HypnoBirth ® is as much a 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 gently, in an atmosphere of calm and joy. HypnoBirthing ® prepares a birthing couple – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually – for an easier, more comfortable and sometimes, pain-free birth. Through a well thought-out program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, special breathing techniques visualizations, affirmations, and education, HypnoBirthing® returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby safely and with ease.

HypnoBirthing® promotes Instinctive Birth. We encourage the birthing person to trust the innate wisdom of their birthing body and their baby. In most cases, they will birth without the need for intervention.

Simply put, birth is natural, normal and healthy. A healthy woman, carrying a healthy baby, experiencing a healthy pregnancy, and a healthy labor can expect to experience an instinctive birth. In the absences of special circumstances, families wishing to experience natural, unmedicated, non-intervention and undisturbed births should be supported in their decision and encouraged through care and information to birth their baby calmly, safely, more comfortably, and even joyously without the need for unnecessary intervention.
