Creative Childbirth: The Complete LeClaire Method Book

The highly successful Leclaire Hypnobirthing Method helps you experience labor and childbirth calmly, joyously, and painlessly! Developed by Michelle Leclaire O’Neill, Ph.D., R.N., a medical professional and mother, this holistic method draws on both modern science and ancient wisdom to present pregnancy as the glorious, instinctive event it should be. All other childbirth programs are left behind; the Leclaire Hypnobirthing Method is the natural childbirth program for the 21st century.
The author's systematic approach gives you back control over your mind and body during childbirth when you may feel it slipping away. Through techniques including self-hypnosis, meditation, massage, and visualization, you learn to ease childbirth jitters, improve bonding between you and your baby, and facilitate your baby's peaceful, painless entry into the world. In addition, the Leclaire Hypnobirthing Method can prevent unhealthy birth weight, ease the transition to breastfeeding, and create the healthiest possible environment for a new life!
