Enjoy Your Baby’s Birth in Comfort, Joy and Love
Hypnosis can help eliminate the fear and pain of childbirth and help you achieve a very deep level of relaxation during your birthing time. Discomfort in childbirth is often due the to fear/tension/pain cycle, which creates tightness and constriction in your uterine muscles. Using hypnosis you learn to relax both mind and body eliminating fear and increasing comfort.
The goal is to help all women have the safest, easiest and most comfortable childbirth experience possible.
This is a 6 week Childbirth Preparation course that meets once a week for 3 hrs each.
It is geared toward pregnant women and their partners at any stage of pregnancy (ideally after the first trimester). You will learn self-hypnosis techniques to create a beautiful, peaceful experience, as well as learn how your mind can create natural anesthesia, the anatomy and physiology of birth, prenatal exercises, nutrition, your options for birthing, prenatal parenting as well as a birth rehearsal.
You will receive:
• Your Hypnobabies workbook
• 7 CDs for the Hypno-mom

Benefits of using hypnosis for childbirth:
• Fewer drugs or no drugs at all means less risk of side effects on mother and baby.
• Shorter labors - resistance of the birthing muscles as a response to pain is minimized or eliminated.
• An awake, energized mother, due to total relaxation throughout the birthing process.
• A calm, peaceful birthing environment.
• Breech and posterior babies can be turned using hypnosis.
• Fewer interventions and complications during labor.
• Babies who are better sleepers and nursers due to fewer drugs in their systems.
It is well worth the time to look into hypnosis for childbirth as an option, both for yourself and for your baby. It is important to remember that all drugs given to a woman in labor reach the baby in less than 5 minutes, in an adult dose, so using hypnosis techniques can help avoid them. The deep relaxation has even helped many a nervous dad to cope, as they experience hypnosis in class as well and have their own Birth Partner’s CD! In addition, the skills you will learn for relaxation and hypnosis will benefit you for the rest of your life.
