HypnoBirthing COURSE OUTLINE

Evidence-Based Program

The HypnoBirthing – The Mongan Method is an evidence-based program recommended by birth professionals and institutions across the globe, including hospitals, obstetricians, midwives, and more! As an educator, you can be confident in the program curriculum and that is the only research-based birth hypnosis program in the world. As a result of the amazing outcomes among HypnoBirthing families, such as the decreased need for chemical inductions, analgesia, medical interventions, and surgical births, some hospitals in the United States have begun offering this course to their patients. Additionally, many doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals have chosen this program to prepare for the birth of their own children.
