GROVETOWN, Ga. - Imagine a pain free child birth without the help of medication. One Grovetown woman is instructing expectant mothers on a technique she says can offer that and more.

“It was really painful. I felt really out of control. I couldn't deal with the contractions towards the end especially,” Kristie Press said.

After one painful childbirth, Press was terrified of what was to come when she heard she was expecting again.

“When I first got pregnant in the first couple of months even the thought of going to the hospital just really made me want to cry,” Press said.

Then she found a video of a woman using hypnosis during childbirth on the Internet.

“I was like wow that's completely amazing. She didn't appear to be in pain she wasn't screaming she was actually smiling,” Press said.

The woman was using a technique called hypnobirth.

“Complete physical comfort and relaxation. The deepest relaxation you can possibly get to,” Christen Phillips said.

Phillips also had painful births.

“With the first two I had instrumental delivery and I tore and it was not a fun experience,” she said.

Then she used hypnobirth for the delivery of her daughter Sarah.

“I went on to have a completely pain free birth,” Phillips said.

Now she instructs other women, including Press, on how to relax by reprogramming.

“Things that have a negative association we replace those like instead of labor it's your birth instead of contractions it's pressure waves,” Phillips said.

The technique uses music, thoughts and phrases to reach extreme relaxation.

“It kind of feels like being in a tub of warm water.”

Believe it or not, Phillips says the techniques may actually have you asking for more.

“I really wished it would have lasted a little longer because I was enjoying it so much,” she said.

Phillips offers private and group classes which are six weeks long. Group sessions are $350. The cost for private classes varies.
