Registration

Please contact me via email or phone (423-505-2657) to get signed up or to learn more about the class. I would love to chat with you on the phone before  completing your enrollment to make sure Hypnobabies is a good fit for you. See our Class Outline for the materials you will receive and what we will learn each week. 

* There is a minimum of two (2) couples required for a group class to take place with a maximum of six (6). If there is only one couple registered, the instructor may discuss Private Class fees with you or suggest a Home Study with a Home Study Advantage class at the end. Your deposit can be refunded to you via PayPal, check or Hypnobabies gift card (if you choose to take the Home Study) or it can go toward a HSA class. Deposits are only refundable when the class type changes, the class is cancelled due to not meeting the minimum, or an unforeseen circumstance arising with the instructor's schedule.

Location

All classes are held at Inspire Chiropractic off of East Main Street in downtown Chattanooga.

When should I start classes?

Hypnobabies can be taken anytime, but it is optimal to start between 25 - 30 weeks gestation. The class itself is six weeks long, meeting once per week. It is ideal to have ample time to practice after the class is completed (ideally by 36 weeks) - to listen to your scripts and practice techniques in the "maintenance" phase...until baby arrives! The classes cannot be condensed or rushed, so please allow yourself enough time. As soon as you know you want to sign up for a class, please contact me to register.

Space is limited; the class size is kept small for more personal attention.

Group Class Fees

The group course fee is $375 with a non-refundable deposit of $75 which reserves your space in the class. A balance of $300 is due at the beginning of Class One (non-refundable) which is when you will receive all of the materials listed in the Class Outline.

* For groups with two or more couples there is a $50 discount to a student who is willing/able to host the class series in their home. Please contact me for more information if interested.

Want reimbursement for attending your Hypnobabies class? Remember to check with your insurance carrier - some companies will cover the cost of childbirth classes! I can help with insurance codes if needed, a certificate of completion, or other documentation requested. Some Hypno-families have used their Flexible Spending Accounts for their Hypnobabies classes, too, so make sure and check out yours.

Why take a Group Class vs. Home Study?

The benefits of attending a group Hypnobabies Class include:

  • More detailed information on every subject. You'll get the added knowledge of an experienced doula with "local" information.
  • Your questions answered by our instructors who are knowledgeable about childbirth, and trained in hypnosis.
  • Additional handouts.
  • 5 Hypnobabies scripts in a booklet for use in daily Hypnobabies practice with your partner, along with recorded versions.
  • Demonstrations of all Hypnobabies hypnosis techniques.
  • Depth assessment of each student’s hypnosis levels by the Hypnobabies instructor.
  • Phone consultations with your Hypnobabies Instructor.
  • Prenatal exercise demonstration and practice.
  • Hands-on training for Birth Partners, who receive a “Birth Partner’s Guide” booklet for use during birthing, and the Birth Partner’s “Relax & Feel Confident” hypnosis script/MP3.
  • In-depth explanations, demonstrations and practice of the “Abdominal Lift & Tuck” to avoid back labor and to encourage a posterior baby to turn.
  • Optimal Fetal Positioning explanations and demonstrations to prevent posterior presentation.
  • A Birth Rehearsal in Class # 6, which is invaluable for helping each Hypno-Mom fully understand and experience their Hypnobabies techniques in a simulated birthing scenario. The Birth Rehearsal is also great practice for the Birth Partner to use his deepening cues and other techniques that help the mom so wonderfully during labor. This helps build the confidence level of Mom and the Birth Partner tremendously.
  • "Becoming Dad" handouts especially designed to help dads consider their own needs and changes as they transition into fatherhood,  and support their partner during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

And……from Hypnobabies VP Carole Thorpe:

“I would add FUN!!! A lot of kidding and just plain silliness happens in my Hypnobabies classes. Camaraderie is not to be underestimated. Generally, I have noticed that some of the birth partners show up to Class One and exhibit the body language/attitude of “OHMIGOSH! …what has my wife gotten me into now?!”

The classroom setting, and the community that develops with other couples, helps them to see that they are not alone in this “different” way to help their wife have their baby. It is helpful to hypno-dads/birth partners to see that Hypnobabies can be beautiful and effective, and also make childbirth enjoyable for everyone.”
