Enjoy the rewards that come from teaching

release, and guided imagery to assist pregnant couples in achieving
a safer
and more comfortable birthing that mirrors nature. Join the
international
network of HypnoBirthing childbirth educators, who are finding it
professionally and financially exciting to teach the most remarkable
technique to appear on the birthing scene in several decades
You Will Learn:
* Everything you need to know to teach safer,
easier, and more comfortable birthing;
* How to explode the myth that pain is a
necessary accompaniment to labor;
* What's wrong with labor as it exists with
most other childbirth methods;
* To teach techniques of deep relaxation
to eliminate the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome;
* How a woman's body is naturally designed
to conceive, nurture and birth her babies with ease and comfort;
* How to create the body's own natural epidural,
the only safe labor enhancement;
* Natural ways of bringing the body into
labor without artificial chemical induction;
* How to teach couples to create a birthing
environment that is calm, serene, and joyful rather than tense and
stressful;
* Gentle birthing techniques that teach
a woman to breath her baby into the world without the violence of
hard physical pushing; and
* How to teach the birthing companion his
or her general role in assuring a safe, serene and comfortable birthing
for mother and baby.
The HypnoBirthing Childbirth Method is as much a philosophy of birth
as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing and stress-free
birthing. HypnoBirthing teaches pregnant women and their
birthing companions the art and joy of experiencing birth in a safer,
more comfortable manner. Women
learn how to call upon their bodies¹ own natural epidural and thus
eliminate the need for medication. When a women is properly
prepared for childbirth and when the mind and body are in harmony,
nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that
it does with all other creatures.
You will be fascinated as you view HypnoBirthing videos showing
laboring mothers, awake, alert and in good humor as they experience
safe, gentle birth; free of the Fear Tension-Pain Syndrome.
HypnoBirthing teaches a woman how to release all prior programming
about birth, how to trust her body
and work with it, as well as how to free herself of harmful emotions
that lead to pain-causing fear and unyielding muscles.
HypnoBirthing helps women rediscover their natural birthing instincts,
with most births requiring little or no intervention. HypnoBirthing
moms are aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed as they
bring their babies into the world.
"My client and student of HypnoBirthing walked into the hospital
at 8 cms fully relaxed and calm and limp. She used her body to push
the baby out when she felt ready ... my thanks to you for being
a great instructor and giving me this wonderful gift to teach. Had
it not been for your encouragement I would not have had this wonderful
experience."
Debbie Rotunno, Doula
