What is
HYPNOBIRTHING?
HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven technique that guides and prepares a woman in giving birth peacefully. The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, and so much more! Check out the curriculum list below on what you can expect to learn in the 5-week series. These are techniques that can be used during labor and birth at any birthing location: home, hospital, or at a birth center.
