HypnoBirthing  

   

"We believe that every woman has within her the power to call upon her natural instincts to bring about the best possible birthing for her baby and herself." ~ Marie F. Mongan

​

HypnoBirthing® – The Mongan Method – is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education, enhanced by self-hypnosis techniques. HypnoBirthing® provides the missing link that allows women to use their natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more comfortable birthing. Emphasis is placed on pregnancy and childbirth, as well as on pre-birth parenting and the consciousness of the pre-born baby. As a birthing method, HypnoBirthing® is as new as tomorrow and as old as ancient times. It is presented in a series of five, 2 1/2-hour classes.

 

HypnoBirthing® offers you “Class” and so much more!
