Why HypnoBirthing of Connecticut™
There are many reasons HypnoBirthing of CT has become the leading provider of independent childbirth education in the region, including:
Reputation: Cynthia Overgard, founder of HypnoBirthing of Connecticut, LLC, has been featured in numerous publications internationally (as both author and interview subject) and has been named the “expert in HypnoBirthing education”. What began as a childbirth education practice in 2007 has evolved into a thriving full-service holistic prenatal center. Cynthia’s passion, charisma and reputation have drawn more than 450 couples from a 90 mile radius to her prenatal center in Connecticut.
Class Environment: When you step into the spacious, light-filled, professionally-designed studio in beautiful Westport, CT, you’ll understand how your emotional and physical comfort set the perfect stage for learning and applying the relaxation tools for giving birth. A wall of oversized windows overlook dense trees and the reflective stillness of a small pond below. The interior decor consists of brand new furniture and a hardwood cherry floor in a warm yet peaceful color scheme. In our adjacent room, couples are always welcome to a table of organic homemade foods, providing delectable comfort with a relaxed, social feel at every gathering.
Complete Pre- and Postnatal Support: Couples consistently report that they obtain far more from the HypnoBirthing of Connecticut class content than they ever imagined. This is because Cynthia is highly-informed in the field of childbirth well beyond her childbirth education credentials. Further, at HypnoBirthing of Connecticut, you can enjoy an extended community of providers and services for your every need, and continued education through our exclusive classes and workshops designed to make your transition into childbirth and parenting as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Parent Community: The last thing you think you need as a soon-to-be mom could be what you’ll end up cherishing the most: a caring, educated community of other new moms who share your interest in conscious birthing and parenting. Our couples have formed a strong network of support for one another that has resulted in genuine and lasting friendships. From the moment you register for class, we can frequently put you in touch with other women who birthed with your midwife or OB so you can obtain first-hand feedback on how well those practitioners supported them in their wishes for a calm, uneventful birth. Our monthly Birth Story Gatherings , quarterly Breastfeeding Workshops and Champagne Brunch are particularly enjoyable opportunities for connecting with other new moms.
Professional Network: Through Cynthia, you will have direct access to a network of several dozen qualified practitioners all over Connecticut and New York who support women through pregnancy and childbirth. This includes midwives, prenatal chiropractors, pediatricians of varying philosophies, prenatal acupuncturists and massage therapists, birth and postpartum doulas, prenatal yoga instructors and obstetricians.
Unlimited Support: There is no limit to the support you’ll receive through pregnancy and birth. Cynthia makes herself highly accessible and provides her couples with many ways of reaching her for emotional guidance and support even long after they have completed the course.
