Preparing to welcome a new edition to the family is a life changing experience. HypnoBirthing® - the Mongan Method- offers a remarkably simple and relaxed approach to birthing and also guides you into your new role as parents and bonding as a family.

HypnoBirthing® is a rewarding, relaxing and stressfree method of birthing and is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentility, calm and joy.

Through a program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis and education, HypnoBirthing® teaches the mother to embrace her body’s innate knowledge of birthing, to relax into the birthing process, working with her body and her baby.

The result is a truly rewarding and satisfying birth experience with the entire family, including the baby, being awake, alert and calm yet energized.

The Philosophy

The philosophy behind HypnoBirthing® is that when we are fearful stress hormones are released as the body prepares itself to fight, flee or freeze. In this state most of the blood and oxygen are diverted from parts of the body which are considered non-essential (such as the uterus) for immediate survival to the major organs and extremities. As a result the muscles tense and start to work against each other and the body experiences pain (and as athletes know, when lactic acid accumulates and the blood flow fails to clear the build-up, then pain occurs).
