Our childbirth education series is a four-week session, and each session is approximately 2.5 hours in length.
HypnoBirthing® is a program that is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition, and positive body toning. Through a very simple program of self-hypnosis and education, healthy, low-risk women, as well as women who need medical assistance because of special circumstances, learn to dismiss fear-based stories, misinformation, and birthing myths; and they are helped to see birth as normal. They learn to trust that their bodies know how to bring their babies into the world in the calm and gentle way: the way that nature intended.Each Hypnobirthing series is comprised of 5 weekly sessions, and each session is approximately 2.5 hours in length.
