Childbirth Education

http://www.imagerybirthing.com/ I offer Imagery Birthing Classess. Imagery Birthing is a type of childbirth education that uses guided imagery, deep relaxation, and abdominal breathing for the best birth experience that the mom controls, using her own imagery and affirmations, some moms even have pain free births if they apply themselves to the method!!! This is not a program that puts you into a hypnotic trance, but does allow you to relax to the point that you achieve deep relaxation and may even fall asleep during contractions!
