Hypnotherapy Childbirth Classes and Fertility Therapy

HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method with Hypnotherapist & Childbirth Educator Andres Soto

'A celebration of life… The way it was meant to be.'

What is HypnoBirthing?

HypnoBirthing is one of the gentlest, calm and joyful ways to bring your baby into the world. This relaxing, stress-free method of birthing has become popular around the world, allowing mothers, their babies and birthing companions to experience birth in an easier, more comfortable and often pain-free manner.

Over five 2.5 hour classes, the HypnoBirthing program - as developed by Marie Mongan - will prepare you physically, mentally and spiritually for what is one of the most significant moments in your life. By embracing the HypnoBirthing philosophy, through deep relaxation, self hypnosis and education, you can effectively tap into your natural birthing instincts and birth your baby with ease and safety.

The HypnoBirthing Advantage

Eliminates the Fear-Tension Pain Syndrome before, during and after birthing

Reduces, and often eliminates, the need for chemical anaesthesia, episiotomy, and other interventions

Lessens fatigue during labour, leaving mother fresh, awake, and energised as she bring her baby into the world

Shortens the thinning and opening phase of labour by several hours and allows the birthing mother to utilise the natural pulsations of her body to breathe her baby down to the crowning stage, rather than pushing for long exhausting periods of time. Reduces risk of pelvic floor damage

Brings the mother, the baby, and the birthing companion together in a wonderful prenatal, perinatal and postnatal bonding experience

The birthing companion is an integral part of the birthing, not an onlooker

Almost entirely eliminates postnatal discomfort

Babies are better adjusted and happier, resulting in better eating and sleeping routines

Mothers don’t run the risk of hyperventilating from shallow breathing

Birthing is returned to the safe, beautiful, peaceful experience that nature intended
