- Teaches techniques to achieve deep levels of relaxation to eliminate the fear that causes tension and, thus, pain
- Greatly reduces and often eliminates the need for chemical painkillers and drugs
- Shortens the first phase of labor
- Leaves mother alert, fresh, awake and with energy
- Helps keep oxygen supplied to baby during birthing
- Reduces and often eliminates fatigue during labor
- Teaches breathing techniques that allow a woman to gently breathe her baby into the world without the violence of hard, coached physical pushing
- How to tune into your body and follow your instincts
How Classes Are Set Up
Class Structure
HypnoBirthing® is offered as five (5) 3-ish hour classes.
Group Classes vs. Private Classes
Parents and support people have the option of attending their HypnoBirthing® class sessions in either a group setting or a private setting.
Group Classes
Group classes consist of anywhere from 2-10 couples (4-20 people).
Though having a birth companion or partner is strongly encouraged, it is not a requirement.
Private Classes
Private classes consist of the pregnant person and a companion of their choice in their own desired space at a time that works best for them. Some parents prefer individualized one on one attention for the duration of the course and opt for private classes.
Whatever option you choose, the materials and class info offered is exactly the same.

Virtual classes are taught via zoom.
In-person Group classes are taught at Vertical Dance Co. in Callaway, MD
