WHY CHOOSE HYPNOBABIES
  • The Ulti­mate Rea­son: a calm, more com­fort­able and easier, nat­ural birth!
  • You and your part­ner will be more relaxed dur­ing preg­nancy, labor, and birth.
  • Shorter labor due to lack of resis­tance in your birthing muscles.
  • Fewer com­pli­ca­tions and inter­ven­tions, as your body and mind stay com­pletely relaxed dur­ing labor.
  • Proper posi­tion­ing of your baby dur­ing preg­nancy and birth: Pos­te­rior and Breech babies can be turned with hypnosis.
  • Fewer drugs or no drugs at all, mean­ing less risk of harm­ful side effects for you and your baby.
  • The birthing envi­ron­ment is much more calm and peace­ful when the nat­ural childbirth mother is com­fort­able, relaxed, and confident. Click here to read more about the importance of CONFIDENCE.
  • Birth part­ners are relaxed and con­fi­dent and are able to enjoy their part­ners preg­nancy and child­birth. These skills will ben­e­fit them for the rest of their lives.
  • Our Hypno-moms are eas­ily “depro­grammed” from the usual neg­a­tiv­ity of child­birth sto­ries and sce­nar­ios they may have heard or read by way of train­ing in Hyp­nob­a­bies classes and audio tracks that have pos­i­tive mes­sages and hyp­notic sug­ges­tions. This auto­mat­i­cally allows them to have a much more pos­i­tive atti­tude and con­fi­dence in birthing.
  • Elim­i­na­tion of the Fear/Tension/Pain Cycle.

Home Study

If you have chosen to prepare for your birth using the Hypnobabies Home Study Course, we can work with you to take your learning and experience to the next level.  With the "Home Study Advantage" (HSA), I can come to your house for a private 3 hour class, teaching you and your birth partner important information about using Hypnobabies for your birth, and I lead you through an in-depth birthing rehearsal.  This time will leave you and your partner feeling confident and prepared that you are ready to use your Hypnobabies techniques for an easier, more comfortable birthing. Booking an HSA with me also includes unlimited phone and email support before, during, and after your birth!

Interested in the home study option?

Step 1: Order the Home Study by clicking on this link. The course takes 6 weeks to complete so an ideal time to start is around 28-30 weeks of pregnancy. There is an online version and a hard copy version you can order.

Step 2: Email me ASAP to set up your Home Study Advantage (HSA) class around 36/37 weeks of pregnancy, after you've completed the six weeks of self study.

The HSA can be a private session in your home or a group class. The cost for the private in-home class is $150.  Group HSA classes are just $100/couple. I offer payment plans if finances are a concern. I am passionate about helping couples use Hypnobabies to its fullest potential and would love to work with you!

You can also order a variety of extra tracks from Hypnobabies.com like "Turn Your Breech Baby", "Breastfeeding Success," "Turn Your Posterior Baby," "Needles are OK," "Peaceful Sleep Now," and "Toddler Sleepy Time" plus more. There are also tracks for mothers planning a cesarean, as well as those planning a VBAC or who will be giving birth to twins! And you don't need to be doing the full Hypnobabies program to take advantage of these great hypnosis tracks. They also have a new, comprehensive hypnosis for fertility program!
