Hypnobirthing: The Mongan Method

HypnoBirthing®: The Mongan Method

HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method was created over twenty five years ago by method founder, Marie Mongan. She realized that when fears in pregnancy are acknowledged and women supported by loving, calm partners, then pain in childbirth could be lessened or eliminated. Millions of families have utilized this process all over the world to help them have beautiful, calm and satisfying births.

This method was traditionally a "Natural Birth" method of Childbirth preparation, however, we know today that every family needs the helpful processing and planning that HypnoBirthing can offer. Through a very simple program of relaxation, self hypnosis and education, women learn to release emotions tied to fear-based stories and misinformation. They are helped to see birth as normal and they learn to trust that their bodies know how to bring their babies into the world in a more calm and gentle way.

HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. This amazing program teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. You will learn how to call upon your body’s own natural relaxant and thus lessen, or even eliminate, discomfort. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all animal mothers in Nature.
