We are excited to host Hypnobabies Childbirth Education at geneabirth.

There are many great options for childbirth education in the Twin Cities. Childbirth education with a hypnosis component is an increasingly popular choice.  We have seen hypnosis techniques help women decrease tension and fear during pregnancy and birth, leading to greater relaxation and confidence during birth.

Our colleague and friend, Aileen Larson, of Bywater Birth will  be teaching weekend Hypnobabies classes at our clinic in Saint Paul.  Each session is 6 weeks of comprehensive childbirth education with a hypnosis/relaxation component. Hypnobabies includes the hypnosis tracks and cds. The mamas we work with who take a hypno type childbirth education love these cds and audio files and use them to achieve restful sleep  when insomnia is a problem,to decrease worry and anxiety in late pregnancy and to continue to reinforce positive ideas about pregnancy and birth.
