Home Study Course

The Hypnobabies Self-Study Course was designed for those who want to start their Hypnobabies course immediately, have less time available to them to practice, or are looking for some more flexibility to study at their own pace without attending weekly classes.

• Select from the Classic (hard copy), Online (digital), or Online Bundle.

• Choose your own pace — the standard timeline is six weeks plus two weeks of additional maintenance practice. Alternatively, it can be completed in as few as four weeks or as many as 12 weeks.

• It is recommended that you begin the home-study 8 weeks before your due date. This allows for adequate time for maintenance practice with your hypnosis before your birthing time.

Pricing

$189.95 (digital) / $239.97 (hard copy)

Home Study materials are sold by Hypnobabies headquarters which can be purchased through the Hypnobabies Online Store.

Home Study Advantage

The Home Study Advantage (HSA) Session is an add-on of instructor support to maximize the benefits of the Hypnobabies Home Study Course.

 An HSA with me includes:

  • review the course materials, Hypnobabies hypno-tools, and comfort measures for each stage of birth

  • practice your hypnosis cues and techniques in a real Hypnobabies Birth Rehearsal

  • watch Hypnobabies birth videos with discussion

  • insider tips and tricks

• Help, support and encouragement by phone/email anytime

The HSA can be scheduled with me anytime after you have completed Week 6 of the Home Study program.

Private Class Series

For those who want

an Individualized and Instructor-led experience

• Complete childbirth education for you and your partner

  • Learn about the 3 stages of birth

  • Learn how to stay healthy and low risk through nutrition and  prenatal exercise

  • Learn about your options for birthing

  • Create a birth ‘preferences’ plan

• 16 powerful, deep hypnosis tracks

• 5 somnambulistic hypnosis scripts

• Demonstrations of all Hypnobabies hypnosis techniques.

  1. Learn how fear and negative expectations can impact childbirth

  2. Learn and experience how hypnosis works

  3. Learn how to create powerful ‘natural’ anesthesia using your mind

  4. Experience the joy of bonding with your baby and birth partner as you enjoy practicing your hypnosis scripts together

• Hands-on training for Birth Partners, who receive a Birth Partner’s Guide and their own hypnosis audio track called “Relax & Feel Confident”.

• An in-depth Birth Rehearsal practice session which is invaluable for helping each Hypno-Mom fully understand and experience their Hypnobabies techniques in a simulated birthing scenario.

• Your questions answered by me, a Certified Hypnobabies Instructor, who is knowledgeable about childbirth and trained in hypnosis.

Each series consists of 6 classes meeting for 3-3.5 hours each week for 6 consecutive weeks. Since it takes six full weeks to learn and instill the deep hypnosis techniques and cues that will enable you to have an easier, more comfortable birth, it is recommended that expectant parents start the program between 28-32 weeks of pregnancy. This allows for adequate time to practice the techniques, since repetition of any hypnosis technique compounds the effects.
