Now in its twentieth year, HypnoBirthing® is a complete childbirth education. These birthing classes are intended to help you have the most natural childbirth possible, using easily-learned self hypnosis and breathing techniques. Whatever kind of birth you’re planning – hospital or homebirth, with doctors or midwives and doulas – Hypnobirthing can help.

This five-class course serves any stage of pregnancy to use a woman’s natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier and more comfortable birthing. Couples, partnerships, single moms and their birth companions are all welcome. What our parents have in common is a desire to have as natural a birth as possible. During the course the birthing partner learns to become an advocate for the mother so that she can focus on her relaxation while the partner interfaces with other supports such as a doctor or midwife.

This course will be taught at The Union by Sarah Kapoor starting at the end of August:

• August 29 to September 26th. Saturday afternoons: 1:30pm – 4:00pm
• Oct. 3 to Oct. 31st. Saturday afternoons: 1:30pm – 4:00pm
• Nov. 7 to Dec. 5th. Saturday afternoons: 1:30pm – 4:00pm
