Hypnobirthing for a Peaceful Birth Course

When carrying a new life and getting ready for birthing, being prepared is imperative.

Sadly due to the medicalization of birth, many families have been left disappointed and sometimes traumatized by the level of care that they received during their pregnancy and/or birth.

Having worked in this field and having experienced three different types of birth, I myself, have felt the very real benefit of having attended Childbirth Preparation Classes based on Hypnobirthing philosophy.

Fear and anxiety are common in both first time Moms and Moms who have previously birthed.

In such a special and vulnerable time, families should be able to embrace and enjoy the journey, relaxing and surrendering to the miracle that is pregnancy and birth. Yet Moms find themselves, suddenly, in a new world entirely!

​

Well-meaning advice from family can add to the already long lists of questions and moms find themselves overwhelmed.

This is where the My Birthing Kit Syllabus comes in. Along with an in-depth ebook written by Creator and Founder of MBK- Kim Young, printable affirmations and pre-recorded relaxations; the syllabus covers everything (and more) that an expecting family needs to know. Geared toward both the birthing mother and her partner, these classes leave families feeling confident and excited for their birthing.
