Hypnobirthing is a comprehensive, evidence-based childbirth education program based on the physiology of birth; the program teaches birthing people to work with their bodies during labor and delivery, resulting in calm, peaceful birthing experiences. In Hypnobirthing, we believe every birthing person and baby deserves to be treated according to the status of their individual health.
A Hypnobirthing class will help you and your partner let go of your fears surrounding birth and give birth with confidence. You will fill your toolbox with techniques so that when the time comes, you can choose which ones suit you best.

In this comprehensive childbirth education program, you will learn what questions you should be asking your provider at your prenatal visits, what to expect from the different stages of labor, coping measures, how to best prepare for a hospital/home birth, best practices and positions for optimal fetal positioning, a variety of laboring positions, how to best navigate any special circumstances should your labor venture off-course, and evidence-based practices for early newborn care and breastfeeding.
A Hypnobirthing class is conducive to all birthing choices: natural, epidural, induction, home birth, hospital birth, cesarean, etc. The relaxation skills we practice are beneficial no matter how you intend to give birth (and you’ll find they come in handy to help handle the stresses of parenthood as well).
“HypnoBirthing for me was less about learning how to birth without medication and more about the power of the female body and mind. In a relaxed environment, Elizabeth taught my husband and I tools to maintain a peaceful labor and delivery. I took away with me an empowerment that eased my nerves about labor and an excitement to experience childbirth for the first time.”
