Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration - a state of mind and body in which we communicate suggestions to our subconscious mind. This part of our mind influences what we think, how we feel, and the choices we make. Self-hypnosis requires a commitment to practice techniques which will allow your body to conserve energy and birth your baby as nature intended.

Many satisfied couples attest to the benefits of using the class materials and techniques throughout pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum.
