Hypnobirthing: 5 Week Childbirth Preparation

Hypnobirthing is a childbirth technique developed in the United States that has seen growing popularity recently.  It teaches deep relaxation and breathing techniques and does not involve what is popularly viewed as hypnosis. 

Studies have found that women using hypnosis in labour experience:

• less discomfort
• shorter labours
• fewer medical intervention
• less postpartum depression

This class will teach you proven breathing, relaxation and visualization techniques.  Partners will learn how to guide and support their partners during the birth process.  The class includes videos of women birthing using the techniques.  This class also covers the same content as standard prenatal classes: what your body does in labour, when to go to the hospital or call your doctor/midwife, other comfort techniques and when to use medical assistance.

These classes are suitable for all expectant parents and their support persons, whether they plan to birth with a doctor or midwife, at home or in the hospital.
