HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method

Philosophy

HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy of birthing as it is a method or technique for achieving safer, easier, and more comfortable birth. The HypnoBirthing philosophy is based on the belief that a healthy person carrying a healthy baby and having a healthy pregnancy, who is properly prepared, is able to have a comfortable and gentle birthing.

What is it?

This program includes education in special breathing techniques, self-hypnosis, relaxation, affirmation, visualization, and bonding - all designed to assist you to become empowered and confident, as you trust the innate wisdom of your body to know how to birth your baby intuitively.

We believe babies can be welcomed into the world in a peaceful and gentle way. We believe childbirth is a normal, natural, and healthy human experience for the majority of people. In the absence of a special medical circumstance, a person should be able to birth instinctively and without force or limitation from those around them. In the absence of fear and tension, pain does not have to be a big part of labor. Changing our vocabulary is a huge part of our experience. Not everything has to be pleasure or pain. HypnoBirthing will teach you to reprogram the beliefs you may have held previously. You will learn how to trust your body and work with it, allowing it to do what it already knows how to. You can experience a calm, relaxed birth free from the fear and anxiety that limit your body and work against your natural instinct.

Our goal is to help you feel empowered to have the birth experience YOU desire. Please contact us with any questions you have about HypnoBirthing. Ultimately, people should have the confidence to birth how they want, whether that's medicated, unmedicated, at home, in a hospital, or in a birth center. Thankfully we can all choose for ourselves!

HypnoBirthing Classes

This class series will prepare you to trust your body and look forward to you birthing day. HypnoBirthing is a comprehensive childbirth class with an emphasis on learning to trust your body and get excited about labor and birth.

This is a one time, 3-hour class, and can be offered to groups or privately. We will cover choosing a care provider, how to prepare for your birthing day, labor comfort measures, breathing techniques, and much more! This class can be given in person to those in Austin and the surrounding area (travel fee may apply) or virtually via Zoom.

Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class

Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class highlights your baby’s active role in birth.

This is a single class designed to educate you and your birth partner in techniques to use before and during labor to help “make room for baby!” During labor, the baby needs to pass through the three levels of the pelvis. In this class, you will learn techniques to balance your body where it may be restricted, in turn helping your baby pass through these levels more easily. Together, Spinning Babies® assists your baby in finding it's optimal position for labor and aides in making birth more comfortable.

This class is for expectant parents only.

Investment: $150 per couple

Next Class Date: Saturday, December 14, 2024, 9am - 12pm
