HypnoBirthing®

The Marie Mongan Method

HypnoBirthing® is more than a technique, it is a philosophy. It is a comprehensive, evidence-based natural birth class that provides mothers and their birth partners with a deep educational understanding of how natural childbirth unfolds to facilitate an instinctual, fear-free birth. Where there is no fear, there is no pain-causing tension and so the cycle we have been conditioned to believe in is broken. Imagine a joyous, even euphoric birth experience!

Testimonials

"Gal introduced me to HypnoBirthing when I first became pregnant…[She] was my mentor throughout my studies with encouraging words, helpful meditations and her deeply held belief that the body KNOWS exactly what to do to bring my baby to the world. Through Gal’s mentorship and guidance, I birthed a beautiful baby boy naturally and peacefully. I’m so grateful to the practice of HypnoBirthing and to my amazing friend Gal who guided me along my journey!"

“Gal has great experience and can coach you through the most trying times as a parent. She’s there for you and ready to offer guidance and positive reinforcement, just when you’re ready to throw in the towel and forget about your goals. One thing I found particularly helpful is that Gal keeps in mind your babies individual needs and tweaks her approach depending on what next steps are possible. She makes you feel like your hard work will eventually pay off and success is around the corner.”

Her beautiful and calming presence relaxed me and helped me find the confidence to believe that the natural birth I wanted was possible. I still turn to her coaching now that I am a mother and I love having her during every step of my journey."
