HypnoBirthing® Classes | Perth

Are you feeling anxious about giving birth?

The 5 week HypnoBirthing® program will have you well prepared physically, mentally, and spiritually for birthing

​

HypnoBirthing® combines positive, evidence based childbirth education with relaxation and breathing techniques, positive imagery, affirmations, and self-hypnosis

 

The program focuses on birth as a celebration of life!

Rather than a medical event

Give birth with confidence and joy
Be fully informed of your options
Feel more connected to your body, baby and partner
Learn techniques to reduce fear and pain in birth
Be a more conscious parent

I am currently only offering private HypnoBirthing classes - please contact me for more information or see below

Cherished Parenting Services is owned and run solely by Justine - a mother, midwife, and lactation consultant.

 

I used the techniques to birth to my daughter at home in 2014.  I love teaching this program and have seen first hand that it really does work!

​

HypnoBirthing® - the Mongan Method is a complete childbirth education program that teaches couples how they can have a relaxed, empowering, and positive labour and birth experience, regardless of the mode or place

The purpose of the program is to help you achieve a positive birth experience. This does not have to mean a completely natural labour and birth, but rather one where you were in charge of what happened to your body and were able to make fully informed decisions.

​

It is best to start between 20 and 30 weeks.  The earlier you start, the more you can practice the techniques and decide on your birth preferences.  But if you only just stumbled upon this and you are after 30 weeks - don't despair!  Contact me, and we'll see if we can work something out to suit you.

"When we change the way we look at birth, they way we birth changes"

Information for the birth companion
In HypnoBirthing®, the support person is called the 'birth companion'.  Traditionally this is the father of the baby and the mother's husband/partner, but it can be anyone the mother chooses - her mother, sister, a very good friend, etc. 
 
In HypnoBirthing® the birth companion's role is very important.  You are needed to keep the mother 'on track' with her breathing and relaxation.  You are also needed to keep the environment as relaxed and as calm as possible.
​
You will learn many techniques to help keep Mum focused and grounded.  You will also learn what sort of questions you can ask when medical intervention is suggested so you can stay fully informed.

Ultimately you are the advocate, spokesperson, and guide for the birth of this child

Here is a video by Marie Mongan explaining what instinctual birth is.  HypnoBirthing® cannot teach you HOW to give birth but rather reminds you how to trust your body and your baby to give birth safely and calmly

Definition of HypnoBirthing® - the Mongan Method from the official Australian website 

(https://au.hypnobirthing.com/about-hypnobirthing/)
"HypnoBirthing® (is a) rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that when a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally, and spiritually, she can experience the joy of birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable way"
 

Even if you do not fear birth this program can help reinforce your positive beliefs and teach you breathing and relaxation techniques to help you during labour and birth.
 

HypnoBirthing® does not promise you a completely pain free labour and birth, although some people do experience this, and many describe it as 'comfortable'. 

The benefits of HypnoBirthing®:

  • 77% of HypnoBirthing® mothers who birthed vaginally did so without epidural anesthesia

​

  • 45% of HypnoBirthing® mothers birthed in under eight hours.

​

  • 17% of HypnoBirthing® mothers birthed via C-section, compared with the national average of 32% (current stats put the CS rate at 34%).

​

  • 5% of HypnoBirthing® mothers chose to birth in the comfort of their homes (national average is less than 1%)

​​

  • 6% of HypnoBirthing® mothers chose to birth in freestanding birth centres (national average is less than 1%)

HypnoBirthing®-Mongan Method prepares, educates and teaches you to relax, let go and allow your body to birth your baby in a gentle, safe and joyful manner. You are aware and fully in control during your labour and birth, but profoundly relaxed.

 

What’s happens if  special circumstances arise during my birth?

HypnoBirthing® can still be of help to you because it educates you and prepares you to ask questions. Furthermore it teaches you techniques to remain calm and confident. Hence you can make informed choices and still have a positive experience.

When choosing a HypnoBirthing® Educator always look for the gold seal.  It means they have trained and are certified with the HypnoBirthing® International Insitute.  The Institute was founded by Marie Mongan in 1989 - the creator of the HypnoBirthing® program. HypnoBirthing® International has had Educators in Australia since 2000.  Educators undergo extensive training and are provided with ongoing support and education with the Institute.
