What is Hypnobabies?

Hypnobabies is a method of childbirth preparation that uses hypnotic techniques, imagery and visualization to re-program the inner mind in a very positive way, and eliminate pain and fear from the birthing experience. This is different from any other kind of hypnotherapy or childbirth education that you will ever do!

With adequate preparation, and in the absence of complications, hypno-mothers have little or no pain and shorter, easier births. Childbirth hypnosis classes are not all the same. Investigate before you sign up and choose the course that best suits your needs.

Hypnobabies is a highly successful program of hypnosis for childbirth, based on the work of Gerald Kein and his Painless Childbirth program. We have also had some wonderful input from Richard Widmeier's New Concepts on Painless Childbirth, and some excellent visualizations from Dr. Gayle Petersen and Shelley Stockwell, PhD. We are grateful to them for their generous contributions. We also have resources in our program from many other talented and gracious authors, which gives Hypnobabies a well-rounded approach to childbirth education.
