Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration- a state of mind and body in which we communicate suggestions to our subconscious mind. This part of our mind influences what we think, how we feel, and the choices we make. HypnoBirthing is based on the premise that childbirth does not necessarily need to be painful if the mother is properly prepared and gets in a deep state of relaxation called Hypnosis.
One of the misconception about HypnoBirthing is it is only for women that want a drug free childbirth. Often many HypnoBirthing mothers do choose unmedicated birthing. However, HypnoBrithing teaches techniques that are very helpful in having a successful delivery no matter what your birth plan or circumstances are. The tools and education you receive from the classes empower you to make the best choices for you and your baby.
HypnoBirthing does not promise you'll have a pain free birth but mothers do often report to having relatively pain-free births by birthing with out fear. Fear creates adrenaline which cause the uterus to tense and there for causes insufficient oxygen and blood flow to the uterus. This causes the pain commonly felt during a contraction. However, when mothers use the tools given to them and keep in a calm, relaxed state they are less likely to feel pain and more likely to experience sensations of pressure or tightening.
If you have a birth companion, we will make them an essential part of your HypnoBirthing experience. They will practice with mom in helping her to prepare for deep relaxation. During labor they will guide the laboring mother with relaxing techniques, deepening methods, light touch massage, and can be a part of receiving the emerging baby.
HypnoBirthing is becoming a more common practice in hospitals. During our classes, we will work on your birth plan that you will go over with your health care provider so they are aware of your preferences.
