More about HypnoBirthing®
The concept of HypnoBirthing® is not new, but rather a “rebirth” of the philosophy of birthing as it existed thousands of years ago. It was recaptured in the work of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, an English obstetrician, who, in the 1920s, was one of the first to forward the concept of natural birthing. The method teaches you that, in the absence of fear and tension, or special medical circumstances, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor.
You will gain an understanding of how the birthing muscles work in perfect harmony–as they were designed to–when your body is sufficiently relaxed and you trust birth. You will learn how to achieve this kind of relaxation, free of the resistance that fear creates, and you will learn to use your natural birthing instincts for a calm, serene and more comfortable birth.
When you have your baby with HypnoBirthing®, you will not be in a trance or asleep. What you will experience is similar to the flow state, or focusing, that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or a movie or staring into a campfire.
You will be conversant and in good spirits; relaxed, but fully in control. Awake throughout, you will be aware of your body’s surges and your baby’s progress; but because you will have trained yourself to reach complete relaxation, you will be able to determine the degree and the manner in which you will feel the surges. You will experience birthing in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear that prevents the muscles of your body from functioning as nature intended them to. In this calm state, your body’s natural relaxant - endorphins, replaces the stress hormones that constrict and cause pain.
Trained HypnoBirthing® educators are successfully teaching women and their birthing companions to trust birth and release all fear and limiting thoughts. HypnoBirthing®practitioners can be found in 46 countries throughout the world.
the HypnoBirthing® institute Mission statement
The HypnoBirthing® Institute is a privately owned corporation with a single mission — to provide the highest quality childbirth education to women and their partners; to assist them in achieving calm, safe, and gentle birthing, and to bring about an awareness of the importance of the consciousness of the developing baby and the essence of the growing child. The Institute came into existence to make the HypnoBirthing® philosophy, theories, and the techniques more widely available to those who are seeking the best possible birth experience for themselves and their babies and to provide a platform for those birthing professionals who are seeking a return to the concept of birth as a safe and joyful celebration of life. Also involved in this global mission are our practitioners from all over the world, who, learning of the HypnoBirthing® philosophy, have felt compelled to share in creating a better world by helping to create safer, more comfortable, and happier birth experiences for all women.
