"I went for my six-week follow-up with my OB today and she told me that we were still a 'legend' in the hospital Labour and Delivery unit, they still talk about us after 6 weeks. She said the doctor that delivered our baby said HypnoBirthing must work! I said yes it does! I said I also had a great doula and husband who supported me along the way. HypnoBirthing is awesome, I felt a lot of pressure, I was uncomfortable, but I had no pain during my entire labour".
- Annie T. - Mississauga, 2013

What you will learn in HypnoBirthing® classes

HypnoBirthing® classes will empower you with the techniques to achieve a gentle, calm birth, in addition to covering the same material as traditional prenatal classes do, but with a non-fear based approach. HypnoBirthing® prenatal classes are suitable to all parents, whether you are planning to have a midwife or a doctor, a home or a hospital birth, a VBAC or a Cesarean birth. While the Birth Companion of choice does not need to be the biological father, the Birth Companion has a key role to play in the HypnoBirthing® program.

You will be fascinated as you view HypnoBirthing® films, showing labouring mothers, awake, alert and in good humor as they experience the kind of gentle birth that you, too, can know when you are free of the fear that causes pain and tension. Through self-hypnosis, special breathing, and visualization, HypnoBirthing® teaches you to release all prior programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain-causing fear and unyielding muscles.

"The midwives attended the birth of our daughter and all were very impressed by my ability to cope with labor. The midwives almost didn't make it in time, because I was coping so well, I didn't realize how far I had progressed until my water broke when I entered "transition." The skills my husband and I learned in HypnoBirthing gave us confidence and greatly eased my birthing experience. I feel such gratitude for my instructor and the program in general. Throughout my labor I kept reciting my favorite affirmations to myself, and I never felt any fear. Looking back on my experience fills me with joy and pride."~ Claire G.

All HypnoBirthing® Classes are taught in five classes, 2 1/2 hours per week. HypnoBirthing® is a very powerful and successful method and this format is necessary to give you the time you need to practice between sessions and to gradually integrate your deep relaxation, breathing, and visualization skills.

Choose the timing that is right for you.
The earlier you start the HypnoBirthing® program, the better. Many women wait until the beginning of their third trimester. However, you may start as early as the beginning of your second trimester, but preferably by 34 weeks. If you are very near to your birthing time, occasionally your Practitioner can make special arrangements for individual classes with you.

HypnoBirthing® classes are not only informative, but dynamic, interactive, and Fun!

Our HypnoBirthing® class series start every 4-6 weeks.
We keep our groups small, to a maximum of 5 couples per group so that you can get the most out of our HypnoBirthing® prenatal course.
Private and semi-private HypnoBirthing® classes offered in Mississauga, Oakville, Brampton, and select parts of the Greater Toronto Area, based on Practitioner availability.
