What is HypBirthing?

Birthing with Hypnosis teaches self-hypnosis in group or individual sessions along with evidenced based gentle birthing methods. The process is intended to not only teach a specific technique that will help you to control, and in many cases, completely eliminate pain; but to also educate and inform you and your partner of practices which will facilitate a natural birth. Most importantly it will allow you to make informed choices as to how you would like to see your baby brought into the world.

Hypnosis will eliminate the fear with which most women in the western world approach pregnancy and child birth. It is this fear which inhibits your body's own natural ability to birth without medication. Hypnosis does not remove you from the birthing process; which is a common mis- conception about the nature of hypnosis. In fact the opposite is true.

By breaking the cycle of fear-tension-pain through knowledge and learned relaxation through self hypnosis, birthing becomes the natural process your body is capable of. Instead of fear and pain your body's own natural abilities to give birth take over. During labor you remain in a deep state of relaxation.

Through training in self hypnosis you will be able to make positive suggestionsto yourself as to what to feel during each and every contraction. You will be aware of your body's contractions, but will have predetermined what you want to feel. Although your are in a self induced hypnotic state, you remain awake and aware and are able to participate actively in the baby's birth.

Hypbirthing and evidenced based information about birthing practices places you in control of your birthing experience. Together you prepare a birthing plan based on the best sources of information for evidence based practices in childbirth.
