Childbirth Education: Preparing for Baby!

HYPNOBIRTHING® - THE MONGAN METHOD is a unique program using hypnosis to achieve an easier, safer, more comfortable natural birth. HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method is a comprehensive, holistic approach to natural childbirth developed to birth your baby easily, naturally, safely, and often in a pain-free manner. Learn simple breathing, relaxation, visualization and self-hypnosis techniques to help prepare both body and mind to work together in harmony throughout your pregnancy and labor. Taught with a family-focused approach that facilitates your journey into motherhood, empowering you and your partner with confidence and to trust both in the natural process of birth as well as in each other as you become new parents. 

This is a five (5) week class. Tuition is for both the birth mother and her partner, and includes textbook, hypnosis audios and additional course handouts.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all classes are still being taught *live* just as before, but will now be virtual via online video conferencing (Zoom) through the end of 2020 (possibly longer).  Just like with the live in-person classes, you should plan to attend all 5 classes.  If you cannot make one of them, there will not be a replay to watch later.  (However, I will spend a brief time with you privately just to quickly go over key things that I covered in the class you had missed.)  If you are concerned about missing some of the dates scheduled due to prior obligations, then you may want to consider a private class where you can create a custom schedule that ensures you won't miss a thing.

Group Classes:  $295.00 per couple

• Please see schedule for next upcoming group dates, or call to find out when the next one will be.

Private Classes:  $795.00 per couple

• Set your own schedule, and have Linda all to yourself for one-on-one childbirth training. This is ideal if you and your partner are not available during the evenings when groups are scheduled, or if your baby is due before the next class will complete. 
• Unlike group classes, private classes can also be scheduled during the week (M-F) in the daytime (9-6) for those who need (or would just prefer) to meet in the daytime.
