If you know you're built for a better birth, you're in the right place!
Blissborn is a childbirth education class emphasizing the power of your own mind to create a blissful birth. You already have everything you need to make it happen, and once you learn how to use it, you'll unlock that power for yourself.
Learn techniques that will shorten your labor and minimize your discomfort.
Class 1: Discovering Self-Hypnosis
Learn the secret to profound relaxation that offers no resistance to labor, and how to re-activate it with a simple word prompt. Experience the power of visualization.
Class 2: Practical Skills for Mom and Partner
Moms need lots of support in labor! Partners become hypnosis coaches and learn about what REALLY helps moms. Practice staying in hypnosis while walking and opening your eyes. Learn about birth anatomy, terminology and phases of labor.
Class 3: Birth Without Fear
Fear is a message from the deeper mind. Learn to identify the fears that could derail an otherwise perfect birth, and transform them into calm and confidence.
Class 4: Tame Labor Pain with your Brain
Learn the secrets of the mind that have allowed people for thousands of years to reduce sensations in their bodies and suffering in their minds. Practice different ways to control sensations in hypnosis.
Class 5: Putting it all Together
Put together all the skills and info from the first four classes so you’ll feel confident and excited about your birth. Learn all about birth plans, labor positions and the pushing phase. Partners practice their ‘duties’ and special hypnosis techniques. Look beyond birth to your plans for the baby. Learn how to use hypnosis to speed healing, jumpstart breastfeeding and get by on less sleep. In hypnosis, create the blueprint for the labor and birth you desire.
Session 6: Bonus
This is a bonus recording to use in labor.
