"Remember this, for it is as true as true gets: Your body is not a lemon. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth as well as aardvarks, lions, rhinoceri, elephants, moose, and water buffalo. Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body."

HypnoBirthing is a practiced technique that enables a woman to guide herself into a deep level of relaxation during labor and delivery. Through work with a HypnoBirthing educator, mothers who have utilized hypnosis report having experienced feelings of deep calm and relaxation, accessing areas of the brain that produce mental fortitude and alleviate intense pain during the birthing process. The results of the HypnoBirthing method are nothing short of miraculous!

Through close work with your birthing partner/companion, you will learn to prepare your body through exercise and message techniques, to establish a path for your baby to enter the world. We'll teach you to ride the waves of labor and pay attention to the "rhythm" of your body's normal inclination as the intensity ebbs and flows. Through the use of powerful visualization techniques, you'll learn to see yourself as a blooming flower, opening and blossoming as birth progresses through its natural stages.
