The stories we've been told aren't the only ones.

For generations, birth stories have been passed down like warnings. Pain. Fear. Things happening to you rather than with you. We've heard them so many times they feel like facts.

They aren't.

Birth is instinctive. Your body was designed for this. What HypnoBirthing® does is help you release the fear and tension that get in the way of that natural wisdom — so you can be fully present, fully empowered, and fully yourself for one of the most profound experiences of your life.

You get to write a different story. One worth telling for a completely different reason.

What is HypnoBirthing®?

HypnoBirthing® is a proven technique and philosophy developed by Marie Mongan and taught worldwide by HypnoBirthing International™ certified educators. It prepares you and your birth companion to approach birth with calm, confidence, and deep trust in your body's instinctive ability.

The program combines hypnosis, special breathing techniques, deep relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, positive body toning, and nutrition awareness. It considers the whole picture: your psychological and physical wellbeing, your birth companion's, and your baby's…in whatever setting feels right for your family.

This isn't a method that overrides your experience. It's one that returns it to you.

What becomes possible

Parents who complete HypnoBirthing® experience:

• Less fear approaching birth

• Deeper trust in your body's instinctive process

• Fewer interventions and surgical births

• Shorter first and second phase labor

• Lessened or eliminated need for pain medication

• Babies who are alert and ready to nurse almost immediately

• Higher than average APGAR scores

• Happier, more connected mothers and babies

• Fewer cases of postpartum depression

What's included

Five weekly sessions of 2.5 hours each — for you and your birth companion. Available in person, virtually, or a combination of both.

Each session builds gently on the last. We move through the philosophy together, practice the breathing and relaxation techniques, work with visualization and hypnosis, and build the mindset that makes everything else possible. By the end it won't feel like something you learned. It'll feel like something you remembered.

When to start: The end of your second trimester is the sweet spot — around 28 to 32 weeks. Early enough to practice, close enough to feel real and immediate.

Two ways to work together

Private — for you and your birth companion Five sessions dedicated entirely to you. Personalized to your specific hopes, questions, and birth vision. At your pace, in your space.

About your educator

I came to HypnoBirthing® through a fellow hypnotherapist who asked me to get certified so he and his partner could work with me. The moment I started learning I couldn't stop.

I loved being pregnant. I love everything about this philosophy…the deep respect it holds for you, the trust it places in your body, and the way it brings mind and body together at exactly the moment it matters most.

What I know from my work in hypnotherapy and NLP is that what we believe shapes what's possible. HypnoBirthing® lives in that same truth. Fear contracts. Trust opens. And when you're bringing a new person into the world, open is exactly where you want to be.

Helping people discover what they're capable of is what I do. This is just the most beautiful context I've ever done it in.

You were made for this.
