I offer a 5 week course. You and your partner will get a structured but informal class format that teaches about the physical and emotional aspects of birth. You’ll learn why your body does what it does, as well as how.

Here are just some of the things you’ll learn that a regular prenatal class would not teach you.

When you have your baby with the Leclaire HypnoBirthing method, you will not be in a trance or a sleep. What you will experience is similar to the daydreaming, or focusing, that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or a movie or staring into a fire.
You will be conversant and in good spirits--totally relaxed, but fully in control. Awake and eyes open throughout, you will be aware of your body's surges and your baby's progress; but because you will have trained yourself to reach complete relaxation, you will be able to determine the degree and the manner in which you will feel the surges. You will experience birthing in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear that prevents the muscles of your body from functioning as nature intended them to. In this calm state, your body's natural relaxant, endorphins, replaces the stress hormones that constrict and cause pain.
Breathing techniques that actually help the birth, rather than make it harder (And it’s not the panting that most people think they have to do. Think about it - why would anyone want to hyperventilate during labour??)
How to dramatically reduce your risk of tearing during birth with this stunningly simple massage technique
When it’s right to stand your ground with the medical staff...what questions to ask...and when it’s time to let them take charge
How to release any fears you might have about childbirth... regardless of where they come from
How to induce your own labour with these simple, natural techniques, if you go beyond your "estimated due date"
