CLASSES AND COSTS

Our births influence us to a much greater degree than we have imagined. Babies interpret their surroundings and the emotional climate they find themselves in. As a hypnotherapist and rebirther, I have had many opportunities to see the effects of experiences and decisions that occurred at birth. Rediscovery of these events and re-framing them from an adult point of view has frequently led to new understandings, resolution, and a tremendous sense of freedom.

The opportunity to affect the circumstances during birthing is very exciting to me. Using hypnosis, along with releasing the accumulated personal and societal fears, accelerates the joyful, celebratory feelings and welcomes the newborn in a peaceful, gentler manner.

My classes are designed to help expectant parents build trust and confidence in themselves and the birth process. I teach relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques, share stories, show videos and lead discussions, all designed to show how normal the birth process is.

Preparation for HypnoBirthing®
Participants will need to prepare by reading materials, listening to tapes or CDs and practicing the exercises.

Enrollment fee includes:
• HypnoBirthing® book and CD
• All materials and exercises
• Instruction and guidance with your practitioner

Group classes are small and intimate with usually 4 couples or less. The class runs for 5 weeks with 2.5 hour sessions each week.

The fee is $300 for 5 group sessions with both the mother and her companion as well as an individual session if desired. In special circumstances, private classes may be taught in your home for an additional fee.

Enrollment in HypnoBirthing® is an investment in yourself and in your baby. The relaxation techniques that you will learn to assist you in pregnancy and birthing will benefit you for a lifetime and can be used in many future situations.
