Birth has the potential to be a calm, powerful, and deeply positive experience, however, fear and tension can impact the birthing body.

With HypnoBirthing, you’ll learn how shifting your mindset can support a smoother, more efficient labor. You’ll practice simple, effective self-hypnosis techniques that help quiet the mind, release fear, and create a sense of safety in the body. You’ll also learn specific breathing techniques designed to support each phase of labor—from early waves to the birthing phase. These tools and techniques help you stay relaxed, conserve energy, and work in harmony with your body’s natural rhythms.

With this approach, you’re not just preparing for a specific kind of birth—you’re preparing to meet whatever comes with calm, strength, and trust.

What You’ll Learn:

• The physiology of labor and how birth works in the body
• The impact of fear, stress, and environment on labor progress
• Breathing techniques for different phases of labor
• Deep relaxation and self-hypnosis for comfort and focus
• Partner support techniques including touch, language, and advocacy
• How to navigate interventions and communicate with your care team
• Birth preferences and informed decision-making tools (B.R.A.I.N.S.)
• Techniques for optimal baby positioning and smoother labor
• Immediate bonding, breastfeeding, and the early postpartum period

These easy to learn techniques were developed by Marie Mongan in 1989. They are now taught worldwide in over 45 countries and can be utilized in any birth setting. Whether you are planning your birth in a hospital, birthing center, or at home, HypnoBirthing techniques can support you.
