HypnoBirthing®

HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method

The "Gold Standard" of Birthing With Hypnosis

HypnoBirthing® is a unique method of natural childbirth education, enhanced by self-hypnosis techniques. It is a method that empowers women to achieve easier, calmer and more comfortable births.

HypnoBirthing® teaches remarkable techniques and tools that have been tried and proven to help prepare and guide women for the peaceful birth they have always wanted.

The HypnoBirthing® program is designed around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition and positive body toning.

Most importantly, HypnoBirthing® favors the mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the health-care provider in a traditional health-care system or an alternative setting.

We understand you have many choices and decisions to make for your birthing day. You have the decision in selecting your care provider and the choice of the environment in which you will bring your baby into this world. Another important decision you will have is that of the childbirth education class to prepare for the birth of your baby.

We know that you will be thrilled with your choice of HypnoBirthing®.

What is HypnoBirthing®?

For centuries our culture has conditioned women to believe that birth is abnormal, dangerous, tremendously painful, and something to be feared. At Sweet Serenity Birthing, we believe that women have the ability to birth normal and with ease, calmness and without fear. In our childbirth education classes, we teach our moms and their birth companions about the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome and how being tense actually hinders the birthing body to birth your baby the way it was designed.

Whether you decide to birth in a hospital, birthing center or in the comfort of your own home, HypnoBirthing® will give you the tools to feel confident and empowered to birth the way you truly desire.

What You Will Learn in HypnoBirthing® Classes

You will learn that your body and your baby naturally know how to birth. You will become skilled in drifting into an ultimate state of relaxation that allows your birth to happen normally without interference.

About Sweet Serenity Birthing

As a certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator and Certified Infant Massage Instructor in the Central Florida area, Angela Bailey is thrilled to share her knowledge and educate parents on how to have a calm, gentle, natural birth and then strengthen the bond between mom and dad through Infant Massage.

**My start with HypnoBirthing® began when I met the founder and owner of HypnoBirthing®, Marie(Mickey) Mongan. Mickey asked me to work side by side with her in her Florida office. I started out simple, just answering calls and helping with the 4th edition of the HypnoBirthing® textbook.

As time went on, Mickey and I would watch video after video of births that HypnoBirthing® moms would send to the office. These videos showed calm gentle and magical births and I was amazed at what HypnoBirthing® was doing for so many women around the world. Mickey expressed to me that she thought I should become a practitioner and teach moms how to have those calm gentle births that I was viewing. I finally decided that this was something I had to do! I knew that I not only wanted to help educate expecting moms but I needed to educate expecting moms, so that they could have the calm, gentle, magical births that the other moms were experiencing.

My journey as founder of Sweet Serenity Birthing began as I was blessed and honored to be trained by Mickey Mongan herself. Honestly, receiving my certification as a HypnoBirthing® Practitioner was a dream come true. I feel so lucky to have spent so much time learning from the best.

I have worked with many couples over the years, teaching them the wonderful techniques of HypnoBirthing® and I'm thrilled that among some of those amazing couples have been my own children. Being a Nana to HypnoBabies is the best! I'm proud to say HypnoBirthing® has definitely changed the lives of many women around the world and it has forever changed my life.
