Hypnobirthing - A Celebration of Life
The childbirth method that's as much a philosophy as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing and stress-free birth.
The hypnobirthing childbirth method is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. Hypnobirthing teaches you and your birthing companion the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. You will learn how to call upon your body’s own natural epidural and thus lessen or even eliminate discomfort and the need for medication. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and her mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner it does with all other creatures. You will be fascinated as you view hypnobirthing films showing laboring mothers awake, alert, and in good humor as they experience the kind of gentle birth you, too, can know. Hypnobirthing teaches you to release all prior conditioning about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself from emotions that lead to pain, causing fear and unyielding muscles. Hypnobirthing will teach you the art of using your own natural birthing instincts. With hypnobirthing, you will not be in a trance or sleep state. You will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.
