HypnoBirthing is a collaborative method of childbirth, not an alternative method. The HypnoBirthing philosophy does not preclude the introduction of medical intervention; it precludes the introduction of arbitrary or unnecessary medical intervention, proposed only for the expediency. The HypnoBirthing Program encourages birthing facilities to provide a calm, peaceful and nurturing environment. There must also be a corresponding shift in the birthing philosophy of those who come into these settings to attend mothers in labor. The physical, emotional and spiritual needs of laboring women, their babies and their partners need to be addressed with gentility, patience and kindness.
Through
philosophy
and
skills
taught
by
both
a
Certified
HypnoBirthing
Practioner

Certified
Prenatal
Massage
Therapist,

skilled
in
using
their
own
natural
abilities
to
bring
their
minds
and
bodies
into
perfect
harmony.

understanding
of
the
physiology
of
labor
that
goes
beyond
what
is
usually
taught
in
other
classes
is
presented.
Special
relaxation
and
conditioning
and
labor
techniques
help
the
mother
to
connect
with
and
work
with
her
body
as

and
baby
experience
labor.
Self-hypnosis
taught
as
a
skill
to
allow
the
mother
to
reach
a
level
of
focus
and
relaxation
where
self
or
partner
offered
suggestions
effectively
influence
the
physiological
experience
of
birthing.
Through

dispel
fear
and
tension
and
minimize
discomfort.
