Beautiful Birth Choices is an affiliate of the HypnoBirthing Institute.

HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method is the gold standard for birthing with hypnosis.  You and your birth companion will learn how to use self-hypnosis, breathing & visualization techniques to have a calm, joyful & gentle birthing experience.  With HypnoBirthing, you will not be in a trance or a sleep state. You will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.

This unique 12-hour childbirth education course is taught by a Certified HypnoBirthing Practitioner and is offered monthly.  Pre-registration is required and class size is limited.

There are significant benefits in taking a childbirth class outside of a hospital setting.  In teaching outside of a hospital, Dawn is not governed by any specific hospital policies.  This allows her to speak honestly of all birthing choices whether its hospital, birth center or home.  Dawn has also attended over 400 births so she speaks confidently of different birthing styles and shares examples of real birth experiences. 
As an added bonus, you are free to use the pool at the office before or after classes!
