The hipbirth method is a timeless, trusted, and a praised method of childbirth that has a proven track record of over 20 years. The same principles are applied today as they were over two decades ago and continue to produce promised results. The hipbirth method is an internationally accepted program that has been used and validated not only by mamas around the globe but has also received accolades from nurse practitioners, midwives, doctors, medical staff, and hospitals. We would love to hear about your experience and how the hipbirth method made a difference through the birth of your precious baby.

I cannot thank you enough for giving me the ability to experience with JOY the labor and birth of my daughter. It is the highlight of all the experiences of my life. The hipbirth method that you developed enabled me to experience the birth of my baby without fear, negative preconceptions, or doubt. You taught me to trust my body, not fear it. From the very first contraction to the moment that she was placed in my arms I felt nothing but peace and strength. I could actually feel myself become more and more confident as my labor progressed. I was able to be in the moment of my labor, and consciously decide to acknowledge the beauty of what was happening to me – right as it was happening. When my baby was born, the doctor and nurses commented on how alert she was, and I was so proud to know that I was able to give her the gift of coming into the world without any medications – she was able to experience her own birth the way it was meant to be. I think back to my labor and smile because I was not robbed of the experience of giving birth by drugs and apprehension. I hope to have a second child someday, and can’t imagine giving birth any other way. I actually look forward to my next labor and delivery!

You have a gift for helping women realize that they have the power within themselves to have the kind of birth experience that they want. The time I spent learning from you was in and of itself a truly wonderful process, and I know that I will carry the lessons I learned throughout my life. I had never done anything like hypnosis or deep relaxation before, and you made it so easy and unintimidating to learn. You are a remarkable person, and I feel blessed and thankful to have found the hipbirth method.

For the rest of my life, I can look back on my entire experience with joy, and I have hipbirth method to thank for it.

I began using the hipbirth method at 33 weeks. For about six weeks I committed myself to listening to the audio downloads and practicing what I came to realize were powerfully effective exercises. My husband was minimally involved with the effort. He watched the DVD once and participated with the exercises only a handful of times. On the morning of my delivery I woke up at 2:30 AM … went to the hospital at 4:30 AM with completely manageable contractions having been 5 minutes apart for two hours. When we arrived the receiving nurse didn’t believe I was in labor. We walked the length of hospital to the delivery, checked in and couldn’t wait for the nurses to get out of the room so I could put on the audio files. We ran out of time. My wide-eyed son was delivered at 6:17 AM – no pain meds, no drugs. Too bad they don’t make a “Hip-Motherhood” program for the first 6 weeks back at home!

Childbirth hypnosis is not just a passing trend. From the beginning of time, women have taken themselves deep into trance naturally, whether they knew it or not, when in labor and while giving birth. today, Hypnotherapists, such as Lori Dorman, have studied and refined these natural and essential techniques in order to provide women with calm, relaxed, and spiritual births. Using hypnotherapy allows women to remain in control at all times. Her pain level never becomes too intense and in many cases does not exist. With the reduction of stress and anxiety, stress hormones are reduced and this allows the women’s natural analgesia to “kick” in as it were, “endorphins”, so the labor experience becomes one of pleasure, not pain. The women feel empowered and in control. Her birth experience is one of joy and fulfillment. All of these reasons are why I recommend the hipbirth method. As a nurse and midwife, I have seen the hipbirth method first hand at work. As women, we have been fooled too long into thinking labor has to be painful when thousands of women are discovering a different and kinder way to experience birth.

The hypnotist has a very relaxing, pleasant voice, much better than the Mongan Method HypnoBirthing’s low, masculine-sounding, female hypnotist. I would definitely purchase this program over HypnoBirthing (Mongan Method) because it is much more complex and provides great visualization practices that are much better thought-out and meaningful. The Mongan Method’s “Rainbow Relaxation” is just too elementary. The hipbirth method is simply much better designed and useful because it goes well beyond a silly relaxation using a rainbow image and does teach you how to deeply relax/hypnotize yourself. It is imperative for mothers to actively practice relaxing, and this program excels at teaching this. Deep relaxation helps with the last month of pregnancy when many mothers-to-be experience anxiety and other issues that interfere with sleep, and is a vital skill to use during labor. The program also teaches visualization, another wonderful skill to cultivate for a positive birth experience.

My results: 6-hour labor and no epidural. The self-induced relaxation technique made my labor speed by. I slept through the first stage of labor and listened to these CDs while at the hospital (a total of 4 hours from entry at the hospital until delivery). There is not much training for the delivery period, just let your body do what it already knows how to do. 
A great side benefit was improved sleep quality during the weeks I listened to the CD sets. There are several suggestions in the CDs to help you quickly return to sleep after the frequent visits to the bathroom. They work perfectly! I feel this CD set earned its value in sleep quality alone. The relatively easy labor was a bonus. 2013 Update: I had baby #2 last year and had great results again. 5-hour labor with no epidural or any other meds. Things progressed too quickly for any drugs to be considered. Note: Dedicate 45 minutes a day for 6 weeks for improved quality of sleep and the best labor any gal could ask for.
