Hypnobirthing
Childbirth Education for a safer, easier, more comfortable birth
The method teaches that, in the absence of stress hormones caused by fear, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor.
In this calm state, your body's natural relaxant, endorphins, actually act to relieve pain.
Gain an understanding of how the birthing muscles work in perfect harmony-as they were designed to-when your body is sufficiently relaxed and you trust birth. Learn to achieve this kind of relaxation, free of the resistance that fear creates. Learn to use your natural birthing instincts for a calm, serene and comfortable birth.
For a total price of $880 per couple, the Hypnobirthing Program includes:
5 sessions of 2 hrs each
Your copy of the book 'Hypnobirthing' by Marie Mongan

Your copy of the Audio CD "Hypnobirthing and Rainbow Relaxation"
"Women taught self-hypnosis had decreased requirements for pharmacological analgesia, including epidural analgesia and were more satisfied with their pain management in labour compared with controls" (Smith CA et al, 2006, 'Complementary and alternative therapies for pain management in labour.' Cochrane Database Syst Rev. Oct 18;(4):CD003521.)
"Women using hypnosis rated their labour pain less severe than controls...reduced opioid (meperidine) requirements, and increased the incidence of not requiring pharmacological analgesia in labour"
