What Parents are Saying:

I really appreciated Anne's informative classes and her teaching style. Her classes were invaluable! I had a peaceful labor to the point of sleeping during transition and my baby didn't have to be exposed to any drugs! I will have the experience and information for the rest of my life should I decide to have another baby; I tell everyone who will listen about HypnoBirthing. - Julia May.

About HypnoBirthing - The Mongan Method

The HypnoBirthing childbirth method is as much a philosophy as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. HypnoBirthing teaches mothers and birth companions 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 (endorphins) and thus lessen or even eliminate discomfort and the need for medication. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all other creatures.

HypnoBirthing teaches you to release all prior programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain-causing fear and unyielding muscles. HypnoBirthing will teach you the art of using your own natural birthing instincts. You will be conversant and in good spirits - totally relaxed, but fully in control. You will be aware of your body's contractions but will be able to determine the extent to which you feel the surge. You will experience your birthing in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, without fear and tension that causes pain. Your body's natural relaxant will replace the stress hormones that cause pain. You will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.
