So, what is HypnoBirthing all about anyway?

So, "What is HypnoBirthing?" I hear you ask... First, please read my page on What is Hypnosis? to gain an understanding of how Hypnosis works.

HypnoBirthing, (also known as "The Mongan Method") was founded by Marie Mongan in 1989. It offers Childbirth Education classes that empower women to birth their babies using simple but specific techniques which help the mother to eliminate the fear and tension which causes pain during child birth.

The HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education Classes teach the original Mongan Method of birth with self-hypnosis and the course is 12.5 hours long. Generally held over 5 classes, HypnoBirthing classes are taught either in small groups at either our Northside or Southside venue, or by Private Lessons in the comfort of your own home. If you are late in your pregnancy, a Private Intensive Class can be requested.

HypnoBirthing helps the mother to be more in control of the birthing process, to experience the birth drug-free using self-hypnosis whilst remaining relaxed and calm.

A Little about HypnoBirthing

HypnoBirthing is based on the techniques of an English physician, Dr Grantly Dick-Read. He was a pioneer in the field of natural childbirth. HypnoBirthing was established in the United States by Marie Mongan. Her book "HypnoBirthing - A Celebration of Life" was first published in 1989.

The HypnoBirthing method is now international. Georgia Julian, of Canberra Natural Birth, is an instructor currently qualified to teach HypnoBirthing classes to clients.

HypnoBirthing has been featured many times in the media on the Discovery TV Channel, BBC News, in Pregnancy and Birth Magazine, Time Magazine and in the Daily Mail, and local radio stations. It has spread from the USA to Europe, S.E Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

HypnoBirthing with The Mongan Method

The HypnoBirthing childbirth method is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying and relaxing, stress-free method of birthing. During the HypnoBirthing classes you will learn how to call upon your body's own natural epidural and thus lessen, or even eliminate, discomfort and the need for medication. You will find that you and your birthing companion will be properly prepared for birth.
