Philosophy
HypnoBirthing is not just a method or technique for achieving safer, easier, and more comfortable birth; it represents a comprehensive philosophy of birthing. The HypnoBirthing philosophy is grounded in the belief that a healthy individual carrying a healthy baby, who has undergone proper preparation, can enjoy a gentle and comfortable birth experience.
What is it?
This program encompasses education in special breathing techniques, self-hypnosis, relaxation, affirmation, visualization, and bonding – all designed to empower you and enhance your confidence as you trust in the innate wisdom of your body to intuitively birth your baby.
We believe that babies deserve to be welcomed into the world in a peaceful and gentle manner. Childbirth is a normal, natural, and healthy experience for most people. Unless there are specific medical circumstances, individuals should be able to birth instinctively, free from force or restrictions from those around them. In a supportive environment devoid of fear and tension, pain does not have to dominate labor. Shifting our vocabulary is vital for transforming our experiences; it’s not always about pleasure or pain. HypnoBirthing teaches you to reprogram any limiting beliefs you may have held in the past. You will learn to trust your body to do what it inherently knows how to do, allowing for a calm, relaxed birth experience, free from the fear and anxiety that can inhibit your natural instincts.
Our ultimate goal is to empower you to have the birth experience YOU desire. Alongside our HypnoBirthing classes, we also offer newborn sleep classes and postpartum care classes to support your journey. Please reach out with any questions you may have about HypnoBirthing. Ultimately, individuals should have the confidence to choose how they wish to give birth, whether that's through medicated or unmedicated methods, at home, in a hospital, or in a birth center. Fortunately, we all have the freedom to make these choices for ourselves!

As a certified HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator with HypnoBirthing International, I wholeheartedly believe in the value of this program.

While some people thrive in a group setting, others prefer the comfort of an intimate environment with only their birth partner. Private HypnoBirthing classes are also ideal for those whose schedules don't align with group class times. The fee for these private sessions includes everything offered in the group classes.
Availability is limited.
The refresher course is designed for parents who have already completed the 5-class series of HypnoBirthing, whether with us or another educator. This session is perfect for those seeking a refresher as they prepare for this pregnancy and birth. The fee for this class is $250 and can be easily scheduled by phone or email. For participants located in Austin and the surrounding area, these HypnoBirthing classes can be conducted in person, while virtual sessions via Zoom are also available. Additionally, don't forget to explore our newborn sleep classes and postpartum care classes to further support your journey.
For those that are either not interested in HypnoBirthing or do not have the availability to do a 5-class series, we offer this comprehensive childbirth class.
