What is HypnoBirthing
About Hypnobirthing
Hi MAMA,
I’m Mandie Medford, your childbirth educator and owner of HypnoBirthing Las Vegas. Since 2008, I have been honored to support families in experiencing calm, confident, and empowered births in my hometown of Las Vegas, NV.
Over the years, I've guided over 1,000 families throughout the Las Vegas and Henderson communities. I believe that birth can be a peaceful, natural, and beautiful experience.
As a mother of three daughters, my passion and belief in the HypnoBirthing program grew after having my first daughter, Makenzie. Welcoming my daughters with little intervention, in a calm and gentle way shaped me as a mother. I believe that all mothers should be given the opportunity to have a gentle birth experience for themselves and their babies. HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method, helped me achieve my goal of three unmedicated births.
My personal life-changing moments continue to inspire the work I have done for over 18 years. I graduated from UNLV with a degree in Education. I am a trained birth doula, lactation educator, and received training in neonatal resuscitation. During my time as a birth professional, I have attended several births of HypnoBirthing families, and have seen these tools assist mothers in all types of birth scenarios.
I offer years of knowledge and serve families the best way possible. I stay actively involved in the local birth community and am dedicated to helping parents feel informed, supported, and confident as they create the birth experience that feels right for them.
I truly believe birth is a celebration of life-and it's my honor to help families welcome their babies with peace, joy, and trust in their bodies. I hope I have the opportunity to help you and your baby too.

About HypnoBirthing
The Fastest Growing Childbirth Education Program in the U.S.
HypnoBirthing® is a complete, full-service childbirth education program designed to prepare both your mind and body for a calm, healthy, and empowered birth. The course is taught over five weekly sessions (each 3 hours) and is designed for both mom and her birth partner. Your tuition includes all class instruction and materials.
While HypnoBirthing is effective at any stage of pregnancy, beginning in the early second trimester allows you to fully integrate the relaxation techniques, nutrition, and mindset that support a more peaceful birth experience.
What Makes HypnoBirthing Different
Unlike traditional childbirth classes, HypnoBirthing focuses on trust—trust in your body, your baby, and the natural birth process.
Most births unfold naturally without complication, so rather than focusing on rare interventions, we focus on building confidence, reducing fear, and preparing you for a positive experience. You’ll also learn how fear and tension can create discomfort—and how deep relaxation can help your body work the way it was designed to.
HypnoBirthing doesn’t promise a pain-free birth, but many mothers report little to no pain. What it does offer is a powerful set of tools to help you feel calm, in control, and supported throughout your labor.
What You’ll Learn
This program goes far beyond birth—it gives you tools you can use for life:
-
Deep Relaxation Techniques to reduce fear and support your body during labor
-
Gentle Breathing Methods to encourage a calm, steady birthing experience
-
Understanding the Body so you can trust the natural process of birth
-
Nutrition Guidance to support a healthy pregnancy and baby
-
Prenatal Bonding to connect with your baby before birth
-
Birth Companion Support so your partner feels confident and involved
-
We’ll also cover labor positions, birth preferences, breastfeeding, and more—so you feel fully prepared and supported every step of the way.
A Birth Experience to Remember
HypnoBirthing reminds you that this is not just your birth—it’s your baby’s birth, too. Together, we focus on creating a gentle, respectful, and joyful experience for both of you.
Certified by HypnoBirthing Institute
HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven technique, as well as a philosophy that guides and prepares a woman in giving birth in a peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful manner. It is a program that considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the mother, her birth partner, and the newborn, independent of context, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center.
The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition, and positive body toning. Most importantly it fosters an air of mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the healthcare provider in a traditional healthcare system or an alternative setting.
We know you have many choices and many decisions to make for your birthing experience. You have choices in selecting your care provider; you have choices in selecting the environment in which you will bring your baby into the world. Another important choice is that of the childbirth education classes you will choose to prepare for the birth of your baby. We know you will be happy with your choice of HypnoBirthing®, a premium childbirth education program.
