Okay, there is no comparison between birth with and without drugs. I had my first daughter Isabel in a large New York City hospital; a very medical environment,ie: IV's, constant monitoring, pitocin, and of course, the eventual epidural. My husband and I knew what we had planned (a natural birth the Bradley way) but had no support system or advocate. Eventually we wound up listening to medical staff over our own inner voices and I was left with a difficult and unhappy birth experience. This time with the birth of my second daughter Esme', it was so no big deal .at 34 weeks, I changed doctors and hospitals to ensure a supportive "medical" environment and began working on visualizations and hypbirth. It gave me the exact support that enabled me to focus on the birth I knew I could have. The hypbirth was the key to my success. I thought it wouldn't "work" for me, but did it ever!!. I was so well prepared that even my fantastic doctor and hospital staff thought I had hours to go when I arrived at the hospital (because I was so calm and focused). Esme" arrived 45 minutes after I was in my room with ease and no fear. My recovery was so quick, much quicker than from and epidural. I was walking out of the hospital 16 hours later, feeling fabulous, and with a miracle in my arms!

Working with the hypbirth program helped make my son's birth easier, it also helped me in my pregnancy. I was able to ease the back pain that showed up my last month. During labor, I was much more relaxed. I would definitely recommend it for any woman choosing a natural childbirth.

I'm a midwife and I've watched my patients use the HypBirth program. It's amazing how relaxed and effective the program really is. I've heard other midwives say that Hypnosis doesn't work; well they just haven't seen this program. Every women I have worked with who has trained with this program has successfully used it. In fact it works so well that I am now using the program for the birth of my own 3rd baby.

This was my first pregnancy & natural childbirth. Hypbirth gave me the control and focus to power through a "putsy - putsy" 48 hour labor. Without the hypnotherapy, it would have been difficult for me to achieve my goal (a drug-free labor and delivery). There is no question I will use hypbirth next time around.

I used the HypBirth CD"s. They were a great tool for my labor. I liked the fact that there were many different tools throughout the CD, s. At different parts of my labor I needed different tools. The visualization and relaxation techniques helped me to stay focused. The "facets" were a great help for relaxing between contractions, and the "good birth words" helped me think positively throughout my pregnancy .All of which I think helped me have the exact labor I had been visualizing.

I never knew how hypnosis worked. With in short weeks of training with the program, I was able to deliver my baby painless and fearless. I cannot think of any other way to deliver our baby easier than with your birth method.
I 100% recommend it. It is very worth it.

Best wishes to you all, Phuong. (first baby)

Giving birth was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. I could have never done it naturally without the hypbirth program. Thank you Lori.

Alex Olavarria (first baby)

Labor doesn't have to be a painful process. With HypBirth's help, it made it so relaxing and joyful, which I will appreciate for the rest of my life.

Connie Tai (first baby)

Giving birth to my Daughter was unequivocally the best experience of my life. Through HypBirths fearlessness, joyful visualizations and deep relaxation, I was able to let go completely and allow my body to do it's natural work with ease. I'm deeply grateful for having encountered this program and recommend it to any women who want to experience childbirth as joyful and even fun.

I used the HypBirth method for the birth of my third child. what a difference, it was absolutely wonderful. This method is fantastic and very effective. I did most of my laboring at home not believing I was as far along as I was !

HypBirth helped make our natural childbirth dream come true.HypBirth is the way childbirth was intended to be.
