What is HypnoBirthing®?

HypnoBirthing® is a complete birth education programme, that teaches simple but specific self hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques for a better birth.

Hypnobirthing is much more than just self hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth.

• With Hypnobirthing, you’ll discover that severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labour
• You’ll learn how to release the fears and anxieties you may currently have about giving birth, and how to overcome previous traumatic births
• HypnoBirthing® lets you discover and experience the joy and magic of birth – rather than the horrific ordeal everyone else seems hell-bent on telling you about

Most importantly, you’ll learn how to put yourself back in control of your birth – rather than blindly turning your birthing experience over to your doctor or midwife.

HypnoBirthing® doesn’t mean you’ll be in a trance or a sleep. Rather, you’ll be able to chat, and be and in good spirits – totally relaxed, but fully in control. You’ll always be aware of what is happening to you, and around you.

HypnoBirthing® doesn’t require any particular belief system, or prior experience. Some of our mums (and especially their husbands!) have been very sceptical at first – until they experience it for themselves.

In fact, the more sceptical they are to start with, the more evangelical they are when they discover the power of HypnoBirthing®.

Just imagine welcoming each surge! Feeling peaceful… relaxing… and even smiling as your baby comes closer to you!

In short, HypnoBirthing® allows you to experience birth in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the birthing muscles of your body from functioning as Nature intended them to.

I practiced HynoBirthig with my first child and can not imagine having a baby in the future without using the Mongon method of HypnoBirthing.     I had an amazing home birth and can highly reccommend it to any mums who are considering it.     After speaking to some friends who did not go down the hypnobirthing route,  I feel very lucky to have chosen this route.   I will definitely choose this option again for my 2nd child.    Mrs Hayward – Islington

I had a compicated birth and without the hypnobirthing I do not think I would have coped.    I was calm throughout  the whole thing which meant my baby was also very calm.   I can not reccomend this method of child birthing enough.  A real god send!

HypnoBirthing is something I found out about very late in to my pregnancy.  I spent the 1st 6 months scared and worried about the birth and the pain.  I took a course of hypnobirthing after a friend recommended it to me,  and I can not thank her enough.  Dare I say I actually enjoyed my labour and had a pain free, complication and drug free birth.   Don’t hestitate,  its a revalation and something I will use for my future births.   When  you have the choice to either have a pain free/easy birth or one with drugs  and pain I know which I would choose!!
