Feeling relaxed throughout the pregnancy, labor and birth.
Involvement of both parents participating in Hypnosis and Fear Release sessions, providing a united sense of calm and confidence.
Shorter labors due to lack of resistance in the birthing muscles.
Fewer complications and interventions, as the body and mind stay completely relaxed during labor.
Posterior and Breech babies can be turned with hypnosis as well.
Fewer drugs or no drugs at all, means less risk of harmful side effects for you and baby.
Elimination of the Fear/Tension/Pain Syndrome.
Hypnosis tracks and scripts are used in labor to effect post hypnotic suggestions for elimination of discomfort and relaxation.
We are asked many times about the difference between Hypnobabies vs Hypno-Birthing and how to have shorter labors, and we answer that question by telling you our class benefits without disparaging any other particular group. Other natural childbirth courses have excellent benefits that help many people have better, more relaxed births. We celebrate them and what they do every day for birthing people!
In Hypnobabies, our goals are to help pregnant couples bond with their baby in utero, teach how to stay healthy and low-risk, trust in your body, mind and baby, as well as become self-reliant and confident about birthing your own way; safely and *in much more physical comfort*.
We overcome negative belief systems and programming, get you in touch with your own beautiful pregnant body, support you through your own excellent birth experience and give you skills that you will use for the rest of your life. Birth Partners are brought into the preparation process and have their own hypnosis cues for becoming relaxed and calm, as well as a special role to play as they await the birth of the precious newborn with their pregnant partner.
We use real, medical-grade, somnambulistic childbirth hypnosis techniques, addressing the mind, body, and spirit of both pregnant student and baby, so our success and satisfaction rates are wonderful and very gratifying. Our goal is helping families to “enjoy your baby’s birth in comfort, joy and love”!
Hypnobabies is very detailed, comprehensive and successful, uses medical hypnotic anesthesia techniques, from Gerald Kein’s powerful Painless Childbirth program, as opposed to simple visualization and imagery. Hypnobabies contains the same kinds of powerful somnambulistic hypnosis scripts used by people who undergo surgery successfully using hypnosis as their only anesthetic – people that are allergic to medical anesthesia and use *only* Hypno-anesthesia techniques during surgery – the same one used in Hypnobabies!
Long before they ever step foot in their first Hypnobabies class, our Hypno-moms receive their first 2 hypnosis audio tracks: Your Special Place, which allows them to learn and become proficient in deep physical relaxation, and Easy, Comfortable Childbirth, enabling them to easily master deep hypnosis and positive birth training. Each Hypno-mom is then able to create deep physical relaxation and practice their hypnosis skills for several weeks (or months!) before Hypnobabies Class even starts. This makes it much easier to learn their Hypnobabies Hypno-anesthesia techniques in each class, bringing the Birth Partner into the preparation, (if they have one) and also how to use hypnosis for many other issues: nausea elimination, back and hip pain, insomnia, pre-term labor, pre-term bleeding, perineal massage, internal exams, turning a breech, etc.
16 powerful, deep hypnosis audio tracks for use by our Hypno-Students as they learn, practice and use their Hypnobabies program. We also include 1 hypnosis track for our Birth Partners so that they can easily become calm and relaxed about pregnancy and childbirth.
Unique to Hypnobabies: Since the background music in all of our Hypnobabies hypnosis audio tracks becomes a part of the hypnotic induction process, it contains “binaural beats”. This process allows the brain waves to synchronize (brain wave entrainment) which provides our Hypno-student and Birth Partners to enter hypnosis faster and attain a deeper state of hypnosis called “somnambulism”, where Hypno-anesthesia is more easily created and accessed. This is a very important unique feature of Hypnobabies since our expectant and birthing Hypnobabies students can enter hypnosis instantly and become physically comfortable and emotionally confident as soon as the music begins!
2 separate hypnosis cues for entering hypnosis quickly and deeply, and 7 hypnotic deepening techniques. These are important since each student’s needs are unique during labor, and since they have learned and practiced these cues many times, they can choose which ones are most effective as they give birth to their baby.
