The Birth of HypnoBirthing

The Natural Way To Birth...

The Natural Way To Birth...

HypnoBirthing is rooted in a deep trust in the body. It’s not about controlling birth—it’s about releasing fear, softening resistance, and allowing your body to do what it was designed to do. This approach reconnects you with your own inner wisdom—the kind that knows how to breathe, how to flow, and how to birth. Birth is not just a physical event—it’s an emotional and intuitive one too. HypnoBirthing® honours all of it, creating space for calm, connection, and confidence as you move through each moment.

What Is HypnoBirthing?

What Is HypnoBirthing?

HypnoBirthing is a complete childbirth education method that combines breathing, deep relaxation, visualisation, and informed decision-making to help you prepare for a calmer, more positive birth.

It was developed by Marie Mongan, an educator and mother, who originally created it to support her own daughter through childbirth. At the heart of HypnoBirthing is a simple but powerful idea: when a birthing person feels safe, supported, and free of fear, the body can birth more easily and instinctively.

Unlike many traditional birth courses that focus on stages, interventions, or pain management, HypnoBirthing takes a holistic approach. It prepares both the mind and body Because birth doesn’t have to be something to “get through.” It can be something powerful. Something peaceful. Something that belongs to you.

Shorter labor durations

Some studies indicate that HypnoBirthing can lead to shorter first and second stages of labor.

Birth with confidence

Mothers practicing HypnoBirthing often describe their birth experiences as more positive and empowering.

Improved neonatal outcomes

Babies born through HypnoBirthing methods may have higher APGAR scores and be more alert, facilitating immediate bonding and breastfeeding.

HypnoBirthing in the U.S. and Texas

In the United States, HypnoBirthing is gaining popularity as more expectant mothers seek natural and empowering birth experiences. 
In Texas, while the utilization of midwives and alternative birthing methods is increasing, only 5.3% of births were assisted by midwives in 2021, which is less than half the national average.

This growing interest reflects a broader desire among mothers to have more control over their birthing experiences and to explore methods that align with their personal values and comfort levels.
