Separate offering for returning parents

HypnoBirthing® Refresher

A standalone refresher for parents who have already completed the full series — not part of the 5-week course above. Thursday, September 17 · $125 — partner welcome.

You’ve done this before, and you know how much preparation matters.

Your body remembers, but a new pregnancy brings its own energy, its own unknowns, and its own invitation to go deeper than you did the first time. This refresher is for the parent who has already experienced HypnoBirthing® and wants to return to the practice — renewed, re-grounded, and fully ready for what’s ahead.

What to Expect

In this single session, we’ll revisit the core HypnoBirthing® techniques — deepening your breath work, relaxation practice, and birth preparation with fresh eyes and a new baby in mind. You’ll leave with your workbook and materials to carry the practice home.

This is for you if:

  • You completed HypnoBirthing® in a previous pregnancy
  • You want a meaningful refresh without repeating the full five-week series
  • You’re ready to meet this birth on its own terms

Investment: $125 includes the workbook and audio meditations.

Registration closes one day before class. Please reach out to hello@matandmaternity.com with any questions.
