Heartfelt Hypnosis - Pauline Rzepecki, RN, CHt, HBCE
HypnoBirthing is the Gold Standard for Birthing with Hypnosis. HypnoBirthing classes teach deep levels of relaxation to eliminate the fear that causes tension and pain.  HypnoBirthing empowers parents with techniques to achieve a gentle birth for themselves and their baby. It leaves mothers alert, awake and with energy. The birthing companion has an integral role in the birth, learning techniques to guide the birthing mother into a relaxed hypnotic state. While in this state, the mother can let go of her cares and concerns, relax and enjoy giving birth to her beautiful baby. These techniques also reduce or eliminate the need for pain medications.
