About HypnoBirthing
- HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing and stress-free birth.
- This amazing program teaches you, along with your birth partner, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner.
- You will learn to call upon you body's own natural relaxant, and therefore lessen, or even eliminate, discomfort and the need for medication.
- When you are properly prepared for childbirth and when the mind and body are in harmony, your body is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all mothers around the world.
- Through self-hypnosis, special breathing and visualization techniques, HypnoBirthing teaches you to release fear and to trust your body's ability to birth instinctively.
