About HypnoBirthing

sitting baby1HypnoBirthing® classes are taught over a five week period at Birthcare. They are kept small (between 5-8 couples) so that you can have more of an opportunity to ask questions and get a really good grasp of HypnoBirthing®.

It is ideal for your birthing companion to attend all of the classes.
The best time to begin your HypnoBirthing® classes is between 16 – 35 weeks.

As part of every course, couples receive:

  • Your own copy of the book “HypnoBirthing® – The Mongan Method”
  • Four audio tracks for relaxation, stress reduction and bonding
  • Professionally written relaxation scripts for your home practice
  • Lots of other helpful handouts along with a folder to keep them in
  • Live tuition and ongoing support from Claire via phone and email if required.
  • Access to a private online community for Auckland HypnoBirthing Alumni

What is your investment?

$395 per couple

Upon registration and payment of your deposit you will be sent your copy of the book, HypnoBirthing® – The Mongan Method and CD so that you can get started learning about HypnoBirthing®.

Refresher classes are available for those who have previously attended a HypnoBirthing® class and want to refresh themselves with the content and techniques before their next baby comes along.  Click here for more information.



What parents are saying..

“I can’t thank-you enough for your incredible course. It has put both Mick and I completely at ease and comfortable (actually quite excited) about our new arrival, arriving!” Abby, First time Mum.

“Before I came to your classes I was adamant that I would birth at the hospital and take every precaution possible to have a ‘safe birth’.  I was also convinced I would accept all intervention, so as not to make things harder.

Now I am feeling completely faithful that it is something my body and my baby can do perfectly on their own.

I’ve chosen to birth somewhere more comfortable, am completely without fear and completely filled with confidence..

Thank you for giving me exactly what I needed to start my parenting journey so beautifully.”

Sara, First time Mum

On Feb 12 2011, I gave birth to a beautiful daughter, Sadie.

As a first time mother hypnobirthing helped me relax about the birth and embrace it as the positive experience that it was.

I found the breathing techniques really helped me, my support people couldn’t believe how calm I was and able to manage the surges.

Claire was a fantastic teacher, very encouraging and supportive, which really helped with my confidence.

I feel that every expectant mother can gain something positive from learning these techniques.

Thank you so much Claire for all your help!”

Vicky Mason, First time Mum

I found the classes really helped relax me. Now it’s easier to have positive thoughts about my birth experience and ability to birth naturally.

I recommend it to all parents.Kate Banks, First time Mum

“I just wanted to send you a wee message to say a big thank you for the HypnoBirthing classes which Shaun and I attended with you.

I felt at ease and confident about my babies birth before I begun the classes but working with you and practising many of the things we have learnt about has taken that ease and confidence to a whole new level!

I just feel so relaxed about the birth and most importantly, confident in my bodies ability to birth our baby naturally. We are both so very excited and I really can’t wait for the day to come!!”

Olivia, First time Mum.

“Since your course I feel more excited about giving birth and meeting my son. It’s a complete change in outlook and it put a positive spin on everything birth related.

The classes were very informative with regards to what is actually happening to the body during birth. I enjoyed the strategies to support your baby and your body to work together through the process of pregnancy and birthing. Also seeing everything in a positive light.

You reaffirmed my beliefs about the birthing process being natural and as a result I feel empowered and more confident and trust my baby and my body.”

Tari Stowers, First time Mum.

HypnoBirthing is a way to learn to relax and trust your body during birth. The book is brilliant. I feel calm, ready and I trust my body now. I understand the natural process of birthing and have faith in my body. Vanessa, First time Mum.
