What is HypnoBirthing®?
HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method is more than just a childbirth class—it’s a philosophy and practice designed to help you prepare for a calm, comfortable, and confident birth. In this 5-week series, you’ll learn how to release fear and tension, reconnect with your natural birthing instincts, and tap into powerful relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques to create the birth experience you desire.
This class is perfect for those planning an unmedicated birth, but the tools and knowledge you’ll gain are invaluable no matter your birth preferences. Through evidence-based education, engaging discussions, and hands-on practice, you’ll leave feeling empowered and ready to trust your body’s ability to birth with ease.
Join me in this class to embrace a new perspective on childbirth, one that’s rooted in calm, trust, and connection. Your body already knows how to birth. HypnoBirthing helps your mind catch up.
Let’s make your birth one to remember for all the right reasons. Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today!

Meet Your Instructor

- Certified Labor & Postpartum Doula (CAPPA)
- HypnoBirthing® Certified Educator
- Childbirth & Infant Care Educator
- Lactation Coach & Educator

Hi! I’m Denise Curtis. I’m a CAPPA Certified Labor & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and HypnoBirthing® Certified Educator in the Los Angeles area. Over the years, I’ve guided thousands of families like yours to prepare for birth with calm confidence and readiness.
I often hear:
“I want a calm, natural birth, but I don’t know where to start.”
“I’m nervous about what birth will feel like. How can I ensure a relaxed birth?”
“How do I advocate for myself and make sure my birth space feels safe and respected?”
Your birth experience should be empowering, peaceful, and fully yours. Through HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method, I’ll help you understand the natural rhythms of labor, teach you proven relaxation techniques, and equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions every step of the way.
In this 5-week series, you and your birth partner will gain the tools and confidence to approach birth with calm assurance, whether you’re planning for an unmedicated birth or simply seeking a more positive and serene experience.
Don’t wait! Class sizes are intentionally small to ensure personalized attention. Reserve your spot today and take the first step toward the birth experience you deserve!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the class?
This is a 5-week series held on Monday evenings from 7:00–9:30pm. Each class is approximately 2.5 hours long.
Am I able to bring my birth partner?
Absolutely! Your birth partner plays a crucial role in HypnoBirthing. The class teaches them specific techniques to support you during labor. You're welcome to attend alone, but I definitely recommend bringing your main birth support person, whether that's your spouse, significant other, friend, family member, or doula. (Only 1 partner is allowed per registration.)
When is the ideal time in pregnancy to take a HypnoBirthing® Class?
Ideally, start the series between 25–35 weeks of pregnancy. This gives you enough time to practice the techniques before your due date.
What sets your class apart from the others?
My classes are intentionally small to ensure personalized attention. You’ll learn proven HypnoBirthing® relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques, receive the official book and audio tracks, and get ongoing support from me throughout your pregnancy.
How much does the class cost?
The HypnoBirthing® class series is $495 per couple. This includes the HypnoBirthing book, audio tracks, handout booklet, and all class materials. You may come alone or bring up to 1 partner with you.
Do you take insurance?
I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Most insurances cover part or all of the cost of Childbirth Classes, be sure to check your plan. Many families have had success getting reimbursed through their HSA or FSA accounts as well.
