What is HypnoBirthing®?

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's philosophy is based on birthing as it was practiced in ancient times - A Celebration of Life! It is presented in a series of five, 2 1/2-hour classes or a series of four, 3-hour classes.

"If we hope to create

a non-violent world

where respect and kindness

replace fear and hatred...

We must begin with how

we treat each other

at the beginning of life

For that is where

our deepest patterns are set.

From these roots

grow fear and alienation....

- or love and trust
