Since 2005, The Tao of Birthing® has prepared hundreds of prenatal parents for birthing in Hospitals, Homes and Birth-Centers. Like them, you and your partner will gain extensive understanding of the birth experience from a holistic and medical perspective. In fact, your partner will gain the skills of a Doula!
Add to that, the art and science ofHypnosis …how and why it produces the healthiest outcomes and presents the greatest opportunity for immediate, uninterrupted MamaBaby bonding.
A Tranquil Labor and Triumphant Birth
A Thorough, Enlightening Education
Unbiased • Realistic • Authentic
Through 12+ class hours, and phone calls in between, you’ll be fully supported as you prepare to start, or expand, your family. Class format is structured, yet flexible, as we “go with the flow” of each distinct meeting. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, providing open discussion and ample room for questions and answers.
Discover your intrinsic power and realize that birth is “normal” while at the same time, miraculous!
We’ll combine evidence with intuition, Hypnosis with conscious choice, and setting intentions with letting go. A fun and fully-informational HypnoBirth program, The Tao of Birthing® lights the way on your wondrous journey!
