HypnoBirthing(R)
HypnoBirthing(R) is an empowering method of learning how to birth your baby in a relaxed, tension- free atmosphere. When this atmosphere is present, you can birth your baby in a more comfortable manner. Childbirth is indeed a natural process despite what we see in the movies and what we hear from our peers. HypnoBirthing(R) teaches you and your birth partner about how the female body was designed to birth babies, how to work with that design and how to utilize the mind-body connection to re-learn the way you think about birth. You will learn this through watching films of other mothers utilizing the HypnoBirthing(R) method and by learning how to create and maintain a state of deep relaxation (self-hypnosis). This class is taught by Dr. Stacy Baron and meets by appointment over a five week period for two hours per meeting.
