Actresses such as Jessica Alba and Tiffani Thiessen, and model Miranda Kerr have talked about HypnoBirthing®. "It's different for everyone, although I do recommend the hypnobirthing classes. I highly recommend it." says Jessica.

"The language of successful Hypnobirthing® is not in doing things with the right technique or saying the right thing. The magic lies in the attitudes and concepts of the Mother. When the question is asked how do I properly accomplish such and such it is not so much the how that is important but the why.

 I have never birthed a child or performed a HypnoBirth or a successful Breech turn and I proud of this.

I have witnessed a Thousand Births, hundreds of HypnoBirths, and multiple breech turns.

The Birth, the turn and the beauty are created by the Mother. We create the atmosphere, the attitude and witness success. Nothing more."

                   --Lorne Campbell Sr. MD, Chief of AM at State University Department of Family Medicine, Buffalo, NY

"You will never know how special you are Debi to Paul and I or how great a blessing you have been three times over."

                ---Gina of Port Washington, July 2011

"Thank you for all of your helpful insight and wisdom.  I have been feeling much better about EVERYTHING since I saw you last week, I am much calmer and feel much more at ease...thank you."

"Thank you for helping to make our birth experience such an incredible life altering event.You and your class touched us in so many ways and it allowed our little Brennan to be born in the most peaceful way possible.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect birth! We thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for all you've done!"

One Birth At A Time

 

Childbirth education for safer, easier and gentler birth...
Pregnant women on Long Island and in New York now have a natural choice for comfort during their labor and birthing. The premier choice in natural childbirth education in the Metropolitan area is HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method. HypnoBirthing is more than traditional prepared childbirth classes. Whether having a hospital or home birth, planning a natural birth or wanting an epidural, HypnoBirthing offers women safer and gentler births by blending trust in the female body with the documented effectiveness of self-hypnosis (deep relaxation), guided imagery, visualization, special breathing and tension-releasing techniques.

Combined with sound information on the physical process of pregnancy, birth, and labor, it is no wonder that new parents everywhere are thanking their HypnoBirthing educator for a calmer, more relaxed labor and birthing experience. HypnoBirthing returns birth to the simplistic and pure event that nature intended.

Over 75% of pregnant mothers taught through One Birth At A Time birth their babies naturally. Many families attribute their calm and confident birthing style to the thoughtful, compassionate and inspiring instruction I offer. Plus, I can share from personal experience.

HypnoBirthing is a "full-service" childbirth education course, teaching everything NEEDED to prepare mind and body to have a healthy birth.

While HypnoBirthing is effective and easy to learn at any time during pregnancy, even late third trimester, much can be gained by taking the class early so that proper nutrition, daily relaxation practice, and preparation of your mind and body for birthing can be developed over a period of time. The HypnoBirthing Institute is now recommending that expectant parents begin classes early in the second trimester, so that the relaxation becomes a way of life.

The HypnoBirthing childbirth method is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing.

All sessions are offered in New York and Long Island. Private and Group sessions are available for HypnoBirthing; all Fertility and Pediatric sessions are private at my office

or in the comfort of your home.
