What is HypnoBirthing®?

HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method is more than just a childbirth class—it’s a philosophy and practice designed to help you prepare for a calm, comfortable, and confident birth. In this 5-week series, you’ll learn how to release fear and tension, reconnect with your natural birthing instincts, and tap into powerful relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques to create the birth experience you desire.

This class is perfect for those planning an unmedicated birth, but the tools and knowledge you’ll gain are invaluable no matter your birth preferences. Through evidence-based education, engaging discussions, and hands-on practice, you’ll leave feeling empowered and ready to trust your body’s ability to birth with ease.

Join me in this class to embrace a new perspective on childbirth, one that’s rooted in calm, trust, and connection. Your body already knows how to birth. HypnoBirthing helps your mind catch up.

Let’s make your birth one to remember for all the right reasons. Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today!

Meet Your Instructor

Hi! I’m Denise Curtis. I’m a CAPPA Certified Labor & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and HypnoBirthing® Certified Educator in the Los Angeles area. Over the years, I’ve guided thousands of families like yours to prepare for birth with calm confidence and readiness.

I often hear:

“I want a calm, natural birth, but I don’t know where to start.”

“I’m nervous about what birth will feel like. How can I ensure a relaxed birth?”

“How do I advocate for myself and make sure my birth space feels safe and respected?”

Your birth experience should be empowering, peaceful, and fully yours. Through HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method, I’ll help you understand the natural rhythms of labor, teach you proven relaxation techniques, and equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions every step of the way.

In this 5-week series, you and your birth partner will gain the tools and confidence to approach birth with calm assurance, whether you’re planning for an unmedicated birth or simply seeking a more positive and serene experience.

Don’t wait! Class sizes are intentionally small to ensure personalized attention. Reserve your spot today and take the first step toward the birth experience you deserve!

What My Clients Say

Hailey Thompson Bonus

Hailey Thompson Bonus

She came to our house to teach us the infant care class, and made the whole process so easy and painless. She's super knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, and brought a doll and props to literally give us hands on experience.

Veronica Robinson

Veronica Robinson

She covers a lot of information in a short amount of time, while also making it manageable and applicable. We could not be as confident as we are without her.

kelsey dolby

She was a great coach leading up to the birth and through the hypnobirthing course. She coached us through all the twists and turns. She was calm the entire time and so incredibly helpful. At one point during my surges my mantra was "Denise is here. I am safe."

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the class?

This is a 5-week series held on Wednesday evenings from 7:00–9:30pm. Each class is approximately 2.5 hours long.

Am I able to bring my birth partner?

Absolutely! Your birth partner plays a crucial role in HypnoBirthing. The class teaches them specific techniques to support you during labor. However, you are welcome to attend alone or with a different support person.

When is the ideal time in pregnancy to take a HypnoBirthing® Class?

Ideally, start the series between 25–35 weeks of pregnancy. This gives you enough time to practice the techniques before your due date.

What sets your class apart from the others?

My classes are intentionally small to ensure personalized attention. You’ll learn proven HypnoBirthing® relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques, receive the official book and audio tracks, and get ongoing support from me throughout your pregnancy.

How much does the class cost?

The class series is $500 per couple. This includes the HypnoBirthing® book, audio tracks, handout booklet, and all class materials.

Do you take insurance?

I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many families have had success getting reimbursed through their HSA or FSA accounts.
