Childbirth Hypnosis   
Childbirth Hypnosis has been used for childbirth since the 1920s. It is becoming more available in the United States. Every woman’s experience is different. Many women do indeed describe their labor as serene and pain-free. In most cases, hypnosis greatly reduces the level of pain experienced because hypnosis simply uses relaxation and guided imagery techniques to help you focus on positive thoughts and create a calm state of mind. By reducing fears and tensions, you avoid creating physical resistance that can cause added complications or pain to the childbirth experience. BACK TO TOP
Doula

Midwifery   
Midwives attend women during the childbirth process in a variety of settings and are trained to care for women before, during, after and between pregnancies. Well trained in all aspects of the birthing process, they always provide back up scenarios in case of unforseen complications. Worldwide, eighty percent of all babies are received into the skilled, caring hands of midwives, and according to the Center of Disease Control, home births with midwives are the safest birthing practices in the United States.
