HypnoBirthing®, The Mongan Method, is considered the “Gold Standard” of birthing with hypnosis. It is a childbirth education method that empowers women to achieve gentler, easier, more comfortable births. With HypnoBirthing you are not in a trance or sleep state. You are aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed. Research published in the Journal of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health shows that HypnoBirthing mothers experienced: fewer medical inductions; less use of IV fluids; less continuous fetal monitoring; less Pitocin infusion; fewer artificial rupture of membranes; fewer IV/IM anesthesias; fewer episiotomies; fewer epidural anesthesias; fewer Caesarian sections; and use of a wider variety of birthing positions than mothers who did not use HypnoBirthing.
Although Lori Nicholson is a huge fan of HypnoBirthing, she is no longer teaching it and is no longer a Faculty Member of HypnoBirthing International (HBI).
