Hypnobirthing Childbirth Classes

Various Sunday start dates, 5 week class, 2:30-5:30pm.

HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. This amazing program teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. You will learn how to call upon your body's own natural relaxant and thus lessen, or even eliminate, discomfort and the need for medication. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all animal mothers in nature.

HypnoBirthing® will teach you the art of using your own natural birthing instincts. With HypnoBirthing® you will not be in a trance or a sleep state. You will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.
