Hypnobabies also has a wonderful home study option and can be purchased directly from Hypnobabies.com. The cost is $189-$239 depending on if you order the online home study version or the (hard copy) print edition version of the home study course. This is a self-study that the birthing person does mostly on their own, though birth partners are encouraged to follow along and have a few small things to do to be involved. It contains the same wonderful tools and techniques that are taught in the live Hypnobabies childbirth class.
The print edition of the home study course includes all Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis printed workbooks, booklets, handouts and audio tracks (on MP3 download cards), which is especially great if you don’t want to print out a TON of materials because they send them all to you, shipped in an organized fashion! Our doula clients love the print edition because it keeps them accountable and is easily accessible in a binder; a tangible way to learn since having physical papers can be more of a reminder to create a ritual.

Optional bonus – The birth rehearsal is not included in the home study course since it is only included in the live instructor led group class or private class. However, home study users can hire a Hypnobabies instructor for a virtual HSA birth rehearsal where we do a review of the course, make sure the birth partner feels fully up to speed for their role, and do a real time birth rehearsal to practice using all the tools, plus breathing and pushing methods. This HSA is an invaluable way to make sure you are able to reap the full Hypnobabies benefits of all the Hypnobabies tools you will have spent so much time learning and practicing. Sign up here.
+ All the same content and weekly structure as the 6-week childbirth ed Hypnobabies series but exclusively for you.
+ Experienced in NDAs and protecting your privacy.
