HypnoBirthing

The Mongan Method

• Eliminates the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during and after birthing.
• Eliminates or greatly reduces the need for chemical painkillers.
• Shortens the first stage of labour by several hours.
• Eliminates fatigue during labour, leaving mother fresh, awake and with energy for actual birthing.
• Eliminates risk of hyperventilation from “shallow” breathing methods.
• Promotes special bonding of mother, baby and birthing companion.
• More rapid postnatal recovery.
• Returns birthing to the beautiful, peaceful experience that nature intended.
• Creates a more integral role for the birthing companion.

What Parents are saying

“How could I believe when I had gone through, not one, but two, long and excruciating labours? I was petrified. Then I found HypnoBirthing. This birth took four and a half hours. I was relaxed and comfortable all the way. It was wonderful.”

“I was with my wife for the birth of our first child. It was a bad experience for us. Most of the techniques we practiced from the other course just weren’t there for us. HypnoBirthing was far more than we had even hoped for. Our daughter came into the world so easily and in such a calm atmosphere.”

“I kept telling myself all I would feel is pressure - and it works. That’s all I did feel. What a difference from my first labour.”

“I read of the advantages of self-hypnosis and relaxation in a magazine and set out to find a programme that could teach me the method. I’m so happy I found HypnoBirthing. This was our first baby and my active labour was only three hours from start to end. We were thrilled.”

Helen is currently offering the programme to couples (mother and birth partner) as home visits. This allows for more flexibility with times and days and the opportunity for couples to be more relaxed in familiar surroundings.

The programme consists of 5 x 2 hour sessions, plus the book, CD’s and a folder of handouts. The package fee is £450.
