C.H.T. is unique in that a Clinical Certified Hypnotherapist teaches it individually, so it is personalized to each mother’s unique needs and concerns. C.H.T. is an holistic approach to natural childbirth; a very successful hypnobirthing training utilizing relaxation, NLP, guided imagery, child birth education, healing touch (Reiki in doula work), that promotes a shorter labor, reduces fear, or need for painkillers. Our expectant mothers birth their babies by trusting in their body's own natural process and the power of their mind.

Marie-Paul Baxiu, C.C.H., R.P, Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor; the founder and owner of Childbirth Hypnosis Training, has been a Clinical Certified Hypnotherapist for the last 15 years, and practicing hypnosis for Childbirth since 1991.

She is also one of the Board of Directors with Birthing the Future. She has trained mothers who have given birth in various hospitals and birth centers throughout Southern California, since 1991. She is also an educator, a Hypnobirth-doula, a Pregnancy Nutrition Counselor, and has appeared on NBC last September 2003.

Hypnosis training often eliminates or greatly reduces the need for chemical painkillers, a distinct plus for your baby. In addition, a shorter labor and less fatigue leave you fresh and alert for enhanced bonding with your baby and birthing companion. Because your stress is reduced, your baby will not have to experience the negative consequences of your fear and panic, such as the rush of adrenaline that puts the body into survival mode. You don’t have to put your baby through that. And when your baby is born, you don’t have to experience the separation from your child that can be caused by fear, fatigue or painkillers. After all, what matters most is what you can give your child right from the start. See birth stories at http://www.easybirthing.com/birth_images.htm
