HypnoBirthing® Classes:
The Mongan Method

HypnoBirthing,® the Mongan method, is a childbirth education method that teaches couples how to safely and more comfortably give birth utilizing guided imagery, visualization and special breathing techniques. Each class is comprised of 5, two and a half to three hour sessions.

In 2000, I became a HypnoBirthing® ChildBirth Educator (Mongan Method) because I loved working with birthing mothers when I was in Nursing school in the late 70's and I wanted to support women to think of birth in an empowered way. I saw that mainstream America had succeeded in convincing "modern women" that birth had to be an unbearably painful, difficult experience that a woman's body couldn't handle, so women might as well relinquish control of their natural birthing wisdom and medicate their bodies and babies with the latest pain meds and birth ripening agents available.
