HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method

Childbirth Education Classes in Brampton, Caledon & Orangeville

HypnoBirthing® is based on the belief that babies can be born into the world gently and joyfully, and that mothers give birth calmly and comfortably. Many women have no idea how their body's are supposed to work in labour, and more importantly, how best to support their body's ability to birth. Through education, breathing techniques, relaxation, visualization, self-hypnosis and more, this class will bring you closer to achieving your ideal birth experience. 

how is this class different from other prenatal classes?

HypnoBirthing® classes are taught as a 4 week series, and each class is 3 hours in length. Sarah and Carol Anne are both Certified HypnoBirthing® Practitioners and believe that this is one of the most comprehensive and all encompassing birth preparation courses available to families.  ​Carol Anne and Sarah teach this class together and students love that they get two perspectives and a combined 15 years of birth doula knowledge. Our classes are interactive, inspiring, fun and empowering. Expectant parents learn more about biology, birth options, and themselves, and they also make lasting friendships with their classmates.

This all encompassing class will cover such topics as:

• understanding our birth culture
• identifying common myths about childbirth
• letting go of anxiety and fear around birth
• how our bodies work in labour and birth
• breathing techniques (three different types)
• instant and deepening relaxation techniques
• traditional pushing vs. birth breathing and the
  Natural Expulsive Relfex
• the prenatal and postpartum parent
• the importance of bonding with your infant prenatally
  & in the postpartum
• visualization techniques
• how to use positive affirmation for pregnancy & labour
• birth preferences and planning
• labour management styles
• options for birth
• special circumstances in pregnancy & labour
• artificial & natural induction & augmentation methods
• hallmarks of labour
• the supportive role of the Birth Companion and doula
• weekly birth videos 

The HypnoBirthing class taught me that the female body is designed to birth and that helped relieve me of my fears. I learned various techniques and ways to keep calm, breathe properly and keep focused.  I loved how it was evidence based, up-to-date and fun.

With our 2nd child's birth we wanted a different experience so we signed up for HypnoBirthing.  We wanted to avoid medical intervention this time around.  We highly recommend HypnoBirthing and having doula support! Natural, pain free birth is very possible when you have right tools and support!

I just wanted to say thank you for such an awesome HypnoBirthing class!  You guys made it so much fun for my husband and I.  We learned so much more than we thought and the techniques really helped with my birth.

My husband & I took the HypnoBirthing classes - we learned so much while also having lots of laughs!  I found it so amazing to learn about how my body and baby work together in labour and this helped me gain confidence in the process.
