HypnoBirthing Classes

HypnoBirthing classes provide a wealth of information, you receive a book, 2 CD's, and many handouts. You and your birthing partner (whomever you choose that to be) will receive not only instruction on what to do in the midst of giving birth, but will be taught relaxation techniques for before, during and after birth.  We help women learn to not resist but to  "surrender" to what their bodies are doing and tune into their natural instincts. 
We go over the history of birth, how your uterus works, how our mind works and many more aspects of the birthing journey that is beneficial, as well as, vital to a healthy childbirth.  It is our belief that giving birth is a partnership, and partners will be given specific instruction.  Each class will have a hypnosis session and the relaxation techniques will be taught to the birthing partner.  We strive to empower both you and your  partner. 
I include in my class a fear release hypnosis session at no extra charge.
I believe that this is important to help each to accomplish their goal by removing as many obstacles as possible.

Are their other sessions I would charge for?
Only if you have deep issues and need a private hypnosis session created just for you.

The Mongon Method
HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method is as much a philosophy as it is a technique.
The concept of HypnoBirthing® is not new, but rather a "rebirth" of the philosophy of birthing as it existed thousands of years ago and as it was recaptured in the work of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, an English obstetrician, who first forwarded the concept of natural birthing in the 1920s. The method teaches you that in the absence of fear and tension, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor. You will gain an understanding of how the birthing muscles work in perfect harmony--as they were designed to--when your body is sufficiently relaxed. You will learn how to achieve this kind of relaxation, free of the resistance that fear creates, and you will learn to use your natural birthing instincts for a calm, serene and comfortable birthing. 
HypnoBirthing® teaches women how to eliminate fear, so that they experience an easier more comfortable birth, the same peaceful experience that women in other cultures have practiced for centuries. The extreme relaxation of HypnoBirthing® promotes the natural release of the body's own endorphins, which are 200 times stronger than morphine.



Doula Services
"Helping a woman in labor involves much more than simple tasks, it involves empathy, intuition and inspiration, it is an art"    Michelle O'dent

Prenatal, Labor and Birth

Once contracted with parents we will meet once before estimated date.  This is to discuss what your expectations, birth preferences, and further details.
I encourage all parents to take a childbirth class of their choice to help prepare themselves.

I work with HypnoBirthing parents as well as parents that have taken or are taking another childbirth class.  I support you in whatever your choice may be.


Postpartum Doula Services

Postpartum care is very important!  Parents need just as much support once they go home as in the hospital.  It is unfortunate that we do not have the community we once had, our work schedules are busy and that is why postpartum doula services have come about. 

examples of postpartum services:

Light meal cooking
