HypnoBirthing®
HypnoBirthing® – The Mongan Method is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. The concept of HypnoBirthing® is not new, but rather a “rebirth” of the philosophy of birthing as it existed thousands of years ago and as it was recaptured in the work of Dr. Grantly Dick Read, an English obstetrician.
HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven method that guides and prepares a person in giving birth in a peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful manner. It is a program that considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the birthing person, their birth partner, and the newborn, independent of context, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center.
The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition, and positive body toning. Most importantly it fosters an air of mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the healthcare provider in a traditional healthcare system or an alternative setting.

People love to take this class online. You are able to be in the coziness of your own home. This will give you the ability to start to visualize yourself in early labor or preparing for a home birth. You can eat dinner, cuddle with your older children and/or pets during the class. You also have the flexibility to take the course on the road.
We also provide make up classes, which we would not be able to offer if this was not online.
