HypnoBirthing,® The Mongan Method is both a philosophy of birth and a relaxing, stress-free method of birthing. HypnoBirthing® teaches you and your birth companion how to experience birth in a comfortable manner using self-hypnosis, breathing, light touch and other strategies.
This course is led by Julie Zappa, Registered Nurse, Certified Hypnotherapist and HypnoBirthing® educator trained by Marie Mongan. Julie has been a beloved HypnoBirthing® educator in the Twin Cities for many years, and birthed her last child using HypnoBirthing® methods.
HypnoBirthing® teaches you to:
- Trust your body and free yourself of negative emotions and fear
- Use your own instincts
- Be aware and fully in control, but deeply relaxed
- Rely upon your birthing instincts
Birth companions are taught how to support women as they practice and implement the techniques throughout pregnancy and birthing.
We recommend taking the HypnoBirthing® course during your second trimester or early third trimester. This gives you and your birth partner time to practice and become familiar with the technique.
Tuition: $295 per couple. Your tuition includes an instructional book, two CDs and relaxation scripts.
