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.

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).
