What is HypnoBirthing®: The Mongan Method?
“HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven method that guides and prepares a woman in giving birth in a peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful manner. It is a program that considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the mother, her birth partner, and the newborn, independent of context, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center.
The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition and positive body toning. Most importantly it fosters an air of mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the health-care provider in a traditional health-care system or an alternative setting.
We know you have many choices and many decisions to make for your birthing experience. You have choices in selecting your care provider; you have choices in selecting the environment in which you will bring your baby into the world. Another important choice is that of the childbirth education classes you will choose to prepare for the birth of your baby. We know you will be happy with your choice of HypnoBirthing®.” – The HypnoBirthing® Institute

A: No. The programme empowers you to trust in your body & your baby, but the techniques are applicable o any birth situation (including planned Caesarean)

A: No, not at all. Hypnosis can be replaced with any word: relaxation, calm, meditative, positive…The principles of HypnoBirthing are to allow YOU to control the level of deep relaxation you go into. You remain conscious, competent & confident.

A: HypnoBirthing teaches self-hypnosis – a method of deep relaxation where you enter the place between waking and sleeping. There is no spiritual elements to it so can be beneficial to all Faith groups.
