Meet Elaine
I am so happy you are here. My name is Elaine Santin, a Nurse for over 18 years with a focus in Pediatrics and Postpartum care and a Mother to 4 wonderful young adults. Working on a postpartum unit is where I came to find my passion for supporting families in their birthing journey. I had a desire to be able to support birthing people and families at the beginning stages of their journey, so in 2021, I became a certified Hypnobabies® Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor. I am here to honour your desired path and offer prenatal support, childbirth education, and mind-body-spirit preparation for more a positive birth.
Please reach out if you’d like to chat and receive more information or have any questions. Thank you for being here.
What is Hypnobabies?
Hypnobabies is a complete childbirth education course that teaches real, medical-grade somnambulistic hypnosis techniques, creating an automatically peaceful, relaxing and more comfortable pregnancy, a calm confident Birth Partner, and an easier, much more comfortable natural birthing for our pregnant students.
Hypnobabies is a 6 week, 3-hours per week, complete childbirth education course that was adapted with permission from Master Hypnotherapist Gerald Kein’s “Painless Childbirth Program” techniques (medical grade, somnambulistic hypnosis) rather than using simple relaxation, breathing or guided imagery. This allows our Hypnobabies students to enjoy “eyes-open childbirth hypnosis”, easily remaining deeply in hypnosis while walking, talking and changing positions; being as mobile as they would like to be during childbirth. Hypnobabies is well-known for helping people create much shorter, easier and more comfortable labors, making childbirth the joyful experience it was meant to be.
Expectant students use our Hypnobabies Workbook, audio tracks and hypnosis scripts to re-train their subconscious minds that contractions in labor will be perceived by their body as pressure or a squeezing-type sensations, and/or pushing, pulling and normal baby movement sensations. With the use of real, medical-grade hypnosis and the type of hypnotic compounding (repetition) that our Hypnobabies students learn, practice and use during labor, normal birthing sensations can easily be transformed into pleasurable ones. Our students are also fully in tune with their babies during the birthing process, and as aware of everything around them as they’d like to be, easily able to communicate with their support team, and completely in charge of their own birth experience.
Hypnobabies uses the same medical hypnosis techniques that people employ when preparing for surgery without any drugs, which is called hypno-anesthesia. Our classes also teach Hypnobabies Birth Partners how to fully support their pregnant partners, and Hypnobabies is also used very successfully by single mothers. A willing Birth Partner is a bonus!
