What is HypnoBirthing?
HypnoBirthing®, The Mongan Method, is a philosophy and a program that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentleness, calm and joy and that pain does not need to be a part of birthing when a person is properly prepared mentally, physically, and spiritually, and trusts her birthing body.
HypnoBirthing® eliminates the Fear-Tension-Pain cycle and offers tools such as deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, special breathing techniques, visualizations, affirmations, and education, in order to give the birthing person the confidence and peace necessary to birth her baby safely and with ease.
- "Lisa's class is truly transformational! She has empowered us through various HypnoBirthing techniques. She has enabled us to release our fears and connect with our baby. We highly recommend her course to anyone who's expecting." - Alexis and Javed
