The HypnoBirthing® Institute has been in existence since 1990.
Marie (fondly and best known as “Mickey”) is certified as a hypnotherapist, hypnoanesthesiologist, and instructor of hypnotherapy. Mickey is the founder of the HypnoBirthing Institute. She is a mother of four adult children, all born in the late ’50s and early ’60s. She experienced all four labours without labour medication, using the theories of Dr. Jonathan Dye, of Buffalo, New York, and Grantly Dick-Read, of the UK, two pioneers in natural childbirth. Two of her birthings were entirely free of anaesthesia at a time when it was unheard of, and her husband was by her side in both the labour room and the “delivery” room.
