HypnoBirthing® offers the tools for a calm and comfortable birth.
It equips you with the knowledge to make confident and informed decisions and to empower you through pregnancy, birth and beyond. It’s a philosophy of preparing both your mind and your body for a soft and serene birth experience.
The Mongan method of HypnoBirthing® is the original.
Created by Marie Mongan over thirty years ago, with the intention to challenge the idea that birth is painful, putting into question the fear and the stress that the mother’s body has to go through.
You and your birthing partner will learn the importance of the mind-body connection and how fear can affect your body and your baby. You will be introduced to the practice of deep relaxation and equipped with tools to use during labour, birth, and as new parents.
No matter how you imagine your birth experience HypnoBirthing® is for you.
Whether you are hoping for a totally natural, drug-free birth, or you’d just like some amazing skills and techniques to help you cope with the early stages of labour before pain-relief medication becomes available, HypnoBirthing® is for you.
Will HypnoBirthing® make me cluck like a chicken?
If clucking like a chicken makes your birth experience fun, I certainly won’t stop you! But HypnoBirthing® won’t be the cause of it.
Hypnosis isn’t how it’s usually portrayed on screen. Often when we think of hypnosis we think of stage hypnosis, something that’s used for entertainment.
I can promise you that in HypnoBirthing® there are no pocket watches swinging, finger-clicking or chickens clucking.
Perhaps, not as amusing, but far more useful, we teach self-hypnosis to achieve a deep state of relaxation, but with a heightened state of mental awareness. You always remain in total control but will be deeply relaxed, free of physical and emotional tension.
Will it help me have a perfect birth?
There is no such thing as a perfect birth, and although I wish could, neither I nor the HypnoBirthing® program can guarantee that you will have one.
Every birth is different because every mum and every baby are different.
While there is so much we can do to prepare for birth, every birth is unique. Sometimes things are straightforward and sometimes they are not.
With a HypnoBirthing® education, you will be prepared, relaxed, and confident, no matter what happens on your birth journey.
You will have the knowledge to make informed decisions and learn how to work with your birthing partner as a team to create a truly positive birth experience, where both partners feel in control and empowered.
I don’t know what’s best for you and your family, but you do.
As a HypnoBirthing® educator, I don’t have an agenda other than making sure you are prepared to have a calm and confident birth. I will not tell you how I think you should birth your baby.
No matter what your birth preferences are, whether you want to birth in a hospital, at home, in a pool, in a car, singing show tunes, or on the top of a mountain. Additionally, it makes absolutely no difference to me whether you have an epidural, a belly birth, or a free birth on the beach.
What matters to me is that you feel informed, confident and that you and your birth partner can create a safe environment for you and your baby.
I want your birth partner to be empowered and involved too so that you are both able to feel connected with your baby both before and after your baby is born. You are the people making the best decisions for you and your baby and I want you to trust in yourselves.
No matter what, you have my support every step of the way.

Hi Friends! I get a bunch of questions about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. I think it’s shrouded in a bit of mystery, and can sometimes seem a little mysterious or inaccessible, which it absolutely isn’t! The hypnotic state is completely natural and normal, and when used therapeutically can be an amazing treatment modality as well as a way to find balance in this busy world.
Hypnosis, either self-hypnosis or in a therapeutic setting is a gentle process of deep relaxation, where you can release stress, attune to deep inner peace, find clarity, balance, healing, and recharge.
It’s an instant reset where you can feel renewed, centred, and highly capable of navigating your day, your schedule, and your life with ease, flow, and grace.
I think a good starting point when trying to understand hypnosis would be thinking of it as a self-care practice, because when you think about it, it is the ultimate in self-care because it affects the health of our mind. When the mind is feeling good, everything else can fall into place.
Very often, REST isn’t the first thing to come to mind when we think about our overall health. Sure, we think about sleep, and we know to be healthy we need good quality sleep and plenty of it, but what about rest?
I know what it’s like when the momentum of the go-mode has become the default, you feel like if you take the time to slow down it can all fall apart!
But what if, the deeper you rest, the more inspired, energised, and proficient you become? Maybe we just need to press the pause button so that everything can fall into place?
Hypnosis is simply an amazing tool we can use to simply rest and recharge.

It's true what they say, if you can dream it, you can do it. The problem is, for most of us, we don't think it applies to ourselves. We let feelings of unworthiness get in the way of our dreams.
Subconscious patterns of thought are what limit us and can keep us from being who we really are. Hypnosis changes those patterns and opens your mind to the possibilities you might not have considered before.

Self-hypnosis & meditation aren't the same, but they do share some very profound similarities in their abilities to reduce stress, improve health, and slow the effects of aging. Just think of someone you know who has been through trauma or a stressful period of their life. Have you noticed how the experience aged them? Meditation & self-hypnosis slow the aging process because they can reduce stress & even reverse the process.
So how does it work? In part, it reduces cortisol, one of the stress hormones released during the stress response. Cortisol can have many negative effects including weight gain and even a decrease in skin elasticity.
When stress triggers the fight or flight response, cortisol is released to protect us from predators. It's a survival mechanism that works by getting into our skin so if we are attacked by a predator, we won't be so tasty. Meditation & self-hypnosis reduce cortisol and flood you with bliss chemicals that give you a youthful glow.
Another anti-aging benefit of self-hypnosis & hypnotherapy is better sleep. The phrase "sleep on it" refers to the very real way your body rids itself of stress while you sleep at night. Practicing meditation or self-hypnosis during the day, allows your body to use that time for stress relief so that at night you can use sleep time just for sleep. And when we are well rested, we both look and feel better.
