mindset inhibits the natural ability to give birth comfortably and confidently. HypnoBirthing® is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education enhanced by self-hypnosis and guided imagery techniques that allow you to use your natural abilities to experience a safe, easy, and comfortable birth. With HypnoBirthing® you are simply deeply relaxed, not in a trance or asleep. You are awake, aware, and fully in control.
In a series of five confidence-building classes, you will learn what can cause labor to be painful; but more importantly, you will learn why labor does not have to be painful what you can do about it. You and your birth companion will learn about the physical and chemical changes that occur when fearful and anxious thoughts take over – and how to quickly and easily return to a calm, relaxed state. You will practice relaxation techniques in class that you will instinctively call upon at your birthing time and beyond.
These skills and techniques will continue to serve you in life.
HypnoBirthing® draws people who are searching for a way to give birth confidently and as calmly, safely, and gently as possible, whether they have chosen to birth in a hospital, a birthing center, or at home. Through a very simple program of self-hypnosis and education, healthy, low-risk women, as well as women who need medical assistance because of special circumstances, learn to dismiss fear-based stories, misinformation, and birthing myths; and they are helped to see birth as normal. You learn to trust that your body knows how to bring your baby into the world in a calm and gentle way.
The five-week series includes a HypnoBirthing® techniques textbook, relaxation audio download, and everything you need to know to reconnect with your birthing instincts and embrace your amazing birthing experience!
