These days, everyone is busy and we know that you want to prepare for your birth and postpartum.  But at the same time, it's difficult to find time to go to classes week after week.  We've designed our curriculum to do the most important things in person at our two classes and then we give you our videos, homework, and other resources for the three online classes at home on your own time.  Our classes provide the education that families need to understand common scenarios in labor, make informed decisions about their care, and be prepared for their birth.  

Class 1 (online): Nutrition and exercise in pregnancy and facilitating great communication with your care providers

Class 2 (in-person): What to expect in each stage of labor, comfort techniques, and positions to use in labor

Class 3 (online): When and why different medical interventions may be needed in birth

Class 4 (in-person): The pros and cons of interventions, cesarean birth, the immediate postpartum period, and developing your preferences

Class 5 (online): The fourth trimester, newborn care, and postpartum preparation for the whole family
One of the greatest benefits of taking this childbirth class is that we are able to cover a lot of material in a very short amount of time since there's the online portion that you can do at your own pace.

Sarah Carter and Jessica Bower teach this class together.  Sarah taught The Bradley Method Childbirth classes to hundreds of students and Jessica has a Master's Degree in Education.  Together they have attended over 350 births and they bring their passion for education and experience in birth to you in this unique class.   The cost of the class is $150.  This includes all materials, 2 in-person classes (6 hours of in-person instruction) and the 3 online classes as well.

Virtual HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education

For questions or registration click here!

What is HypnoBirthing?

HypnoBirthing concepts have been around for ages. Hundreds of years ago, women gave birth in a supportive environment, often attended by other women who were experienced in labor and birth. Free of fear and confident in their own bodies, women birthed their babies into the world calmly and easily. HypnoBirthing helps women release modern fear-based myths about birth and begin to learn the techniques that will help them give birth peacefully and free of the fear and tension that can cause pain.

Developed by Marie Mongan, a mother, grandmother and hypnotherapist, HypnoBirthing was developed over three decades ago. Since then, many women, including Kate Middleton, Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie, have used HypnoBirthing techniques to birth their babies.  Karen was certified by the HypnoBirthing® Institute and is excited to share the HypnoBirthing concepts and techniques with expectant mothers in NC.  

The best part of HypnoBirthing? You can’t do it wrong!  HypnoBirthing techniques can be used with no pain medication, epidurals, caesarians, inductions, VBAC – however your birth unfolds. 

The Benefits of HypnoBirthing

  • 50% fewer epidurals

  • 45% reduction in cesarean section births

  • Shorter labor by an average of 3 hours

  • Decreased use of artificial induction

  • Fewer pre-term and low-weight babies

  • Reduction or elimination of fatigue during labour, leaving the mother fresh, awake and with energy for the birthing

  • Happier and more content mothers and babies

  • More alert babies who are  able to nurse almost immediately

  • Special bonding  between the mother, baby and birthing companion

  • Fewer cases of postnatal depression 

  • Faster recovery after labor

  • Active role for birthing companion

  • Ongoing skills in relaxation and self-hypnosis to manage everyday stress
