Welcome to...
Imagine ...
... a world in which pregnancy and birth are respected as a natural process, a wonderful time in a
woman's life when she begins to transform from individual to mother, nurturing a brand new life
inside of her. Imagine a world in which women enjoy this journey feeling confident in their ability
to grow, birth, and protect this new life, empowered throughout this process and surrounded by
only joy, love, and encouragement as she becomes a mother, whether for the first time or the tenth
time. This is my wish for every mother and the gift Hypnobabies offers.

Hypnobabies® Course Specifics
Hypnobabies® is a 6-week complete childbirth education course and a course in self-hypnosis forchildbirth, based on Gerald Kein's Painless Childbirth techniques. Classes are divided into one 3.5-
hour class per week, totaling 21 in-class hours of childbirth and self-hypnosis preparation for your
beautiful birth!
Hypnobabies® focuses on educating mothers on how to stay healthy and low risk during pregnancy,
the physiology and process of birth, and teaches self-hypnosis techniques that will retrain the inner
mind to experience the sensations of labor and birth as only pressure and tightening.
One of the key components of Hypnobabies® is our use of hypno-anesthesia, the same hypnosis
techniques used by people who are allergic to or otherwise unable to use medical anesthesia.
Hypnobabies® has the most rigorous standards for instructors and takes pride in our ability to offer
you a successful and caring experience. All Certified Hypnobabies® Instructors have been training
in both Hypnosis and Childbirth Education and have a passion for working with expectant mothers
and couples who want to give their precious babies the best start in life with a gentle and easy birth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q) Should I take a Hypnobabies® class or do the home study course?
A) Our Hypnobabies® Home Study Course for Expectant Mothers is being used with great success by
mothers all over the world right now, and it contains the same basic curriculum, hypnosis scripts
and cues, but we suggest that anyone who is near a Hypnobabies® Instructor take our
Hypnobabies® Class with a Certified Hypnobabies® Instructor (HCHI certified). The benefits of
attending a Hypnobabies® Class include:
Our Birthing Rehearsal in Class #6, which is invaluable for helping each Hypno-Mom fully
understand and experience their Hypnobabies® techniques in a birthing scenario, complete with
Birth Balls, changing positions, walking etc. It is also great practice for the Birth Partner to use his
deepening cues and techniques that help the mom so wonderfully during labor. This helps build the
confidence level of Mom and the Birth Partner tremendously.
And……from our VP Carole Thorpe:
“I would add FUN!!! A lot of kidding and just plain silliness happens in my Hypnobabies® classes.
Camaraderie is not to be underestimated. Generally, I have noticed that some of the birth partners
show up to Class One and exhibit the body language/attitude of "OHMIGOSH!...what has my wife
gotten me into now?!" The classroom setting with other couples helps them to see that they are not
alone in this "different" way to help their wife have their baby. It is helpful to hypno-dads/birth
partners to see that Hypnobabies® can be beautiful and effective, and also enjoyable.”
Q) What is the difference between Hypnobabies® and a regular hypno-birthing class?
A) Please see our Hypnobabies® Difference (on this page) for information on this very important
question. You can also click here for a first hand perspective on Hypnobabies vs. another hypnosis
for childbirth program.
Q) When should I start Hypnobabies® Classes?
A) Anytime! Some women take classes early in their pregnancy, and practicing Hypnobabies®
helps them to be relaxed, comfortable and confident for the rest of their pregnancies. Others start
later, at 6 or 7 months, when they know they can devote 30-40 minutes daily to practicing.
Q) Can my Birth Partner come to Hypnobabies® Class with me?
A) Yes! We teach the Birth Partner right along with our Hypno-Moms - what hypnosis is, (they
experience it in class and get their own Birth Partner’s hypnosis CD, to keep them calm and relaxed
about pregnancy and childbirth!) and how to support and help our Hypno-moms during pregnancy
the birthing itself and after the baby comes. They participate fully in each class, and with each
hypnosis script.
Q) Will I be able to move around and be awake, and aware of my body and my baby during
my labor, using hypnosis?
A) Absolutely! Being in Hypnobabies’ “Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis" is not like being asleep or
detached from the sensations of your baby’s birth. You are awake and aware of everything going on
around you, and you experience baby’s every movement. You remain deeply in hypnosis, confident
and calm, even while moving and changing positions. Your Hypnobabies® hypno-anesthesia allows
you to experience all the power of childbirth without the discomfort.
Q) How does hypnosis for childbirth work?
A) Short version: Like computer data entry. If you want to create a document to use later, you open
one, enter the text and save the contents in a “file”, then give the file a name. Later, when you want
to edit that document, you find the file name and open it, add to the document text and save it
again. When you are completely finished with your document, you find the file by its name,
complete and ready, and print it out for your use.
In Hypnobabies® , our “files” are our medical hypno-anesthesia “scripts” in the form of CD tracks
and paper scripts, and all you have to do is *listen* to them. In doing so, you train your inner mind,
just like entering text, what to accept. Each week, you add a little bit of training, just like the text in
your document, and your inner mind creates a new belief system about childbirth. It accepts that
the normal birthing sensations that you will have when you give birth; pushing, pulling,
stretching, pressure sensations, will indeed be there, but without discomfort attached to them. You
train it to accept cues and techniques to bring you deeper into relaxation and hypnosis, and when
you use them on your birthing day, just like printing out your document, they are there for you
automatically! Your mind is very powerful and is capable of creating the deepest physical
relaxation possible as well as a very comfortable birthing experience. Use it!
A) Long version: You can listen to the Introduction to Hypnobabies® track (link above), with a 20
minute explanation of what hypnosis and Hypnobabies® are, and a the wonderful “Relax Me”
hypnosis session (link above), which allows you to actually experience deep relaxation and a
hypnotic state, as well as learn a special cue that trains you to become calm and relaxed in any
situation, which you can use for the rest of your life! You may also contact me for a free copy of
these two tracks on CD.

Mother Using Hypnobabies
Quote from the Family - "Our first child was born at home, posterior and acynclitic (she came

Thanks to Hypnobabies (and lots of practice before hand) the birth was easy and fast.
Alicia is getting close to transition in this video but you can see how calm she feels and how focused
she is...she's just riding the birthing wave (contraction) out. The whole birth was like this."
