I love being a part of the process that empowers mothers and their babies to create the birthing experience that is right for them. Through the incredibly powerful tool of self-hypnosis, a new belief system is created; one which replaces the fear/stress/pain syndrome with a knowledgeable, confident, relaxed, painless, and gentle birthing.

You will learn how to work in harmony with your body and your baby. Completing a childbirth education course using self-hypnosis will provide a confident, calm, and gentle birth experience for both mother and baby.

In the Hypnobabies course you will learn about:

Optimal health and wellness for you and your baby.
The power of the Body/Mind Connection.
Self-hypnosis techniques similar to those used in surgical and dental procedures. The Hypnobabies mother can create her own anesthesia when and where it is needed, during the labor and delivery; also throughout the pregnancy and postpartum stage.
Birthing positions to provide comfort during both pregnancy and labor, and to rotate and reposition a breech or posterior baby.
Strategies that will shorten the labor process.
Fear Release Techniques.
