HypnoBirthing^®
A Celebration of Life

HypnoBirthing^® – The Mongan Method is as much a philosophy of birth 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 gentility, calm and joy. When a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally, and emotionally, she can experience that sort of joy, birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable manner. This complete childbirth program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, and education, HypnoBirthing returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby in safety and with ease.

Whether you are having your first baby or want to try a new method after a previous birthing experience, HypnoBirthing can help you prepare for the best birthing experience possible. Should your labor require medical assistance, or cesarean birth, you will find the skills acquired in HypnoBirthing invaluable in achieving a fulfilling and joyful experience.

During this five week series, you and your birthing companion will learn:

• How your body, and your baby, are perfectly designed for birthing naturally and comfortably.
• Relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques to eliminate the fear and tension that impede the natural flow and ease of the birthing process.
• The creation of the body's own natural anesthesia.
• Special breathing techniques, labor positions and other comfort measures for labor.
• The importance of bonding with your preborn baby.
