Hypnobirthing

is a complete Pregnancy and Childbirth class.  Hypnosis before, during and after pregnancy and childbirth teaches the mom and her birth partner to use natural instincts, trust in her body, release emotions and facilitate relaxation. Using hypnosis, the mom is not in a sleep or trance state, she is aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed. The state of hypnosis eliminates the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during and after labor and can shorten the first stage of labor by hours. Hypnosis allows the mom to call on her body’s own relaxant to eliminate discomfort and the need for medication.  Hypnosis promotes deep breathing techniques that help the birth and eliminates stress from the baby’s body during and after the birth. It can even help assist to turn a baby that is in a breech presentation to a more appropriate birth position.  The use of hypnosis during birth has shown to result in significantly fewer surgical births while promoting the bonding between mom, baby and birth companion. Hypnosis for Birth in a series of four 2 ½ hour classes and group and private sessions are available.
