HypnoBirthing is backed by a body of scientific research. Here are some of the results: ​ For 3,000 women across 9 studies, HypnoBirthing techniques lowered the use of pain medication in laboring. In 2015, results from a clinical trial involving 680 women found that those who self-hypnotized during labor felt less afraid and anxious during labor than they’d expected to. In 2011, the HypnoBirthing Institute reported that HypnoBirthing mothers were less likely to have C-sections, episiotomies (surgical cuts to enlarge the opening of the vagina), or continuous fetal monitoring during labor compared to a National U.S. Survey of Childbirth Experiences. In 2015, a team of British scientists published the findings of their study on 348 HypnoBirthing births. They found that an overwhelming amount of women reported their self-hypnosis training to be beneficial during labor and birth.

We recommend learning Hypnobirthing techniques when mothers are 20 weeks to 35 weeks pregnant. If you are nearing your birthing time, reach out to me and we will make it work.

HypnoBirthing is taught over a 5 week period, once per week for 2.5 hours.

Nope! You will use self-hypnosis to take yourself into a deep state of focus. The "hypno" in HypnoBirthing simply refers to entering an attention-focused state that can allow for a stronger response to suggestions. The goal is to relax the mind and body for birth and release the sensation of pain.

Yes! In fact, many women who sign up have epidurals while still having a HypnoBirth! I actually believe that utilizing HypnoBirthing techniques are even more important when considering epidurals, inductions, c-sections, etc. for your birth. The program offers significant benefits for building your confidence and remaining calm for any/all situation that may arise.
