HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method
What is HypnoBirthing?
HypnoBirthing is a unique and proven method of natural childbirth education – focused on achieving a calm, gentle and positive birth experience.
Created by Marie Mongan, HypnoBirthing takes the stance that both mum's and baby's bodies are naturally created to give birth comfortably – and that they work together in harmony to do so. Through practiced breathing techniques, visualizations and prompts from their partners, mothers can train their brain to elicit a deep relaxation response on demand.
Delivered through a 5-week course – HypnoBirthing is designed to prepare you and your birth companion to feel empowered and confident to navigate your birthing journey, whatever turn your birth story takes.
Enhanced by relaxation, self-hypnosis , affirmations and guided visualizations, HypnoBirthing allows you to call upon your natural abilities to bring your baby into this world – through a safer, easier, and more comfortable birth.
You’ll learn specialized techniques of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, breathing, visualizations and positive affirmations to assist in both your labour and in the weeks leading up.
HypnoBirthing will help you to overcome the fears you have surrounding your birth and support you to trust your body to birth in a calmer, more comfortable way – welcoming your baby into this world feeling positive and proud.
