Why Choose Hypnobabies?

Unlike traditional relaxation techniques, Hypnobabies® uses medical-grade hypnosis techniques based on Gerald Kein’s “Painless Childbirth Program.” This unique approach, known as “eyes-open childbirth hypnosis,” allows birthing parents to remain deeply in hypnosis while staying mobile—walking, talking, and changing positions with ease.

Many Hypnobabies participants report shorter, easier, and more comfortable labors, transforming childbirth into a joyful experience. Yes, it really works! By retraining the mind, contractions are experienced as pressure or movement sensations rather than pain.

Types of Classes Available

I’m excited to offer a variety of class options to fit your schedule and needs:

• In-person Hypnobabies Classes
• Remote (virtual) Hypnobabies Classes
• Hybrid Classes (partly in-person, partly remote)

Who Should Attend?

Hypnobabies classes are ideal for anyone seeking a more relaxed, enjoyable, and comfortable birthing experience. Birth partners also benefit immensely from the program, as they learn how to fully support their partner during the birthing process. As Hypno-mom Courtney shared, her husband became an invaluable part of the process, thanks to Hypnobabies. It truly helps partners feel engaged and empowered.

A Complete Childbirth Education

Hypnobabies isn’t just about hypnosis—it’s a complete childbirth education program. Along with hypnosis techniques, the curriculum covers everything you need to know to feel confident and prepared for childbirth. There’s no need to take any additional classes!

How Does Hypnobabies Work?

Through Hypnobabies, you’ll practice techniques that teach your inner mind to experience contractions more like gentle pressure waves. This is achieved using somnambulistic hypnosis—the same hypnosis techniques used for surgery prep without medication. It’s that powerful!
