Written by Brisbane GP Dr Sarah J Buckley on the science and spirit behind gentle birthing/parenting choices
Certified Lamaze instructor and activist Henci Goer brings women the carefully researched facts they'll want to have--the complete rundown on modern pregnancy and childbirth.
The original work by British Obstetrician Dr Grantly Dick Read - the principles upon which HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education Program is based.
This approach prepares a mother for what birth will be like from her perspective - to be in labour and give birth as a mother, not as a trained para-professional.
The original HypnoBirthing book by Marie Mongan. Also contains Relaxation CD
HypnoBirthing® Testimonials
"learning about and practicing HypnoBirthing with Helen gave me confidence and knowledge about both my pregnancy and birth. As a first time mother I felt confident and very positive before and during the birth and ...I always felt empowered and calm to make the decisions I needed to at the time. I would recommend HypnoBirthing to any pregnant woman as a great tool that can be used in other facets of your life." Abbie 2007
Our little girl was born on Sunday 13.1.08 at 2:30am after a 5 and a half hour labour. The labour went extremely well… and I managed to do it all naturally – not even any gas! Belinda and Roger 2008
