HypnoBirthing
®
- The Mongan Method was created by Marie Mongan, a Hypnotherapist in
the USA.
It's philosophy is connected to the way that childbirth was
seen in ancient times - as a celebration of life! The program is
soundly based on science, in particular the findings of English Obstetrician
Dr. Grantly Dick Read. He was one of the pioneers of natural childbirth
and first described the Fear - Tension - Pain Syndrome after he
observed numerous women, who were free of any negative expectations or
fear of birthing, labour easily and painlessly - whilst countless fearful women laboured in tension and pain.
Marie Mongan came across Dr. Grantly Dick-Read's groundbreaking book "Childbirth without Fear" in the 1950's and birthed all her four children using the techniques he describes in his book. She subsequently qualified as a Hypnotherapist and developed HypnoBirthing
®, a modern progression of Dr Grantly Dick-Read's work, combining her knowledge of childbirth with self-hypnosis techniques.
Word got out quickly in her local community about the strength and success of the method, impressing mothers and birth professionals alike. Now in its 20th year, HypnoBirthing
® is helping women all around the world to rediscover the art and joy of birthing naturally with confidence, trust and ease!
