Connect deeply with your baby during pregnancy while preparing for a gentle and easy birth using Hypnobabies—real hypnosis for a peaceful birth. Join me for a fun and relaxing class to learn hypnosis for birthing. Hypnobabies is easy and calming for you and your baby. You control the level of hypnosis at all times and create a loving and peaceful birthing time. Hypnobabies classes and your homeplay practice will teach you wonderful tools to enhance prenatal bonding so you can connect with yourself and your partner during pregnancy and beyond.
Hypnobabies is a very successful 6 week complete childbirth education course using Gerald Kein's Painless Childbirth techniques instead of simple relaxation, breathing or guided imagery. This allows our Hypno-Moms to employ “Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis”, easily remaining deeply in hypnosis while walking, talking, or changing positions; being as mobile as they would like to be during childbirth. We are famous for much shorter, easier and more comfortable labors, making childbirth the joyful experience it was meant to be.
You’ll use your Hypnobabies Workbook, CDs and hypnosis scripts to train your inner mind that contractions in labor will be felt only as pressure, tightening, pushing, pulling and normal baby movement sensations. You’ll be fully in tune with your baby during the birthing process, and as aware as you’d like to be, easily able to communicate and be in charge of your own birth experience.
Hypnobabies uses the same kind of hypnosis techniques that people employ when preparing for surgery without any medication, which is called hypno-anesthesia. Our classes also teach our Hypnobabies Birth Partners how to fully support our Hypno-Moms, although Hypnobabies can also be used very successfully by single mothers
Including a very comprehensive childbirth education curriculum also ensures that our Hypno-moms remain deeply committed to their Hypnobabies training, since they need not go anywhere else for childbirth education. Other natural childbirth classes are wonderful but many teach “pain-coping” and “pain-management”, which is directly in opposition to Hypnobabies” “pain-elimination” techniques.

Although not every woman will have a completely pain-free unmedicated birthing experience, that is exactly what we aim for and our success rate is about 70%, far above any other childbirth method, which is very gratifying!
