“Enjoy Your Baby’s Birth, in Comfort, Joy and Love”

Hypnobabies is a complete childbirth education course that also teaches Gerald Kein’s famous Painless Childbirth techniques to Hypnobabies mothers so that they can enter hypnosis, deepen it themselves and remain mobile during your birthing time (labor), completely comfortable at all times. Our Hypno-babies have no drugs in their systems when they are born, and are able to nurse, breathe well and interact with their happy parents immediately.

We know that all change comes from within, and that hypnosis is a very powerful tool for creating new belief systems and powerful physical effects, so we simply help women and their partners learn to empower themselves in this wonderful way for their baby’s birth.

The amazing benefits of a Hypnobabies Birth:

Relaxed Mom and Dad throughout pregnancy, birthing time, and birth. Both parents participate in the Hypnosis and Fear Release sessions, providing them with a sense of calm and confidence.
Shorter birthing times due to lack of resistance in the birthing muscles.
Fewer complications and interventions, as the body and mind stay completely relaxed during your birthing time. Posterior and Breech babies can be turned with hypnosis as well.
Fewer drugs or no drugs at all, means less risk of harmful side effects for mother and baby.
Elimination of the Fear/Tension/Pain Syndrome. CDs and scripts are used during your birthing time to effect post-hypnotic suggestions for elimination of discomfort and relaxation.

Many of our birthing mothers who use Hypnobabies experience only pressure or tightening sensations during birth. They have their babies in a state of deep relaxation, with little or no discomfort or fear using real hypno-anesthesia. Discomfort in childbirth can be the result of the Fear/Tension/Pain Cycle (Syndrome). This begins with Fear, which produces tension in the body, which creates tightness (Tension) and constriction of the uterine muscles, which results in Pain. In Hypnobabies classes, you will learn how to relax both the mind and body, eliminating fear and therefore pain, as well as create hypnotic anesthesia, remain mobile during hypnosis and use post-hypnotic suggestions for ease of birth, recovery and breastfeeding if you so choose.

Did you know?

There are people that have life-threatening allergies to anesthetics who successfully undergo medical and dental surgery with hypnosis as their only anesthesia! If hypnosis can create effective pain elimination for surgeries of all kinds, we know it can work for childbirth, and it does quite well. Your mind is much more powerful than you may realize, and right now you're using only 10% of it. You can easily tap into that gold mine and you'll be amazed at what you can do!

Although not every woman will have a completely pain-free unmedicated birthing experience, that is exactly what we aim for and our success rate is about 70%, far above any other childbirth method, which is very gratifying.
