HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method

A Celebration of Life

"I had the most perfect labour and birthing thanks to a
combination of hypno and active birth techniques."

What is HypnoBirthing®

HypnoBirthing® was founded by Marie Mongan is taught worldwide and has been in existence for over 18 years. It teaches how a natural birth unfolds. At the heart of this teaching is the principle that a relaxed birth is a rewarding birth. Simple but specific self-hypnosis, relaxation and breathing exercises are taught.

"Thank you for the active birth/hypno-birth course. It helped me prepare brilliantly for the birth of my beautiful daughter, who was born in the water, 3 hours after arriving at the birthing centre, and with the help only of my partner. I spent 12 hours at home in early labour and the course was particularly helpful in getting me through this bit, conserving energy and getting through the contractions. I am convinced that the reason for my wonderful labour was that I approached it without fear and happy that my body and my baby knew exactly what to do - which they did. The whole experience was absolutely amazing and I am loving being a mum."


"I am super proud of myself for doing it without drugs. I'll never forget the moment when my husband leant into the water and picked up our baby and put her on my chest. I wouldn't have had the confidence without your wonderful teachings."


"Firstly, thank you so much for all your invaluable advice and wisdom over the last couple of weeks. It's transformed how I'm thinking about the birth, and I'm hoping it'll now be the life affirming experience for us all it should be."


"I managed to stay calm throughout using your techniques and found the hospital very in tune with my birthing requirements which was a nice surprise!"