These hypnosis scripts are in booklet form, for use by our Hypno-Couples to work with as a team. Our Hypnobabies students participate in one new hypnosis script each week in class and their hypnosis scripts booklet provides them with that same script to work with for reinforcement during the next week. This makes a huge difference when training the inner mind for success of any kind. It is called “compounding” in the world of hypnosis and is necessary for hypnotic suggestions to be retained by the subconscious. Working on progressively more powerful scripts several times week together also allows our students to become “hypno-trained” to the touch and voice of their birth partner and therefore respond much more easily and quickly to birthing cues during labor.
We provide partners their own Birth Partner’s hypnosis recording for a calm and confident attitude towards pregnancy and childbirth, and their own detailed Birth Partner’s Guide booklet for labor, which allows them to fully learn and feel confident about their role in the preparation for baby’s birth as well as easily supporting their pregnant partner during birthing. This includes 4 pages of verbal birthing cues which keep their partner in hypnosis during first stage, transition, beginning to push, the pushing phase as well as tools for remaining calm, relaxed, confident and comfortable in between contractions.
Hypnobabies is also successful for those whose partners will not be participating in their birth preparation process since we have specific information and well as personal help and support for single students, to make their Hypnobabies journey easier and more fulfilling. All of our Hypno-anesthesia techniques can be easily learned, practiced and used alone, or with a Birth Partner or doula.
Hypnobabies is the only birth hypnosis program that does so (see information below, and our Class Outline). This is key to explaining Hypnobabies vs Hypno-Birthing. Providing our *Complete Childbirth Education* ensures that our Hypnobabies students will not need to take other childbirth education classes where techniques and philosophies are learned which can negate childbirth hypnosis instruction. “Pain management and coping skills” are actually opposite of what is learned in Hypnobabies; we teach Pain Elimination by using real Hypno-anesthesia. We have found that attempting to embrace opposing childbirth methods (which create specific belief systems) can be detrimental to success with hypnotic childbirth. Including Complete Childbirth Education is essential for *any* birth hypnosis program.
This allows each student to walk and talk and move around freely yet remain deeply in hypnosis, very relaxed, fully present, aware and in touch with their body and baby and *comfortable while doing so*. Other programs rely on immobility for focus and concentration, which can severely impede the progress of labor and the descent and positioning of the baby.
Our students can experience using their actual Hypnobabies techniques and many different labor positions *while in hypnosis in class* which is invaluable, and also shows the Birth Partner hands-on exactly how to use their cues and assistance. What a confidence builder and has made a huge difference in success rates here at Hypnobabies!
This includes tools to help you mentally and emotionally *practice* entering labor, experience your comfortable birthing techniques and give birth easily and in a very detailed and personal way. This “mental birthing rehearsal” is very important to the process of easy and comfortable birthing and is done many times until your Hypno-baby is born, helping program your subconscious mind to produce exactly the kind of birthing you want. Athletes and public speakers of all kinds do this to prepare with great success, and so do our Hypno-students!
Our tracks include constant hypnotic relaxation and Hypno-anesthesia suggestions for both the first stage of labor and the pushing phase (avoiding the “ring of fire” and mother-directed pushing) as well as “positive birth team” hypnosis throughout. Birth Professionals are fascinated at how completely relaxed and physically comfortable our students are, how easily they are able to move around and communicate and still be deeply hypnotized, and how “in control” they are of their bodies, minds and emotions. Our Hypnobabies students tell us that our birth tracks are “Pure Gold!”
We require our Certified Hypnobabies Instructors have a fully trained background in Childbirth and a minimum of 50 hours of Hypnosis training before becoming accepted into our Hypnobabies Instructor Training Program. This ensures that as a Hypnobabies Instructor, all childbirth questions and concerns from each Hypno-couple can be addressed, hypnotic depth can be assessed, and problems such as resistance and abreaction can easily be dealt with. We also require 40 hours of Hypnobabies Instructor Training and have a demanding and rigorous Instructor Certification process.
Instructors can help before, during and after your Hypno-baby is born. We also have a free online Hypnobabies support forum for our pregnant students attended by certified Hypnobabies Instructors for support and encouragement so that you can enjoy a community where others are using Hypnobabies as well.
Although other childbirth programs may contain some excellent hypno-tools for birthing, none contain the amount of information, in depth hypno-anesthesia, training, practice and support of Hypnobabies. All elements have been carefully designed to work together and the results are excellent. Learn when and how to enroll here ➛
