Hypnosis for Childbirth

I use the Hypno-Beginning® method which was created by Dr. Nathalie Fiset, a French Canadian family doctor who has attended over 2200 births.  Dr. Fiset, being a hypnotherapist as well as a physician, has combined her skills to create a wonderful method for a safe, comfortable birth.  As a Mother-To-Be you will learn how to use hypnosis to relieve the pain of child birth in four private sessions or four classes, taking home CDs each week so you and your birthing partner can practice the 


 
techniques each day.  By the end of the four sessions you will be well equipped to use several hypnosis techniques to achieve a relatively pain-free, peaceful birth.  Because you are  deeply relaxed during labor, your baby will probably be born more quickly.  With hypnosis during labor your body can do its work naturally without tension or resistance; often eliminating several hours of labor time.  Babies born with the Hypno-Beginning® method are generally under much less stress and have higher apgar scores.  As a family you will be able to bond more readily, allowing for a more peaceful, joyful, and satisfying beginning to family life.

If there is a true need for medical intervention, the skills learned with the Hypno-Beginning® method help the new mother respond well to chemical or surgical intervention. You will still have skills and techniques to last a lifetime; for better sleep, relaxation, and if needed pain control. And-you will be able to share some of these skills with your child as he or she grows.
If you or someone you know plans to have a baby in the near future, I sincerely hope you will consider hypnosis as your method of choice for a nearly pain-free birth. Those who have tried this method are sincerely glad they did!

Please check here for Hypno-Beginning® classes and introductory lectures. Private sessions are also available.  Keep in mind, both classes and private sessions include the birthing partner as well as the Mother-To-Be.  It is best to begin Hypno-Beginning training at least 6 to 8 weeks before your due date, keeping in mind that some babies are born early.  I suggest that you schedule your classes/sessions between the 28th and 32nd week of pregnancy.  Please call early to register for a class.

“Hypnosis offers much, much greater pain control than Lamaze.  During active labor, many women using hypnosis rate their discomfort at about a level 2 on a 0 to 10 scale with 0 being no pain and 10 being the highest level of pain. Hypnosis also significantly reduces suffering, the emotional component of pain.

“Children born to hypnotized mothers scored higher on Apgar tests (a measure of health) and the mothers were less prone to post partum depression…those who have previously given birth without hypnosis tell doctors that it makes labor a more pleasant experience.” 

Australian Study reported in Prevention Magazine, 2/2006
