What is HypnoBirthingⓇ
The Mongan Method?

HynoBirthingⓇ is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world gently,

in an atmosphere of calm and joy.

 

HypnoBirthingⓇ is based on the belief that severe discomfort does not need to be a natural accompaniment of birthing when a woman is prepared and trusts her birthing body.

 

"When you change the way you view birth,
the way you birth will change."

-Marie Mongan

​

HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven technique, as well as a philosophy that guides and prepares a woman in giving birth in a peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful manner. It is a program that considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the mother, her birth partner, and the newborn, independent of context, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center.

 

The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition, and positive body toning. Most importantly it fosters an air of mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the healthcare

provider in a traditional healthcare system or an alternative setting.

 

We know you have many choices and many decisions to make for your birthing experience. You have choices in selecting your care provider; you have choices in selecting the environment in which

you will bring your baby into the world. Another important choice is that of the childbirth education classes you will choose to prepare for the birth of your baby. We know you will be happy with your

choice of HypnoBirthing®, a premium childbirth education program.

The HypnoBirthing® Premise 

 

For most of their lives, women have been inundated with the negative

stories of other women’s birth experiences. Everyone, from their

mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, and even strangers, wants to tell them horrors about giving birth. They have been conditioned to believe that excruciating pain is associated with labor;

and because of this, women today hold an unprecedented fear of giving birth. This extreme fear causes their bodies to become tense, and that tension prohibits their bodies from easily performing a normal physiological function. The result is exactly what they feared most–long, painful birthing

or unnecessary intervention. 

 

People who are drawn to HypnoBirthing® have long been searching for a

way to give birth confidently and as calmly, safely, and gently as possible, whether

they have chosen to birth in a hospital, a birthing center, or at home.

Since the medicalization of birth, this kind of birthing (HypnoBirthing®)

almost seemed unattainable for the general population. 

 

Through a very simple program of self-hypnosis and education, healthy, low-risk women, as well as women who need medical assistance because of special circumstances, learn to dismiss fear-based stories, misinformation, and birthing myths; and they are helped to see birth as normal.

They learn to trust that their bodies know how to bring their babies into the world in the

calm and gentle way: the way that nature intended.

​

Why Choose a HypnoBirthing Course?

 

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 how to call upon your body’s own natural relaxant, and therefore lessen, or eliminate, discomfort and the need for medical intervention.

​

When you are properly prepared for childbirth and when the mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all other mothers in nature.

​

Through self-hypnosis and special breathing visualization techniques, HypnoBirthing teaches you to release fear and to trust your body’s ability to birth instinctively.
