Jaclyn Sieben, RN began her nursing career in Maine 25 years ago. She is a labor and birthing nurse and a member of the Association of Wome's Health and Neonatal Nursing, (AWHONN). Jaclyn has extensive experience in Natural Childbirth, Waterbirthing, and HypnoBirthing.

HypnoBirthing is as much a philosopyh as it is a technique. The concept of HypnoBirthing is not new, but rather a rebirth of the philosophy of birthing as it existed thousands of years ago. In the absence of fear and tension, severe pain does NOT have to be a natural accompaniment of labor. Mothers to be and their birthing companions will experience their birthing in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the muscles of your body from functioning as nature intended them to. In this calm state the body's natural anesthesia, endorphins, replaces the stress hormones the constrict and cause pain.

Classes are offered Wednesday Evenings in five 2 1/2 hour sessions scheduled throughout the year. Weekend accelerated classes are available on request.







HypnoBirthing classes are done individually or in small groups depending on the needs of those involved.
