History of Hypnotherapy in Childbirth

Believe it or not, hypnotherapy for giving birth started in 1942. English obstetrician Dr. Grantly Dick-Read and French obstetrician Michel Odent were firsts to introduce the idea of using hypnotherapy for childbirth through their book ‘Childbirth without Fear'.

Marie Mongan, a Master Hypnotherapist, further developed the idea. She developed new hypnosis techniques for her daughter and two friends. Since then, many practitioners and educators utilized and adapted the program.
