HypnoBirthing^® - The Mongan Method - is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education, enhanced by self-hypnosis techniques. HypnoBirthing^® provides the missing link that allows women to use their natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more comfortable birthing. Emphasis is placed on pregnancy and childbirth, as well as on pre-birth parenting and the consciousness of the pre-born baby. As a birthing method, HypnoBirthing^® is as new as tomorrow and as old as ancient times. It is presented in a series of five, 2 1/2-hour classes. www.HypnoBirthing.com
