What will you learn in a Hypnobabies Class Series?

This is a complete childbirth education class!! No other classes will be needed. You will learn hypnosis to keep you relaxed, comfortable, and confident during your birthing time. The class explains in detail how to stay as healthy and low-risk as possible during your pregnancy. You will receive detailed information on the most common medical interventions so you can be an informed consumer, tips for creating the perfect birth for you, an in-depth nutrition and exercise program, information on optimum fetal positioning, turning a posterior baby, bonding and communication exercises, and much more. Hypnobabies classes include wonderful information on commonly used natural birthing methods in addition to the deep hypnosis techniques that make Hypnobabies so unique and effective.

Your hypnosis instruction includes real Medical Hypnosis techniques; the same ones used for non-anesthetic medical and dental surgical procedures. You also learn “Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis”, which means you are pre-programmed with deep hypnotic suggestions that you can walk and talk and move around easily during your birth, allowing for more effective descent and better positioning of your baby, while you remain completely relaxed and comfortable!
