HypnoBirthing Classes...

Classes are taught in a 5 week series as required by the HypnoBirthing® Institute. Classes are  2 1/2 to 3 hours in length. Classes start on time and end on time because  I am respectful of your various schedules.

If you have to miss a class - private makeup sessions are $65.00.

The HypnoBirthing® textbook and Rainbow Relaxation CD set are included in the price of the class, as well as all handouts.

It is recommended that you take the classes sometime between month 5-8 of your pregnancy. However, it is never too early to sign up. The earlier in your pregnancy that you take this class, the more time you will have to practice! And, it is never too late either. You can always benefit from taking the HypnoBirthing® classes regardless of when you take them. Moms that have taken private classes during their last weeks have had as much success as those that took the classes in the first trimester.

  Before the classes begin it is recommended that you read the book "HypnoBirthing®, the Mongan Method."  At the very least - you need to read the first 80 - 90 pages before the beginning of classes. When you pay your deposit and complete the registration form we can meet with you and give you a copy of the textbook along with 2 practice cd's or mail them. You will need to bring your book with you to each class and something to take notes on. Also, feel free to dress comfortably and bring snacks/drinks.
