Easier, More Comfortable Childbirth with Hypnobabies

Hypnobabies is a fully comprehensive six week childbirth preparation course, based with permission on Master Hypnotherapist Gerald Kein’s “Painless Childbirth Program”.   Rather than just relying on relaxation or guided imagery, our students are taught to use “eyes open hypnosis”, so they’re able to walk, talk, and move about, while remaining deeply in hypnosis and remaining very comfortable.

Students retrain their minds to perceive normal childbirth sensations as pressure, squeezing, or tugging or pulling sensations through reading a weekly lesson from the student workbook, listening to Joyful Pregnancy Affirmations daily, and daily practice using hypnosis scripts.  The hypnosis taught in Hypnobabies is the same medical grade hypnosis used by those unable to use anesthesia for dental or surgical procedures, allowing students to develop and direct their own hypnoanesthesia to increase comfort during birthing time.

What to Expect

Because Hypnobabies is a fully comprehensive childbirth preparation course, there’s no need to take any other childbirth preparation course.  We have it covered! Because Hypnobabies is all about retraining the mind to perceive birth as a safe, easy, and comfortable experience, we ask our students to not take any other classes while taking the Hypnobabies course.  Other courses teach “pain coping” and “pain management” techniques, and the language used in these other courses is counter to the Hypnobabies message.  Taking another course simultaneously can hinder a Hypnobabies student’s ability to retrain the mind to perceive birth in a positive way. This is a six week course, with each class lasting 3 to 3.5 hours.  Prior to the first class, students are given two pre-class hypnosis tracks that they’re asked to alternate listening to daily, the week prior to beginning class.  These tracks help the students to begin deprogramming negative associations about childbirth, being learning deep hypnosis, give confidence in the ability to have an easier and more comfortable birth, and create a Special Safe Place where the Hypno-mom can go to feel safe, and to meet and spend time with her baby.  Students will be asked to bring pillows, blankets, a birth ball, or whatever they feel they need to make themselves comfortable for in class hypnosis practice each week. Birth partners, are, of course, welcome, and encouraged.  Some women do not have a birth partner, or the birth partner may not be able to attend for various reasons.  This is ok!  Many women have successfully used the Hypnobabies program without having a birth partner present for class. Students will be given:
  • A student workbook, containing the reading material for the course
  • A hypnosis script booklet
  • A Birth Partner/Quick Reference Guide
  • Weekly Handouts
  • Audio hypnosis tracks

Summer Watt

Hi!  My name is Summer Watt, and I’m a mom to five awesome kids.  I work part time as an ICU nurse, and I look forward to bringing Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis to Spring Hill.

I’ve always been drawn to natural childbirth.  Completing my OB rotation in nursing school confirmed this for me, even though I was still a few years away from having kids at that point.  When I found out I was pregnant with my oldest child, I began exploring natural childbirth methods.  I had seen an episode of “Dateline” on women using hypnosis for childbirth several years before, so I began searching the internet for hypnosis for childbirth.  A mom in a parenting group had used the Hypnobabies Home Study program and encouraged me to give it a try, so I did.  I used the Home Study program for my first three pregnancies, and took a class with an instructor for my fourth (I will even be taking the class again with another instructor to prepare for baby #5’s birth).  The nurses at my fourth birth told me I should become an instructor, because the program was working so well for me!

Hypnobabies has been a huge blessing to me in all five of my pregnancies.  The program has given me confidence in my ability to give birth to my babies in an easier, more comfortable way.  I look forward to helping other women to have easier, more comfortable births with Hypnobabies!
