Our Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis Services
What is Hypnobabies?
Hypno…BABIES?
Yes! These are babies whose parents choose to easily and naturally prepare for childbirth using the Hypnobabies method of Hypnotic Childbirth, which some might call “hypno-birthing”. Hypnobabies, however, is very different in that we teach real medical hypnosis techniques, creating an automatically peaceful, relaxing and more comfortable pregnancy, a calm confident Birth Partner, and an easier, more comfortable and sometimes pain-free birthing for our Hypno-Mom.
Hypnobabies is a very successful 6 week, 3 hours per week, complete childbirth education course that was adapted with permission from Gerald Kein’s “Painless Childbirth Program” rather than using simple relaxation, breathing or guided imagery. This allows our Hypno-Moms to enjoy “eyes-open childbirth hypnosis”, easily remaining deeply in hypnosis while walking, talking and changing positions; being as mobile as they would like to be during childbirth. Hypnobabies is well-known for helping women to create much shorter, easier and more comfortable labours, making childbirth the joyful experience it was meant to be.
Expectant mothers use our Hypnobabies Workbook, hypnosis audio tracks and scripts to train their inner mind that contractions in labour will be felt only as pressure, tightening, pushing, pulling and normal baby movement sensations. Women are fully in tune with their babies and their bodies during the birthing process, and as aware of everything around them as they’d like to be, easily able to communicate with their support team, and completely in charge of their own birth experience.
Hypnobabies uses the same medical hypnosis techniques that people employ when preparing for surgery without any drugs, which is called hypno-anesthesia. Our classes also teach Hypnobabies Birth Partners how to fully support the Hypno-Moms, and Hypnobabies is used very successfully by single mothers too. A willing Birth Partner is a bonus!
Including a very comprehensive childbirth education curriculum also ensures that our Hypno-moms remain deeply committed to their Hypnobabies training, since they need not go anywhere else for childbirth education. Other natural childbirth classes are wonderful, but many teach “pain-coping”, and “pain-management”, which is directly in opposition to our Hypnobabies suggestions that encourage an easier, more comfortable, joyful childbirth.
Did you know?
There are people that have life-threatening allergies to anesthetics who successfully undergo medical and dental surgery with hypnosis as their only anesthesia! If hypnosis can create effective pain elimination for surgeries of all kinds, we know it can work for childbirth, and it does quite well. Your mind is much more powerful than you may realize, and right now you’re using only 10% of it. You can easily tap into that gold mine and you’ll be amazed at what you can do!

Hypnosis is a safe and effective means for a mother to achieve natural childbirth in comfort, joy and love.

Unique Benefits of Hypnobabies
How is Hypnobabies different from other Childbirth Hypnosis programs?
I am asked many times what is the difference between Hypnobabies® and other natural childbirth or birth hypnosis programs (like HypnoBirthing the Mognan Method), and here I will answer that question by telling you what we do well without disparaging any other particular group. Other natural childbirth courses have excellent programs and benefits that have helped many women have better, more relaxed births. I recognize that and celebrate them and what they do every day for birthing women!
We use real, medical-grade, somnambulistic hypnosis techniques, addressing the mind, body, and spirit of both mother and baby, so our success and satisfaction rates are wonderful and very gratifying. Our goal is helping families to “enjoy your baby’s birth in comfort, joy and love”!

Birth Partners & Hypnobabies
Birth Partners are encouraged to become emotionally invested and involved in the Hypnobabies program.
They are an active participant in class and will also be guiding the mother into deep hypnosis by reading her hypnosis scripts (if able and available) in between classes. The connection between you and your partner is enhanced as you prepare for your baby’s birth together.
Your partner will also be an invaluable part of the birth process, helping you to focus and concentrate on your birth hypnosis tools, while offering emotional and physical support. Your partner will even have the opportunity to listen to their own hypnosis audio track and become confident about their role in supporting you through pregnancy and childbirth.
Single expectant mothers, or moms whose partner is unable to attend classes with her can also enjoy the program by using audio tracks that are specifically designed for them. Hypnobabies can easily be learned, practiced and used alone or with a Birth Partner or Hypno-Doula.
A Certified Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula can make a wonderful addition to your birthing team and is familiar with all of the specific hypnosis cues and techniques to be able to support you completely during your birthing time.
