HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Education

The Mongan Method, is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education, enhanced by hypnosis techniques, providing the missing link, that allows women to use their natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more  comfortable birthing in a way that most mirrors nature. Emphasis is placed on both pregnancy and childbirth as well as on HypnoBirthing®. As a birthing method, HypnoBirthing® is as new as tomorrow & as old as ancient times. It is presented in four (3  hour) childbirth classes".

HypnoBirthing® teaches you along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of  experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner.  HypnoBirthing® teaches you to release all prior programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain causing fear and unyielding muscles.
