When is the best time to take the class?
  
HypnoBirthing is different than other childbirth classes, where you might “cram” at the end of pregnancy, and learn some techniques, etc. The sooner you begin, the better. This is because you are saturating your nervous system with the messages you want and choose as you do your practice. You are literally creating new neural pathways in your brain. People often ask about what if they have to miss a class or two, are going out of town on vacation, or what if they are only 8 weeks pregnant? I encourage you to dive in now, and complete any missed classes in a future series (no extra cost).  

Who can come to class with me?
The class is designed for couples, and you are welcome to bring a doula, etc if that person will be a main support for you during your labor. If your birthing partner cannot attend the class with you, we will partner with you in any exercise that is designed for two.
  

What makes this class stand out from other classes?  
Because you train yourself to work with mind and body, HypnoBirthing lasts a lifetime. When we birth our babies gently and easily with calmness and love we are giving them the foundational security of feeling welcomed and loved throughout life. For mothers this calm confident way of opening and breathing a baby into the world brings empowerment extraordinaire. For birth partners and fathers, active participation creates an extreme loving bond that begins before birth and lasts for a lifetime.

BONUS:  ONE ON ONE ATTENTION

Class tuition includes a one-one  consultation if needed during your pregnancy.  Students  who have special questions about their particular situation or questions about their practice can schedule a free consultation.
I’ve been working to help women in natural birth for over 30 years and HypnoBirthing is THE MOST EFFECTIVE philosophy and technique for childbirth preparation that I have ever encountered.
HypnoBirthing moms are more conscious, more alert, more aware than I have seen in other moms during childbirth. They are deeply focused within, but they are NOT in some kind of far-away trance state, or out of the body state. It is very common for a HypnoBirthing mom to tell ME when she knows her waters are about to release, or that she knows and feels her baby moving down. Deep calm relaxing, lots of focus and connection with baby, less “drama” = more PRESENCE HypnoBirthing in Ashland HypnoBirthing in Medford Childbirth Class in Medford
