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.
