HypnoBirthing
What is HypnoBirthing?
It is a philosophy of birth. Do you tell your lungs to breathe? Your heart to beat? Just like our bodies know how and when to do these things without direction, our bodies know how and when to birth. We do it instinctually.
HypnoBirthing is an extraordinary childbirth education program unlike any other. This isn't just any conventional childbirth program; it's a transformative philosophy that harnesses the incredible connection between your mind and body. Hypnobirthing is built upon an educational framework of self-understanding, special breathing techniques, relaxation, visualization, and meditative practice.
It’s comprehensive, so you’ll get all of the thorough birth education you need in addition to learning hypnotic and relaxation practices!
We dispel the myths that society weaves around childbirth, and instead embrace the powerful and transformative experience that it is. You’ll leave this class feeling excited about your upcoming birth experience.

Is it actually hypnosis?
Yes! But I can guarantee it's not what you're thinking. Nearly everyone has experienced hypnosis, and most people don't realize it. Have you ever gotten caught up while watching a campfire? Have you ever daydreamed? Have you ever driven to work, and then realized you don't remember much about that drive? These are all examples of hypnosis.
Through self-hypnosis, special breathing, and visualization, HypnoBirthing teaches you to release fear and to trust your body's ability to birth instinctively.
You are not in a trance or in a sleep state. Actually, when you are able to relax and let your inner consciousness take over, you are more in control than at any other time. You will remember everything, and those interferences that happen during the typical birthing experience just won't phase you. You will be more alert, aware, and ready to meet your baby than if you hadn't birthed using hypnosis.

About the Educator
Renee began her HypnoBirthing experience during her pregnancy of her second child. She had researched and accomplished physiological birth for her first baby, but felt like she was missing an integral part of the experience.
Renee found the HypnoBirthing book and studied it. She learned how to use her mind with her body to create a less fearful experience. Her third birth was even faster, even more comfortable.
It was after her third birth that Renee decided there needed to be greater access to this amazing childbirth philosophy. Renee sought out HypnoBirthing Educator Certification training, and was fortunate to be taught by founder Marie Mongan in May 2018.
In 2019, Renee gave birth to her fourth baby, in what can only be described as a “magical HypnoBirth.”
Since she began teaching in 2018, Renee has taught countless families the best kept secret in childbirth. She loves to learn about her students and help them craft their vision of their best birth experience. Through her years of experience as a birth and postpartum doula, she is well-versed in birth in all settings and situations.
