HypnoBirthing®-The Mongan Method:
HypnoBirthing®-The Mongan Method began when founder Marie Mongan decided to take back control in her own birthing experiences and then began teaching her method to others so that they too might experience the calm, comfortable births that she was able to achieve. Marie believes that birth is not a medical event but rather a normal, natural occurrence. Given the correct tools and understanding, HypnoBirthing mothers can and do experience the wonder of their own bodies functioning calmly and comfortably and can take back control of the birth experience for themselves, their babies and their birth companions. HypnoBirthing babies are healthy, happy and very mellow as the wonderful effects of the calming techniques are passed on from mother to her child. Birth companions also enjoy the benefits of the visualization and meditation techniques that they learn and both mothers and companions may find the skills they acquired in HypnoBirthing classes applicable to other aspects of their lives.
Classes in HypnoBirthing® are comprised of five sessions lasting approximately two and a half hours long each for mother-to-be and whomever she has chosen as her birth companion, (father of the baby, life partner, friend or other relative). In the classes, both mother and birth companion will learn how to use specific techniques to breathe, stay calm and allow the natural process of birth to occur calmly and as comfortably as possible. Marie Mongan’s book HypnoBirthing®-The Mongan Method and Rainbow Relaxation CD are included with the course fee.
HypnoBirthing® is great for first time mothers using a doctor, a midwife and/or a doula, as a refresher course for second/third etc. time mothers wanting to improve their birthing experience this time around and for mothers attempting VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean).
