If you'd like to have a gentle, calm birth, HypnoBirthing™: The Mongan Method classes can show you how. By learning to use self-hypnosis, visualisations, massage and breathing techniques you'll remain deeply relaxed and so tire less easily during labour. This can help you to give birth in an easier, much more comfortable way and reduces the need for artificial pain relief and unnecessary medical intervention.
