Hypnobirthing was created by Marie Mongan out of her own birthing
experiences. She knew there had to be a natural, safe way to have
babies without drugs or pain. Marie began by learning about the work of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, an early proponent of natural childbirth. She
later added in hypnosis, and HypnoBirthing was created!
HypnoBirthing techniques allow moms to feel in control of the process of
birthing. It provides moms with the tools they need to feel
comfortable throughout the experience. HypnoBirthing also eliminates
the fear-tension-pain syndrome that causes discomfort during labor.
Other benefits are that it reduces the need for chemical pain killers,
allowing mom to benefit from her own endorphins to reduce discomfort.
It eliminates fatigue and shortens the first stage of labor, and
prevents the risk of hyperventilation due to shallow breathing methods.
Post natal recovery is rapid, allowing mom to enjoy this bonding period
with her baby.
