Blissborn - birth hypnosis classes

"I had the labor and birth of my dreams. I labored for 3 hours before giving birth to our daughter, gently and peacefully in the bath tub . . . When K. was born, she was alert right away and began nursing within 10 minutes. She has been a very easy-going baby who seems quite happy to be here in this world.

"I found that this was a process that has little to do with the 'thinking' mind, as you explained in the class. It had everything to do with respecting and trusting my body's ancient intelligence, simply opening up and letting my body do its work.

"K.'s birth was the most beautiful, perfect, incredible experience of my life. So far, the only thing that compares to it is the experience of being K.'s mother."

You're built for a better birth.

Welcome to the official home of Blissborn, the birth hypnosis classes that offer a natural alternative to painful, scary birth and drugs. Blissborn educators are forming classes all over the country. To find one, click here.

Parent Materials Despite the nightclub comedy reputation, hypnosis is a legitimate, natural and highly effective way to control pain, stay calm and enjoy an easier birth. The American Medical Association has accepted hypnosis for medical uses since the 1950s. Studies have shown that it shortens labor, reduces pain, decreases interventions, decreases post-partum depression and makes for calmer babies, too.

Anyone can do it. Read more about the birth classes here. Blissborn is formerly known as Practical Hypnosis for Birth, but it's the same great class!
