Hypnosis, Pregnancy & Childbirth 

HYPNOBIRTHING THE ORIGINAL METHOD: The highly successful Leclaire childbirth method - the birthing program for the 21th century that incorporates hypnosis - helps you experience pregnancy, labor, and childbirth, calmly, joyously, and painlessly. Whether you choose a natural birth, an epidural, or a c-section, this is the guide every expectant woman and her partner needs. Developed by Michelle Leclaire O'Neill, PhD, R.N., the only woman and medical professional who has created a complete childbirth education program. This holistic method draws on both modern science and ancient wisdom to present pregnancy as the glorious, instinctive event it should be. The author's systematic approach gives you back control over your mind and body during pregnancy and birth when you may feel it slipping away. Through techniques including: self-hypnosis, meditation, visualization, and a complete mind/body program - you learn to let go of your fears, ease childbirth jitters, improve bonding between you and your baby, and facilitate your babies' peaceful, painless entry into this world. In addition, the Leclaire hypnobirthing method can prevent unhealthy birth weight, ease the transition to breastfeeding, and create the healthiest possible environment for a new life, a new mother, and a new family.
