What is HypnoBirthing?
HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method is a childbirth birth education course designed to empower Mums and make birth a comfortable and happy event for parents and babies. It is a relaxing, rewarding, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentleness, calm and joy. It is as much as a philosophy as it is a technique.
When a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally and spiritually, she can experience birthing her baby in an easier and more comfortable manner.
Through a well thought out programme of deep relaxation, breath work, self-hypnosis and antenatal education, HypnoBirthing® allows a woman to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby in safety and with ease. HypnoBirthing® is based on the belief that pain and fear are not a natural component of birthing, that birth should be a natural, fulfilling and empowering experience.
Importantly, the classes are designed for couples and teach tools and techniques a companion or partner may use to support the birthing Mum. HypnoBirthing is about much more than the 'mechanics' of birth; the skills learnt (stress release especially) are not only valuable through birth, but in many other areas of life.
HypnoBirthing is as well as, rather than instead of, any other antenatal or medical care you may receive and can only enhance your experience of a Happy Birth-day.
