“My dream is that every woman, everywhere, will know the joy of a safe, satisfying birth for both her baby and herself—one she'll not need to forget.”

Marie F. Mongan, 1999

HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education Classes

HypnoBirthing Education

One HypnoBirthing® course consists of five, 2 ½ hour classes taught over a five week period. Both group and private classes are available.

HypnoBirthing can be of benefit at any stage of pregnancy and can enable you to have the best possible birth. It is recommended that classes be taken by the beginning of the third trimester, but earlier is perfectly fine. The goal is for you and your birth companion to have time to practice the techniques involved and build on your positive birth expectations. It is never too late to start and even a late introduction is better than nothing at all.
