Why Choose Hypnobabies


Yeah... but does it really work?

The following are statistics from our founder's class students over several years:

  • Comfortable labors – 70-75% Women who report that they felt mostly pressure or tightening sensations. Most of these women describe their labor as "pain-free"
  • Comfortable until transition – 10-15% Pressure only, until the 10-60 minute transitional period, with mild to intense degrees of sensation thereafter. "Very manageable."
  • Comfortable until active labor - 10% with mild to intense degrees of sensation thereafter. This group can have any number of things that affect their birth experiences: posterior or mal-presentations that do not resolve, other labor complications, emotional issues, lack of support, or they simply did not do their homework (30 - 35 minutes a day)! Hypnosis won't help someone that is not willing to do the work involved in preparing for her baby's birth.
