Hypnosis for childbirth is the perfect way to help you prepare for your baby’s arrival by giving you the tools you need to stay relaxed and confident during your birthing. Moms who take hypnosis for childbirth report needing fewer drugs or no drugs during labor, which means less risk of side effects for both you and your baby. Babies with fewer drugs in their system are better sleepers and nursers. Hypnosis eliminates the Fear-Tension-Pain cycle and can help you have shorter labor since there is less resistance of the birthing muscles when pain and fear are minimized or eliminated. This class will prepare you to have abundant energy through every stage of your labor so you can expect fewer interventions for failure to progress and therefore fewer fetal and maternal complications during labor. Your instructor will show you techniques to keep your blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature steady while at the same time eliminating the nausea, back and hip pain that are often associated with labor. Even breech and posterior babies can be turned using the hypnosis and acupressure techniques you will learn. Most importantly, the deep relaxation you will learn to experience can help both you, and your birth partner, to relax and enjoy pregnancy and childbirth.

Taught by Monika Benoit who is Certified in Hypnosis for Childbirth through the Hypnosis Motivation Institute and used hypnosis and EFT for the mid-wife assisted, unmedicated water-births of both of her children.
