HypnoBirthing®
Childbirth Education
$395 per couple
What if you could unlearn the negative associations of birth? What if birth could be comfortable? How do you envision meeting your baby?
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, baby and birth team in both hospital and home birth settings.
People who are drawn to HypnoBirthing® have been searching for a way to give birth confidently and as calmly, safely, and gently as possible. Through a 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 that Nature intended.
Join Alex for this 4 week in-person series of classes to learn the hands-on relaxation and breathing techniques you need for a more comfortable birth. Registration fee includes textbook, workbook and audio track downloads.
