what is hypnobirthing?
HypnoBirthing is an evidenced based program that blends mindfulness, guided relaxation, and comprehensive childbirth education.
Gain the confidence and knowledge to make informed choices and establish habits to condition your body for birth so you're fully prepared long before labor begins.
HypnoBirthing is a 5 week series with homework between classes to help you perfect your deepening relaxation techniques. The course works best when you practice all the scripts that speak to you and condition your body to respond to the sensory cues we learn about to better relax during your labor.
It is for both the pregnant person & their partners. The goal is to leave partners feeling fully prepared to support you through the rest of your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period.
I can’t say enough good things about this class. I still use these techniques to fall asleep! It is a life changing course that made such a huge difference in my labors. I hope you find it changes yours as well.
Are you scared about labor?
This course is excellent for people who are feeling a little anxious about how labor might go. The HypnoBirthing philosophy is that birth is natural- normal healthy pregnancies can have normal, healthy labors when women are prepared and care providers leave her undisturbed.
The fears you might possess around birth are not yours. Perhaps they come from horror stories that tend to get shared with pregnant women, or maybe it’s all the fictionalized accounts of birth that show it as horrible and chaotic- just plain unenjoyable.
Have you ever seen a birth in a movie that was magical, beautiful, and calm?
You will watch amazing HypnoBirths in each class.
Birth is hard, but you can do hard things.
What if you could say “I look forward to my labor” and mean it?!
HypnoBirthing gives you the tools to change your mindset, confront fears, and help you face your labor head on, ready to birth with confidence and joy.
I can’t promise it’ll be pain free, but I can promise this transformational experience can be so much better when you’re able to wrap your mind around the beauty of it and see yourself as the birthing goddess I know you are.

There’s no wrong way to have a HypnoBirth. You can birth at home or the hospital and have a HypnoBirth. You can have an induction and/or an epidural and have a HypnoBirth. You can have a planned or unplanned Csection and have a HypnoBirth! That’s because it’s all in the mindset.
The goal is that you know your options, that you are making decisions that are not based in fear, but because they’re the right choices for you.
My baby was malpositioned during my first labor and giving myself the gift of an epidural was a very loving choice, even though it’s originally not what I wanted. But birth happens and being able to pivot and take challenges head on (skills you learn in this class) made such a huge difference in my experience. She came out sunny side up, starting into my eyes, ready to meet her mama!
