Childbirth Classes & HypnoBirthing for the Phoenix Metro Area
Evidence-based education + proven mind-body techniques for a calmer, more confident birth
Why Choose Hypnobirthing?
Expecting a baby in the Phoenix area and searching for childbirth classes that go beyond the hospital basics? Our hybrid program combines modern, evidence-based childbirth education with the deep relaxation and mindset tools of HypnoBirthing—serving families across Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Glendale, Peoria, and Tempe.
Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, want tools to stay calm before getting an epidural, or simply want to feel in control of your birth experience, this course gives you both: the science of birth and the skill of staying centered.
What Makes Our Classes Different?
Most childbirth classes teach what happens during labor. HypnoBirthing teaches how you can respond to it. Our program brings both together:
Standard Childbirth Class
Stages of labor & what to expect
Birth positions, movement, comfort measures
Medical options: epidural, induction, cesarean
Hospital procedures & informed decision-making
Partner coaching, advocacy & timing
HypnoBirthing Techniques
Deep breathing for natural pain relief
Guided relaxation & fear-release tools
Mind-body connection to reduce tension & adrenaline
Visualization & positive birth language
Partner cueing, anchoring, and calm support
This isn’t a “just breathe and hope” class. It’s preparation + practice + mindset—designed for real birth in real environments, whether you deliver at Banner Desert in Mesa, HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea, St. Joseph’s in Phoenix, or any Phoenix-area birth center.
Who This Class Is Perfect For
First-time parents who want clarity + emotional calm
Parents who had a stressful or traumatic first birth and want a better experience
Families planning an unmedicated birth and want proven coping tools
Planned epidural families who want techniques for the hours before the epidural
Planned inductions or VBACs needing extra mental preparation
Partners who want a job to do—not just stand there “cheering”

Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnobirthing
-
Do I have to want a completely natural birth?
No. Many families combine HypnoBirthing with pain medication, inductions, or planned epidurals.
-
Is it weird or “too woo-woo”?
No chanting, no crystals, no forced affirmations. It’s neuroscience + breathwork + relaxation training.
-
Is this better than my hospital class?
Hospital classes teach policies. We teach skills. Most students take this instead of or in addition to the hospital version.
-
When should I take the class?
Ideally by 32–36 weeks—so you have time to practice the relaxation techniques.
-
Can partners participate with me?
Yes, this is strongly encouraged. HypnoBirthing is partner-powered.

Birth doesn’t have to be something you just “get through.” With the right preparation, it can be calm, powerful, and deeply positive.
Ally Bollman
“Going into this birth so excited and feeling 100 times more prepared!”
Whitney Ford
"Not only was the class incredibly informative, even for third time parents, it was so much fun. We left each class feeling excited about the calm and confident birth we were working towards."
Why Add HypnoBirthing to Your Birth Preparation?
Because fear increases pain. When the body is tense, it slows labor, increases perceived pain, and often leads to more interventions. HypnoBirthing teaches you to:
✅ Lower adrenaline and increase oxytocin (the hormone that creates contractions)
✅ Release fear and tension before labor even begins
✅ Breathe the baby down rather than forcefully “push”
✅ Keep the neocortex quiet so instinct takes over
✅ Enter labor already confident—not bracing for trauma
Even if your birth changes direction—epidural, induction, cesarean—these tools still apply.
