HYPNOBORN™ is a method of natural childbirth that uses hypnosis and relaxation techniques to reduce stress and fear during labor. It is based on the belief that when a woman is in a relaxed state, she can better cope with the physical and psychological effects of labor, allowing her to have a more comfortable and enjoyable childbirth experience. The technique involves self-hypnosis, deep relaxation, visualization, and breathing exercises. These techniques help the mother to reduce fear and anxiety during labor as well as control pain and stress.

Absolutely. Both the mother and the baby are considered safe during hypnosis for childbirth. It is a relaxation method that can aid in the reduction of tension and pain during labor while also promoting pleasant birth experiences.

Hypnosis can help with pain control during labor by giving the expecting mother a variety of relaxation and distraction strategies. It can also help to relieve stress, enabling her to concentrate on the present moment and the joy of giving birth. It can also boost her confidence in her body’s ability to give birth, as well as her ability to manage any discomfort or agony she may feel.

Hypnosis is a collaborative process between you and the hypnotherapist. By setting clear goals, being willing to ask questions, establishing a comfortable environment, and maintaining an open mindset you can enhance your readiness and maximize the benefits of each hypnosis session.

No, there is no risk or negative effect of practicing hypnosis during childbirth. Hypnosis is a safe, natural, and non-invasive technique that can be used to help women cope with the physical and emotional pain of labor and delivery. Hypnosis has been shown to reduce the perception of pain, anxiety, and fatigue during labor, while also helping mothers to relax and enjoy the birthing experience. Hypnosis can be a wonderful tool for helping to make childbirth easier and more enjoyable.

The HYPNOBORN™ Program is a great way to prepare for childbirth and can help reduce fear, anxiety, and discomfort. It can also be used in combination with other techniques to create a more comfortable birthing experience.

Numerous studies have delved into the effectiveness of hypnosis for childbirth, and the overall findings have been encouraging.  Some key discoveries that have emerged from the available research:

• Reduced pain perception: Hypnosis techniques employed during childbirth have been associated with a notable reduction in pain perception and a decreased reliance on pain medication.

• Decreased anxiety and stress: Hypnosis has the potential to help women relax, alleviate anxiety, and foster a serene birthing environment.

• Shorter labor duration: Certain studies suggest that utilizing hypnosis during childbirth may contribute to a shorter labor duration. 

• Increased satisfaction: Hypnobirthing has been reported to contribute to a more positive birth experience, resulting in heightened levels of satisfaction among mothers.

• Improved neonatal outcomes: Limited research has indicated potential benefits of hypnosis on neonatal outcomes, including a possible reduction in complications and improved Apgar scores. However, it is crucial to conduct further studies to validate these findings.

Our HYPNOBORN™ program has four sessions and includes a facebook group for a community of support as you learn the techniques for relaxation, visualization and self-hypnosis.  Even if you’re only able to attend one or two, the childbirth process will seem easier. Attending the full four sessions and getting in the habit of daily practice will allow you to feel more confident, less fearful, and well-supported going into labor.

HYPNOBORN™ will give expectant mothers the tools to practice in the comfort of one’s own home. These include relaxation methods, visualization practices, and self-hypnosis.
