What is HypnoBirthing®?
HypnoBirthing® is a course of 5 modules or sessions designed to prepare you for childbirth in an atmosphere of gentleness, calm and joy. The philosophy of HypnoBirthing® is to re-attribute to the mother her full power to give birth , by calling on her natural instincts and innate resources.
Using self-hypnosis, breathing techniques and visualization, you will learn to accelerate and increase the secretion of your body's natural endorphins, thus eliminating or significantly reducing the need for medication. When a woman is well prepared for birth, and when her body and mind are in harmony, nature is free to function as well as she intended.
Created by American hypnotherapist Marie F. Mongan in 1989, HypnoBirthing® is now used in 45 countries and has been chosen by celebrities such as Kate Middleton, Megan Markle, Jessica Alba and Demi Moore.
"My dream is that all women, everywhere in the world, will have the joy of giving birth safely, comfortably and satisfactorily for themselves and their babies".
Marie F. Mongan.

How does HypnoBirthing® work?
The HypnoBirthing® method teaches women to let go of any previous programming about birth, and to trust and work with their bodies. It also teaches them to free themselves from limiting thoughts and emotions that lead to fear, causing pain and muscle resistance.
With HypnoBirthing®, women rediscover their natural instinct to give birth. Mothers are aware, awake and in total control, yet deeply relaxed, as they give birth to their babies.
This method enables the birthing mother to remain rested, alert and energetic. It also contributes to the baby's proper oxygenation during birth, reduces and often eliminates fatigue, gives the birth companion a leading role and teaches breathing techniques that enable the mother to gently blow the baby into the world without the violence of hard pushing.
Who can benefit from HypnoBirthing®?
For all mothers wishing to prepare for a natural, comfortable and peaceful birth. Mother and baby must be in good health, and the pregnancy must be considered normal or low-risk. However, depending on the type of high-risk pregnancy and on medical advice, an adapted program may be proposed. To ensure the best possible chances of success, we strongly recommend that the father or a birth partner participate in the classes.
