There is a secret in our culture – it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong. - Laura Stavoe Harm |

About Me
loss of the vaginal birth I had so desired but I was so amazed at the power of my hypnosis to keep me
going for 41 hours straight without the need or the
desire for any pain medicines. From that moment
on, I knew that I wanted to do what she did. I want
to help women have an amazing experience for
every birth they have. I want to help women know
that their bodies are perfectly made to birth and
that the more we stay out of the way of this natural
process, the better the birth experience can be.
In August of 2011 I again used my wonderful
Hypnobabies tools to birth our second baby, a
daughter, in a wonderful home VBAC experience.
Using Hypnobabies this second time around has only
strengthened my faith in this amazing program and
my amazement at how wonderful and powerful the
mind is!
I have been honored to serve many families through their individual and beautiful birth journeys.

My journey to becoming a doula and childbirth educator began in
mid 2007 when my husband and I found out that we were
expecting our first baby. I, as most mothers-to-be, had never
heard of the word "doula." Through my search on all things baby
and birth I was able to answer that question and found an amazing
childbirth preparation course called Hypnobabies. My husband
was a little iffy about this, but I insisted, so we signed up for the six-
week course. This is where my life changed, even more so than it
already had. Our Hypnobabies instructor, who is also a doula,
opened our eyes to the amazing thing that birth is, that it can be
such an empowering event in a woman's life and that it truly is a
right of passage. After we completed our six week Hypnobabies
course we asked our instructor to join us at the birth as our doula
and in April of 2008 she helped us welcome our beautiful and
amazing son into this world. My Hypnobabies worked wonderfully
and I experienced a wonderful labor of 40 hours, however our
loss of the vaginal birth I had so desired but I was so amazed at the power of my hypnosis to keep me
going for 41 hours straight without the need or the
desire for any pain medicines. From that moment
on, I knew that I wanted to do what she did. I want
to help women have an amazing experience for

process, the better the birth experience can be.
