HypnoBirthing® is a philosophy as much as it is an education in childbirth. You will learn self-hypnosis techniques that will make your birth faster, safer, and more comfortable. While most births last between 12-14 hours, the average HypnoBirthing® birth lasts 3 to 5 hours and reduces the need for drugs and medical intervention by 75%. HypnoBirthing also reduces breech presentation by 67% and results in substantially fewer Cesarean sections.

How can this be? When a person reacts to fearful thoughts, the birthing body literally slows down in order to redirect blood away from the uterus and outward to the extremities. This causes “failure to progress”, which not only slows labor, but causes the birthing body to counter-react by bringing on more intense surges. With HypnoBirthing®, you will learn the practical and mental techniques to remain calm, thoroughly relaxed and fully empowered. Statistics based on 496 births last year show that about 100% of HypnoBirthing® moms report to being “very satisfied” with their HypnoBirthing® birth experience.

Discover HypnoBirthing®, and discover a safer, easier, more joyful and empowering method of childbirth.


Cynthia Overgard discovered HypnoBirthing® when she was 7 months pregnant. Despite her baby’s large size of 8 lbs. 14 oz., Cynthia birthed her son gently and easily in just 3 ½ hours. Her son was born without drugs or medical intervention of any kind in a free-standing birth center in Connecticut. Cynthia is certified by the HypnoBirthing® Institute.
