HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method
Taught by Angela Shalenko, HBCE

HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a method of childbirth preparation based on the belief that when mothers experience a relaxed, calm birthing—consequently their babies enter the world into a gentler, joyful, more peaceful atmosphere.
HypnoBirthng® teaches that without fear and tension labor and birth need not be painful. At the very least, labor and birth can be more comfortable. A relaxed mind allows the body to work as nature intended.

Through a five week course you will practice positive thinking, relaxation, visualization, breathing, and physical preparation. A natural, empowering birth is your right as a woman and mother.
