Hypnobabies Home Study Advantage Bonus Class for Home Study Students
The Hypnobabies Home Study is a complete Hypnosis for Childbirth Program that you can do at home and is available for purchase separately online through the Hypnobabies Store: http://www.hypnobabies-store.com/link.cgi?affiliateID=157. If you are a Hypnobabies Home Study Mom in Orange County, I offer a Home Study Advantage Class! It is a terrific option for expanding your practice.
The Home Study Advantage Class is a private class lasting about 3-4 hours, but can be split into 2 classes if preferred, with the second class dedicated to the birth rehearsal. In this class you get private dedicated attention from an experience educator in which you:
- will learn more about Transformation
- will learn more about the pushing stage of birth
- will learn how to put all of your Hypnobabies cues, techniques and scripts to use
- will do a Birth Rehearsal to become familiar with how all of your Hypnobabies tools work together as you practice them in different positions and scenarios
- can bring your birth partner and even your doula to this class so everyone can participate in the Birth Rehearsal
- will gain confidence with your techniques!
What is Hypnobabies and why does it work?
Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis is a method of childbirth preparation that teaches hypnotic techniques, imagery and visualization to re-program the inner mind in a very positive way, which helps to lesson and in many cases, eliminate, discomfort and fear from the birthing experience. With adequate preparation, and in the absence of complications, our Hypno-mothers can experience comfortable, shorter, easier births.
The course is taught once a week for 6 weeks, and each class is 3 1/2 hours long. Hypnobabies is a complete childbirth education course: we teach staying healthy and low risk, detailed Birthing Choices information for creating Informed Consent, an in-depth nutrition and exercise program, Optimum Fetal Positioning, turning a posterior baby, Anatomy and Physiology of Birth, avoiding back labor, birth empowerment skills, and includes full training for Birth Partners, Quick Reference handouts for labor, as well as Birthing Rehearsals using Hypnobabies techniques in class. We also teach detailed information on Newborn Care, Breastfeeding and Postpartum care for our moms.
Hypnobabies uses real Medical Hypnosis techniques called "hypno-anesthesia" which are learned, practiced and used in a much deeper state of hypnosis. These are the same ones used for non-anesthetic medical and dental surgical procedures, (for those people who are allergic to medical anesthetics) and we have a very high rate of unmedicated, comfortable births.
How is Hypnobabies different from other Childbirth Hypnosis programs?
We are asked many times what is the difference between Hypnobabies and other natural childbirth or birth hypnosis programs, and here we answer that question by telling you what we do well without disparaging any other particular group. Other natural childbirth courses have excellent programs and benefits that have helped many women have better, more relaxed births. We recognize that and celebrate them and what they do every day for birthing women!
In Hypnobabies, our objectives are to help our pregnant couples bond with their baby in utero, teach you how to stay healthy and low-risk and be an excellent consumer, trust in your body, mind and baby, as well as become self-reliant and confident about birthing your own way; unmedicated, safely and in comfort. We overcome negative belief systems and programming, get you in touch with your own beautiful pregnant body, guide you through your own excellent birth experience and give you skills that you will use for the rest of your life. Birth Partners are brought into the preparation process and have their own hypnotic relaxation cues, as well as a special role to play as they await the birth of the precious newborn with our Hypno-mom. Since we use real medical hypnosis techniques, addressing the mind, body, and spirit of both Mother and Baby, our success rate is wonderful and very gratifying!
We are not a regular birth hypnosis class. Hypnobabies is very detailed and successful, uses medical hypnotic anesthesia techniques, from Gerald Kein's amazing Painless Childbirth program, as opposed to simple visualization and imagery, and contains the same kinds of hypnotic scripts used by people who undergo surgery successfully with hypnosis as their only anesthetic.
We also *fully* train our Birth Partners by giving them their own Birth Partner’s hypnosis track for a calm and confident attitude towards pregnancy and childbirth, and their own detailed Birth Partner's Guide booklet for labor, which allows them to fully grasp their role in the preparation for baby’s birth as well as easily helping the Hypno-Mom during birthing. This is unique to Hypnobabies and we are very proud of this feature.
Hypnobabies can also be very successfully used by Single Mothers or those whose partners will not be participating in their birth preparation process. All of our hypno-anesthesia techniques can be easily learned, practiced and used alone, or with a Birth Partner or doula. We have specific track sets and help for single Hypno-Moms, to make their Hypnobabies journey easier and more fulfilling.
