HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education







The HypnoBirthing Advantage

A special, integral role for Birthing Companion

Reduces and often eliminates the
need for medication

Fewer breech presentations

Fewer complications and easier
resolution in the event of complication

An awake, refreshed, and energized birthing mother

A better outcome for mother and baby

A calm, peaceful birthing environment

Good natured babies who sleep better and take to the breast easily

Happy parents who experience a
serene, joyful birthing rather than a tense, stressful ordeal

The
HypnoBirthing
Premise

For most of their lives,
women have been inundated with the negative stories of other women’s birth experiences.
Everyone, from their mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, and even strangers, wants to tell them the horrors of giving birth.

They have been conditioned to believe that
excruciating pain is associated with birth; and because of this, women today hold an unprecedented fear of giving birth. This extreme fear causes their bodies to become tense, and that tension often prevents them from easily performing the normal, physiological function of birth. The result?—exactly what they feared most--long, painful, disappointing birthings. People who are drawn to HypnoBirthing have long been searching for a way that helps women give birth as calmly, safely, and gently as possible. Until HypnoBirthing® was founded, it seemed almost unattainable. Through a very simple program of self-hypnosis and education, women learn to release emotions tied to fear-based stories and misinformation, and they are helped to see birth as normal. They learn to trust that their bodies know how to bring their babies into the world in the calm and gentle way that Nature intended.

"For my second birth I wanted to do things differently, but felt lost in how to create a peaceful birth I knew within me was possible. With my first birth I felt restricted, talked down to and left out of the process of birthing my daughter, Lacy. Research lead me to HypnoBirthing and Brandy. The class information and education was invaluable. I learned how to take responsibility for my body and birth. My husband , who felt lost during Lacy's birth learned effective techniques to support me during pregnancy and labor.
Having Brandy as my teacher and doula was a magical experience.  Not only was she there for me, she was a wonderful guide for my husband and a steadfast guard of my birth choices with hospital staff.
My son, Aiden was born 5 hours after onset of my surges, completely drug free.
I felt so alive and empowered after this birth.
Because of this birth experience my next child will be born at home"
