In short: Hypnobabies is a comprehensive childbirth class that also teaches very deep self-hypnosis techniques. The six-week live class or the five-week home study teach students everything they need to know about birth. And I mean EVERYTHING. Plus, in addition to being fully informed and empowered consumers, students learn a vast array of hypnosis techniques to have an easier and more comfortable birth. As a doula who has been supporting families for 6.5 years, some with Hypnobabies tools and some without, I can tell you the results are amazing. Hypnobabies families are more calm and more prepared and when an unmedicated birth is their goal they are much more likely to make that happen! I encourage you to poke around the Hypnobabies Twin Cities website and the main Hypnobabies.com website to learn all you can about this course.

Currently there is one way to become an official Hypno-Doula. That is to purchase and complete the online, self-study course available in the Hypnobabies online store (click here and look for Hypno-Doula Training on the left-hand menu). For $139.95 you get access to the online course, handouts, 6 CDs, and a completion certificate and hypno-doula listing on the Hypnobabies website when complete. Once you are official you can also ask to be added to our local hypno-doula listings on the Hypnobabies Twin Cities website. We also have a local Facebook group for doulas and providers that anyone is welcome to join to connect with our community.
Doulas in training who need to audit a childbirth education course for their doula certification can attend a full six-week Hypnobabies class for no cost but you also do not get materials like with the course above. Nonetheless it is an excellent way to learn what Hypnobabies is all about. Contact an instructor to see if she has room for you in an upcoming class.
Any doula who has a client enrolled in a Hypnobabies class is welcome to join any or all of the six weeks of the course to learn how best to support your clients. Contact an instructor to discuss further which weeks are best to attend.
All local Hypnobabies instructors, myself included, are very happy to answer any questions you might have about Hypnobabies! You can find all of our contact information here. Please reach out any time!