Hypnobabies classes also provide excellent and Complete Childbirth Education, and we are the only birth hypnosis program that does so. Providing our *Complete Childbirth Education* ensures that our wonderful students will not have to take other natural childbirth classes whose philosophy is so different that it negates what they have learned in our birth hypnosis class. "Pain management and coping skills" are actually opposite of what is learned in Hypnobabies; we teach Pain Elimination by using real hypno-anesthesia.
Long before they ever step foot in their first Hypnobabies class, our Hypno-moms get to meet their baby and bond with him/her in a track called Your Special Place, and the second track is Painless Childbirth, which helps teach you how childbirth can easily be so comfortable. (de-programming them from the usual childbirth horror stories, and written by Gerald Kein.) Each Hypno-Mom is able to learn deep relaxation and hypnosis skills for several weeks (or months!) before Hypnobabies Class even starts. This makes it much easier to learn her Hypnobabies Hypno-anesthesia Techniques in each class, bringing the Birth Partner into the preparation, (if they have one) and also how to use hypnosis for many other things: nausea elimination, back and hip pain, insomnia, pre-term labor, pre-term bleeding, perineal massage, internal exams, turning a breech, etc.
One main difference is that our students participate in a hypnosis script each week in class and then have that *same script to work with* for reinforcement during the next week, which makes a huge difference when programming the inner mind for success. It is called "compounding" in the world of hypnosis, is necessary for hypnotic suggestions to be retained by the woman's subconscious, and is unique to Hypnobabies classes.
Hypnobabies also has "Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis",which allows each wonderful Hypno-mom to walk and talk and move around freely yet remain very relaxed, fully present, aware and in touch with her body and baby and *completely comfortable while doing so*. Other programs rely on immobility for focus and concentration, which can severely impede the progress of labor and the descent and positioning of the baby. An upright, "Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis mommy means a faster and easier birthing!
We also do Birthing Rehearsals in class # 6 so that our Hypno-moms can experience using their actual Hypnobabies techniques and many different labor positions *while in hypnosis in class* which is invaluable, and also shows the Birth Partner hands-on exactly how to use his/her cues and assistance. What a confidence builder, and has made a huge difference in success rates here at Hypnobabies!
Also unique to Hypnobabies is our very successful Hypnobabies Birth Visualization, in which you can mentally and emotionally practice entering labor, experience your comfortable birthing techniques and give birth easily and in a very detailed and personal way. This “mental birthing rehearsal” is very important to the process of easy and comfortable birthing and is done many times until your Hypno-baby is born, helping program the subconscious mind to produce exactly the kind of birthing you want. Athletes like Tiger Woods and public speakers of all kinds do this to prepare with great success, and so do our Hypno-moms!
Our students also never have to guess how to make a cohesive *plan for birthing* using their Hypnobabies techniques; our program is very clear and concise and includes a Quick Reference Guide for each birthing couple to use during their labor. We also include our wonderful Birth Guide tracks which keeps our Hypno-mom deeply in hypnosis with constant hypnotic relaxation and anesthesia suggestions for both the first stage of labor, and the pushing phase (NO “Ring of Fire”) as well as “positive birth team” hypnosis throughout. Birth Professionals are shocked at how completely relaxed and physically comfortable our Hypno-moms are, how easily they are able to move around and communicate and still be deeply hypnotized, and how “in control” they are of their bodies, minds and emotions. Our Hypnobabies students tell us that our Birth Guide CD is "Pure Gold!"
Unique to Hypnobabies: We require that our Certified Hypnobabies Instructors have a trained background in Childbirth and 50 hours of Hypnosis training before becoming trained as a Hypnobabies Instructor, so that *all* childbirth questions and concerns from each Hypno-couple can be addressed, hypnotic depth can be assessed, and problems such as resistance and abreaction can easily be dealt with.
Our Hypnobabies Instructors are always available for help before, during and after your Hypno-baby is born, and we also have a free Hypnobabies Yahoo e-mail group for our Hypno-moms to join for support and encouragement after your Hypnobabies class has ended, so that you can enjoy a community where others are using Hypnosis for Childbirth as well. We have daily tips and suggestions, childbirth hypnosis birth stories and a great deal of camaraderie.
Other programs have shorter and simpler childbirth hypnosis classes (8 - 10 hours of instruction as opposed to our 21) and may contain some excellent hypno-tools for birthing, but none contain the amount of information, in depth hypno-anesthesia, training, practice and support of Hypnobabies. All elements have been carefully designed to work together and the results are amazing even to ME. Not all of our Hypno-moms will have a completely pain-free birthing, yet for most it will be very close to it, and this makes all the difference in the world to so many women. Very gratifying!
Hypnobabies is an excellent choice for any woman wanting Hypnosis for Childbirth that works easily and beautifully!
