HypnoBirthing
Welcome to HypnoBirthing!
My name is Launi . I have been teaching HypnoBirthing–Childbirth Education classes in Utah for nearly 8 years. I am certified with the HypnoBirthing Institute of New Hampshire. HypnoBirthing is a wonderful way to learn the skills and techniques that can help you to have a calm, gentle birthing experience.In the HypnoBirthing program there are 5 2-1/2 hour classes, one each week. I teach a Saturday morning class and a Wednesday night class as well—so that there are more options for busy couples.
Many people ask, “When is the best time in my pregnancy, to take the HypnoBirthing classes?”
We have found that what works best is to take the class when you are interested in it. I encourage people to enroll in the class as early as they’d like to in their pregnancy because that way they have plenty of time to read the materials and practice the techniques. Also, once you are part of the class, you can come back to any other HypnoBirthing classes that I teach, for a refresher, anytime that you’d like to—free of charge. The 5 week course cost is $150 which includes the book “HypnoBirthing- the Mongan Method,” 3 practice cds and a handout booklet.

The topics covered in the HypnoBirthing course are:
Class 1- Physiology of birth, Fear/Tension/Pain Syndrome, What Hypnosis is and is not, birth videos
Class 2- Prenatal bonding, Working as partners, Slow Breathing, Deep Relaxation, Fear Release, birth videos
Class 3- Nutrition, Writing your Birth Plan, HypnoBirthing vs. Active Management of Labor, birth videos
Class 4- Labor walk-through, Birth Breathing, Relaxation Techniques, birth videos
Class 5- Skin to skin bonding, Newborn procedures, New parent interviews, Breastfeeding, birth videos

Hi Launi-
I was wondering where you teach your classes so I can discuss with my husband if it would be feasible to attend them. From what I have read about your classes and techniques I am very interested in attending and learning the techniques that you teach. I was looking into I think the Sept Oct classes and I am due at the end of Jan, I thought it would be good; like you said to take the classes sooner on and have a few months of practice to get it right for the big day!
Any information you could provide about the location of the classes would be greatly appreciated! You can contact me either by phone or email.
Thanks
Kayla Rosenlof

Hi-
I was wondering when you might have additional schedules for later months in the year. I am due in August and would love to participate in your class but would like to do it closer to my due date if possible.
Thanks!

Well I will just get on that. I’ve been working on my calendar for a while now, but I keep having to revamp. I’ll get what I have on here ASAP. We’d love to have you.
