HypnoBirthing® is a well-established method and philosophy designed to help families approach childbirth with calmness and confidence. This approach nurtures both the mind and body, supporting the well-being of the birthing parent, their birth partner, and the baby.

Congratulations On Your Pregnancy!

This is a wonderful and transformative time, but it’s natural to experience a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Joy and anticipation often come hand in hand with questions and concerns. My goal is to support you on this journey with knowledge, affirmations, and encouragement. In today’s world, simply hoping for the best isn’t always enough—being informed and prepared can make all the difference. This childbirth education workshop is designed to help you let go of fear, embrace confidence, and approach birth with a sense of calm and empowerment. I invite you to join our supportive birth community and step into this experience with trust and strength!

Partners Preparing For Parenting Together

HypnoBirthing workshops are designed to include both parents when available, ensuring that everyone feels confident and prepared for their new journey ahead. Becoming the best parent is a lifelong learning process, and our classes provide a toolkit of practical skills and techniques for mindful parenting. These tools can be used from conception through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. From breathing exercises and deep bonding to advocacy and informed decision-making, we aim to equip parents with the knowledge and confidence they need for this transformative experience. 

If your partner is unavailable to attend classes with you, you are welcome to attend alone or bring a substitute support person if you desire.

Light touch massage is a comfort measure that we will practice.

Partners Will Learn

• How to play an active and intimate role in the birth process and help the birthing person maintain focus and deep relaxation through each stage. While the nurses and midwives/doctors will be focused on the birthing parent and baby’s vitals and documenting everything, your physical and emotional support is going to be crucial.
• Comfort measures to support your partner with your voice and through physical touch. Guide the birthing person by mirroring breathing techniques at each stage, offering tension releasing massage, and identifying position changes to encourage progress.
• How to advocate for your partner and baby by learning what questions to ask to make decisions with confidence and help the birthing person stay in control of their birth experience. You play a vital role in minimizing unnecessary interventions while ensuring the birthing person feels secure and comfortable.
• Bonding before and during birth is crucial for creating a lasting impact on your relationship with both parents and baby. Through exercises in class and at home, you'll strengthen your connection and foster a deeper bond.

Many mothers and partners share that after experiencing the encouragement and care of their HypnoBirthing partners, they feel an even deeper connection and love than they ever imagined!
