In Mongan Method HypnoBirthing® classes you will discover a stress-free method of birthing that is devoted to helping you learn, through self-hypnosis and special breathing exercises, the art of "letting go" and opening yourself to the joy of experiencing birth calmly and serenely. Through a series of 5 weekly classes you will begin to frame a positive expectation and to prepare for birth by developing a trust and belief in your birthing body and in nature's undeniable orchestration of birthing. By teaching you the basic physiology of birth and explaining the adverse effect that fear has upon the chemical and physiological responses of your body, we help you to learn simple, self-conditioning techniques that will easily bring you into the optimal state of relaxation you will use during birthing.
