CASCO – Natural Childbirth Alternatives and Hypnotherapy is a new business offering classes and services for alternatives in childbirth.

Located in Casco and serving Cumberland, Oxford and Androscoggin counties, the business teaches women to approach childbirth comfortable and relaxed. It offers 24-hour on-call support for the month the mother is due and one-on-one support and guidance for the mother and partner during and after labor.

Natural Childbirth Alternatives and Hypnotherapy also offers hypnosis for people who want to lose weight, quit smoking, reduce stress, reduce fatigue and increase self-esteem. The purpose of hypnosis is to provide a means of bypassing parts of the mind to access the nonreasoning, suggestible subconscious.
