CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION
Understanding the basics of physiologic birth and how to the navigate labor journey is key in having a satisfying birthing experience. I can support you in learning about the many decision making points you may encounter and the evidenced based information necessary to equip you in making choices that suit you best. I offer 3-hour intensives that can be added to your birth doula support package.
I currently offer private instruction. Please contact me for more information.
HYPNOBIRTHING
HypnoBirthing® is a childbirth education series consisting of 5 classes taught over 5 weeks, with a total 10 hours of instruction. I prioritize creating an intimate experiential learning environment, that is inclusive, accessible and affirming.
You will develop an understanding of the bio-physiology of pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. You will learn methods of rapid relaxation, fear release, visualization, affirmation, self hypnosis and breathing techniques to increase your comfort and confidence. You will have daily and weekly exercises to practice the techniques we teach, so you can optimize their effectiveness in birth. You will have an opportunity to build community with other expecting folks and have your questions answered and resources shared.
If this resonates with you, please contact me for more information.
“We LOVED it. The content was great! I particularly liked that you had us watch those labor videos, because I would have never had the guts to do it. I have always been into hypnosis, and I really think it works, and is a perfect tool for labor. Changed our entire perspective—basically, thank goodness we found you guys. It was also just so nice to meet all the other couples. The whole thing was just really quite a pleasure and to be honest, I am sad it’s over! ”
