Déveloped by Marie F. Mongan, HypnoBirthing®, is as much as philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentility, calm and joy. When a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally and spiritually,she can experience that sort of joy birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable, and often even pain free manner. Through a well thought-out program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis and education, HypnoBirthing® returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her naturel birthing instincts and to birth her baby in safety and with ease. HypnoBirthing® is based on the beleif that severe discomfort does not need to be a natural accompaniment of birthing.
