HypnoBirthing:  What is it?

HypnoBirthing® -The Mongan Method is a natural childbirth education series unlike any other.  Based on the philosophy of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, HypnoBirthing teaches that the cycle of Fear-Tension-Pain can be broken so that childbirth can be relaxed, more comfortable, and rewarding.

HypnoBirthing mothers use relaxation techniques and guided imagery to create an atmosphere of calm relaxation.  Endorphins, your body's own natural anesthesia, replace the stress hormones that contribute to the fear-tension-pain syndrome.  Awake and fully in control, your relaxed body is able to birth naturally and harmoneously - the way nature intended.  Birthing Companions are taught the same techniques as the mothers as they play an integral part in the birthing experience.  The role of the Birthing Companion is one of constant support, advocacy, and guidance; the Birthing Companion's voice becomes pivotal in the mothers relaxation.

HypnoBirthing is a complete childbirth education series.  The expectant mother and her Birthing Companion will learn about anatomy and physiology, nutrition, breastfeeding, prenatal bonding, and much more.  The relaxation techniques learned in class have an immediate impact on the pregnancy and upcoming birth as well as a lifelong impact.
