My Sister's Doula is an affiliate of the HypnoBirthing^® Institute.

You will learn how to call upon your body's own natural relaxant and thus lessen, or even eliminate, discomfort and the need for medication. 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.

You will be fascinated as you view HypnoBirthing^® films, showing laboring mothers, awake, alert and in good humor as they experience the kind of gentle birth that you, too, can know when you are free of the fear that causes pain and tension.

Through self-hypnosis, special breathing and visualization, HypnoBirthing^® teaches you to release all prior programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain-causing fear and unyielding muscles.

HypnoBirthing^® will teach you the art of using your own natural birthing instincts.

With HypnoBirthing^®, you will not be in a trance or a sleep state. You will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.

HypnoBirthing Classes are taught in a format of four 3-hr classes and start the first Monday of every month at 6:30PM.  Pre-registration is required.

Parent Testimonials

"HypnoBirthing gave me a most priceless gift-a childbirth experience that was free of fear."

"Nothing can describe the beauty of our birthing experience with HypnoBirthing.  I never dreamed after having two children with another method that I could have so easy a labor."

"Our daughter came into this world so much easier than either of us could have hoped for.  With Godspeed, keep up the good work of HypnoBirthing."
