HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven technique, as well as a philosophy that guides and prepares a woman in giving birth in a peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful manner. It is a program that considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the mother, her birth partner, and the newborn, independent of context, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center.

The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition, and positive body toning.

Yes! This is actually recommended.

“Most importantly it fosters an air of mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the healthcare provider in a traditional healthcare system or an alternative setting.”

Deep S.E.A. ™  stands for Deep State Energetic Alignment.  It is my experience that using additional techniques such as Reiki therapeutic touch allows the therapist to help the client reach a Deeper State of relaxation more quickly, allowing for more time for the actual hypnosis to take place.

Wear comfortable clothing.  Come neither too hungry nor too full.  Spend some time beforehand clarifying your reasons for wanting the hypnotherapy….what are your motivators?

Hypnobirth classes can take place in our Santa Rosa office, over zoom or even in your home (with additional travel fee). Please reach out to schedule your arrangements.

YES! This service can be performed over zoom if you are not local.

We will have already spoken by phone and you will have filled out some paperwork at home and sent it in, which I will have reviewed. 

Hypnobirth sessions will occur in a series of 5 classes. You will be seated in a comfortable reclining chair in a private, tranquil space. 

Every person and every session can be different; your trance state may be light or deep.  It may feel like simple relaxation all the way to light sleep.  However, you’ll be able to use your voice at any time, and, while you are in that state, you will always in complete control of your actions.

You may have more recall of memories, or experience dream-like sounds images, while retaining the sense of being present in the room. You may experience warmth and tingling or other mild sensations at the area my hands are on or near. The overwhelming majority of clients report a deep sense of tranquility and well-being. You will be kept safe and comfortable at all times, and your confidentiality and privacy will be fully protected.

Most people report feeling as if they just had a nice nap.  However, on occasion you may feel emotional or a bit tired.

In rare cases, it’s possible to experience some brief mild lightheadedness. Get up and move about slowly and don’t drive until you are sure you feel completely normal. Allow yourself to relax in your car before driving, or hydrate and walk around a bit. It’s also important to hydrate following any emotional or energetic work, and you’ll be offered water following your session.  

You may experience cold-like or mild GI symptoms for a day after any intense energetic or emotional clearing. Treat yourself gently after a session, taking rest, good nutrition and adequate fluids as needed. Be on the lookout for changes- likely the desired ones or possibly bonus unexpected ones– either in the first hours or over the next several days. Some deep-rooted issues may take more than the initial session to resolve more fully.
