When to Start Hypnobabies
When to Start Hypnobabies
If you’re interested in Hypnobabies, it's “ideal” to start around 29-32 weeks!
There is a little homework each week we call "home play" because it's fun! Then listening to the empowering joyful birth affirmations track (the only track that is not hypnosis) while brushing your teeth, driving, doing dishes, etc. one time each day, and then listening to each week’s hypnosis track before bed which usually puts you to sleep! It's that relaxing! So if you're having sleep issues pregnant, it's a game changer! And, yes, sleeping through it still counts!
Also, if you’re already past 32 weeks, there is an accelerated version so don’t let that stop you from learning Hypnobabies, the best tool for an easier, more comfortable birth experience.
The home study course is always an option if you can't join our group class series. Our group class schedules are below!

About Hypnobabies:
Hypnobabies is a 6-week comprehensive childbirth education course using self-hypnosis (medical grade) for a more confident and peaceful birthing experience! Each class is roughly 3 hours long and includes education and new techniques that build upon the week before. To get the most out of the course and your hypnosis skills, they need to be practiced on a daily basis until your baby is born. We will discuss ways to fit this into your daily schedule during class 1. See our detailed Class Outline ➛
Hypnobirthing Methods
Unlike hypnobirthing which doesn’t have actual hypnosis, this Los Angeles Hypnobabies childbirth course is not a basic hypnobirthing course where you just listen whenever you want randomly, and will not be effective if you listen and learn one day here, one day there, skip a week, etc. Its medical-grade method is effective through the process of compounding and repetitive practice. Unlike the older style of hypnobirthing, Hypnobabies is actually medical-grade hypnosis used by medical professionals for preparing their clients for spinal surgeries and dentistry without anesthesia, but it’s formulated for birthing. The schedule is very structured and is so in order to be effective. You can sleep with a track so literally you can’t get behind since you’re not wasting daylight hours listening to tracks.
Students must attend all 6 classes
If you cannot make the first class, you must reach out to me to schedule a private class immediately, so you do not get behind on your hypnosis training since each following week of instruction builds on the previous week’s hypnosis techniques. Private classes are the same length (3 hours) at an additional $125 per private makeup class.
Class refund policy
Hypnobabies classes are limited to 6 pregnant women. The deposit fee ($150) is refunded upon request if the student decides they will not attend the class for any reason, if they contact the instructor 48 hours prior to the class start date. There are no refunds under any circumstances if outside the 48 window prior to the first class start date.

Hypnobabies also has a wonderful home study option and can be purchased directly from Hypnobabies.com. The cost is $189-$239 depending on if you order the online home study version or the (hard copy) print edition version of the home study course. This is a self-study that the birthing person does mostly on their own, though birth partners are encouraged to follow along and have a few small things to do to be involved. It contains the same wonderful tools and techniques that are taught in the live Hypnobabies childbirth class.
The print edition of the home study course includes all Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis printed workbooks, booklets, handouts and audio tracks (on MP3 download cards), which is especially great if you don’t want to print out a TON of materials because they send them all to you, shipped in an organized fashion! Our doula clients love the print edition because it keeps them accountable and is easily accessible in a binder; a tangible way to learn since having physical papers can be more of a reminder to create a ritual.

Optional bonus – The birth rehearsal is not included in the home study course since it is only included in the live instructor led group class or private class. However, home study users can hire a Hypnobabies instructor for a virtual HSA birth rehearsal where we do a review of the course, make sure the birth partner feels fully up to speed for their role, and do a real time birth rehearsal to practice using all the tools, plus breathing and pushing methods. This HSA is an invaluable way to make sure you are able to reap the full Hypnobabies benefits of all the Hypnobabies tools you will have spent so much time learning and practicing. Sign up here.

“We had Camille for our Hypnobabies instructor and I can honestly say that in my first 28 hours of unmedicated labor at a Birth center, the Hypnobabies really did work in taking my pain from a 12 to a three.”

“I had such a great experience taking Hypnobabies from Camille Fiori. I was apprehensive about childbirth, and I wanted to feel more ‘in control’ during the experience – I was hoping not to use an epidural, but I had no idea what class to take. My OB recommended Hypnobabies, and I found Camille Fiori through a contact at the Hypnobabies website.The night of the first class my husband and I had very busy days at work, and we were a bit stressed before the class began – but after we did our first “blue exercise” and started taking deep breaths and relaxing, the day melted away and it felt so good to be in class. My husband and I really looked forward to Camille’s classes every week. My husband especially was very nervous about me giving birth (he hates hospitals), but the classes calmed him down and made him feel prepared for the big day. And he was my hero by my side! Camille kept saying that students who study hypnobabies have shorter births – I wanted to believe her but had no expectations. I went into labor at home at 11pm – I knew just what to do and kept listening to my hypnobabies tracks during the night, changing positions like she had told us to do, and just breathing deeply. We arrived at the hospital at 5am and my son was born at 11am! All the doctors and nurses were very impressed with how calm I seemed. And while I will admit I did not feel as calm on the inside, listening to hypnobabies throughout my birthing time was a wonderful way to focus during my birth. And best yet, I did have the natural birth I wanted!I cannot say enough for the class! While hypnobabies is a really big commitment, and I found it was important to consult with my OB on some of the more natural recommendations that hypnobabies suggests, it’s well worth it. You learn a ton, put birth into a positive light and don’t feel nervous about your birthing time!”
A Note from Your Instructor
A Note from Your Instructor
After working as a Certified Birth Doula for many years, I heard about Hypnobabies from a colleague. I had supported clients who had taken a hypnobirthing class but most of those tools went out the window during labor. So when I first heard about medical-grade hypnosis in Hypnobabies which is not in regular hypnobirthing, I was a huge doubter and I thought there had to be some sort of a trick. I was encouraged over and over again, hearing birth stories from another Hypno-Doula about how easy women were laboring after taking Hypnobabies, and decided to train in the extensive Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula program.
After my training, I was listed on the Hypnobabies website and moms who took the Hypnobabies method started contacting me. I realized these moms who had taken the Hypnobabies method were experiencing even shorter, more relaxing and more comfortable labors than my birth clients who weren't using Hypnobabies.
I found my clients who take an instructor-led Hypnobabies childbirth class or those who do the Hypnobabies Home Study Self-Course have MUCH shorter labors (4-10 hours shorter) than women who choose traditional childbirth classes which focus on coping with pain vs. hypnosis training on relaxation AND they’re falling asleep through birthing waves (contractions) at 10 cm dilated (also called being “complete” when the cervix is fully dilated and pushing can begin)!
My Hypnobabies birth clients experience phenomenal births when they use birth hypnosis specifically through Hypnobabies… so much I had to reduce my regular birth doula package fee by $$$ for those using Hypnobabies because it makes my job so much easier, labor is shorter, and as an incentive for woman to be able to experience this profound type of birth they deserve.
It is so very fulfilling for me to guide an expecting mother through a safe, memorable, and empowering birth experience. Seeing expecting mothers benefit from much more comfortable and easier births using Hypnobabies as a Hypno-Doula inspired me to take the training to become a childbirth educator a few years later, and I began teaching the Hypnobabies Childbirth classes myself! I have been teaching them for 5 years and found that Zoom is the best way to teach this class as most women don't want to sit 20-40 minutes while pregnant and driving to an in-person class, sitting for 3 hours, and then driving or riding in a car another 20-40 minutes while pregnant to get home. Teaching on Zoom allows for deep relaxation at the end of the class, so when I read the hypnosis script at the end of our evening class, you can drift off to dreamland and have much better sleep in pregnancy.
