Discovering and embracing HypnoBirthing HypnoBirthing, a new paradigm in childbirth education, is an easily learned method employing self-
 hypnosis, deep relaxation, special breathing, and empowering self-guided natural pain relief techniques which enable women to enjoy a safe and gentle birthing for their baby - often pain free! This is healthy for both mother and baby, allowing the body to perform naturally. The experience of pain in childbirth is the result of fear, out of which arises tension of the muscles, leading to pain. HypnoBirthing teaches that in the absence of fear and tension, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of Labor. After completing the HypnoBirthing program, Colleen Guido stated, "I found what I was missing-- an approach that was natural, drug-free, and that linked mind and body to achieve the birth of our baby". She gave birth to a healthy 8 lb. 9 Oz. baby girl - her first! I am dedicated to enhancing the birth experience for their clients – The Babies. "We owe it to our babies to give them the most loving start possible as we invite them into the world. Just as a cat purrs for its newborns... imagine if your baby could feel your loving voice and the music of your soul as a welcome to the world"!
Cindy Costello, after giving birth to her first baby in just over 3 hours, exclaimed, "I was never afraid of the pain associated with childbirth, but I was afraid of getting an epidural because of the horror stories you hear about the procedure. I focused on my HypnoBirthing techniques, relaxing my abdomen, visualizing the baby descending down the birth canal, and had no pain in my abdomen!" Both Colleen and Cindy emphatically (highly) recommend HypnoBirthing for all the mommies out there who want more from their childbirth. Exciting classes are now being offered by appointment. The program consists of four 2 1/2 hour classes, the course written by its founder, Marie Mongan, M.Ed., M.Hy. two self hypnosis audio tapes, a HypnoBirthing book for practice at home, and various handouts. TESTIMONIAL: When we first found out that we were going to have a baby, I told my husband right away that I wanted a completely natural birth. He supported my decision 100%. Then I told him that I wanted the birth to be a home birth. Honestly this freaked him out a bit. After speaking with our doctor however, she explained why home birth might not be the best option and explained to us that I could still have a completely natural child birth in the safety of a hospital. That is when she told us about the Hypnobirthing option that was offered by her office. This sounded perfect! Soon thereafter we were introduced to Rina and enrolled in her Hypnobirthing class. In the class we were taught many different ways to overcome the concept of fear that is surrounded by child birth. It is just accepted that child birth and pain go hand and hand. Well to be completely honest, this is not true. This is a preconceived notion that has been drilled into the minds of women for centuries. Rina will teach you techniques like relaxation breathing, positive affirmation and visualization, and how to align your body's energy centers to help you release any fear of pain or doubts that you might have that child birth is a unpleasant experience. If your birth choice is a natural one, or even if it's not, I highly recommend this class either way. The things you will learn will not only help with your birthing experience, but it will also help you to relax on a personal level and will help you and your partner to connect more with each other and with your unborn baby. - Theresa, Ft.
