HypnoBirthing® Class
Event Information
HypnoBirthing® is a different approach to childbirth education and uses hypnosis. It focuses on natural birth progress and is as intervention-free as possible. Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration in which suggestions are made to the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind influences the choices we make, and what we think and feel. This profound state of deep relaxation can be achieved through daily practice. You will be totally relaxed, fully in control, and aware of the birthing process, and will be able to determine the extent to which you feel the uterine contractions.
The birth will be experienced in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, free of the fear and tension that cause pain. Your body’s natural pain relievers, endorphins, replace stress hormones that create pain. You are fully awake and involved during your baby’s birth.
The cost of HypnoBirthing® is slightly higher than our regular Lamaze classes because of the special materials used and the smaller, more personal classes involved. HypnoBirthing® classes are only offered on weekday evenings in a series of five classes, 2 1/2 hours each. Click here for more information, or call (908) 788-MOMS.
