The journey toward childbirth can be powerful, peaceful, and filled with confidence. You don’t have to go through it wondering if there’s something better.
Join our 6-week Hypnobabies childbirth hypnosis course — a complete childbirth education program with deep, medical-grade hypnosis, designed to help you experience a shorter, easier, more comfortable birth.
Each week, you can expect:
• To learn self-hypnosis techniques and “eyes-open childbirth hypnosis” so you can stay deeply relaxed during labor while walking, talking, and moving as desired.
• To gain full childbirth preparation: stages of labor, anatomy & physiology, comfort and safety in pregnancy, choices during birth, and how to avoid back labor.
• Active support and involvement of your Birth Partner — so your support team knows how to be part of your journey.
• Tools you’ll use daily: hypnosis audio tracks, workbook, scripts, reading, practice. Home practice is part of transforming preparation into confidence.
Why this class?
• Because your birth can be more joyful, more comfortable, less fear-filled. Hypnobabies is well known for helping people create much shorter, easier and more comfortable births.
• Because you’ll be educated, empowered, and supported every step of the way.
• Because you deserve to feel in control, seen, and confident as your body does what it needs to do.
