The first question you are asking yourself is “WHAT is HypnoBirthing?” and “Will I remember being hypnotized?“
The simplest answer is that HypnoBirthing is not with intension to confuse the mother in labor but rather to focus her energy and power on a gentle, calm, and natural childbirth.

“Does that mean that I cannot have a medicated labor with HypnoBirthing?“
NOT AT ALL! With HypnoBirthing, you simply have the labor you desire. You meditate on your peace and your power within, although, hypnobirthing labor outcomes do often result in lower rates of intervention.

Probably the most important question to ask is, “How was my instructor trained and certified?”
There is nothing worse than finding out someone read a book or did a Google search and started “training” people claiming to be something they were not. Always check if they are “Gold Seal Certified” through the ORIGINAL HypnoBirthing International the Mongan Method. We have been through extensive training for hypnosis and for birth so that we can bring the best care directly to you anywhere in the WORLD over a five-week (or more) training period.
