The Birthing Tool Box

“Demand the original… Expect the best” The HypnoBirthing Method: Kathy is a wonderfully wise practitioner. —Marie Mongan

In HypnoBirthing® Original Mongan Method, Mickey Mongan shows us how parents and practitioners can “take our birthing world by Calm”. During the five classes over the last few months of the pregnancy, we introduce the parents to the ancient practice of labouring in a state of peace and calm, Utilizing her breath, and following the signals from her body, mothers have a new sense of control and realize very quickly when she works WITH her body, labour is manageable! Breathing deeply, eyes are closed; she is fully able to breathe and maintain her deeply relaxed state allowing her birthing muscles to receive all the oxygenated blood they need to do the excellent job they were designed to do! Yes, the mother can open her eyes, speak with anyone and then take herself back down deep into her inner place of quiet quickly and effectively as needed to support the “surges”.

Thanks again for everything!  Writing this made me realize yet again just how much you contributed!  —Ruth

Kathy stuck with us and as the birth approached.  Much to my relief, she volunteered to be part of the birth. Kathy was there talking to me and comforting me with gentle touch massage.

Kathy, again well beyond the call of duty, sat in the back seat of the car with me, en route to the hospital. —

Kathy was able to keep me in a relaxed state by suggesting that I was still in the water. I believe the hypnobirthing helped accelerate the labour so that dilation from 2 cm to complete took only a few short hours during which I was unaware of time passing or of the surges increasing in intensity. I also believe that it contributed to my ability to have a completely natural childbirth without tearing. Finally and most importantly, Marisa is a true “hypnobirthing baby”, bright and alert, calm, and advanced in developmental milestones.
