Just as a woman's heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth. - Virginia Di Orio |

I am a certified Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor (HCHI) and I offer group and private
classes. You can find more information about Hypnobabies here. Classes are comparably priced with
local Bradley and HypnoBirthing classes.
Hypnobabies is a 6-week complete childbirth education course and a
course in self-hypnosis for childbirth. Classes are divided into one
3.5-hour class per week. That's a total of 21 in-class hours of
childbirth and self-hypnosis preparation for your beautiful birth!
Course Materials:
Group Classes
Group classes are offered throughout the year and are hosted either in a mother/couple's home orvarious locations around the Houston metro area. The hosting family receives a discount on their
course fee, with the added benefit of not having to leave their home! For a class series to be confirmed a
minimum of three couples is required, with a maximum five couples. Please contact me for more
information and pricing. Please also let me know if you are interested in hosting a course.
Private Classes in Your Home
You choose the day and time that works best for you and your spouse and I'll come to your home! Please

Birth & Postpartum Doula Services
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a birth doula, my goal is to help you discover your options and resources and to support you
emotionally as you prepare for your birth. Every mother deserves to feel loved, cherished, and
completely supported as she brings new life into the world!

Birth Doula Services Include...
2 Prenatal Visits (minimum) -
During these visits we will discuss how your pregnancy is going, how you envision your birth,
information about the birth process and birth choices. I provide a copy of my personally created, 11
page Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond Resource Guide to each of my clients, as well as free access to my
lending library of books and videos on pregnancy, baby massage, birth, breastfeeding, parenting
and natural living. During our visits I am also happy to provide information about babywearing,
show samples of different slings and carriers, and to provide information and a demonstration on
cloth diapering, if you are interested.
The Birth -
I will be available to you 24/7 for the two weeks before and the week following your birth. As soon as
you are confident that your labor has begun I ask that you contact me. I will be with you, assisting
with comfort measures, emotional and information support, hypnosis cues (if applicable), still
and/or video photography (when possible), and breastfeeding support immediately following the
birth, if desired.
1 - 2 Postpartum Visits -
During this visit we will discuss how your birth went, any postpartum issues, breastfeeding
assistance, if desired, and overall how your new family is doing. I can also perform light housekeeping
upon request for an additional fee of $25/hr.
My fee for the above services is $750. There is a discounted rate for families who would like to combine
my Hypnobabies classes and doula services.
Understanding that we all find ourselves in tough financial situations now and then, I am open to
working out a payment plan that suites your budget. Please contact me to discuss this option.

Postpartum Doula Services Include...
As a Postpartum Doula, I am available to assist families immediately after birth, in the hospital, birth
center, or at home, and during the overnight hours as you work to find a new rhythm that every baby
requires, whether transitioning from a couple to a family of three, or a family of five to a family of six,
and beyond.
I see my postpartum role as an extra set of experienced helping hands, focusing on helping you learn or
re-learn baby soothing skills (specifically employing the techniques of Dr. Harvey Karp from The
Happiest Baby on the Block), parental encouragement, breastfeeding support, sibling attention, light
house keeping, meal preparation, and focusing on mothering the mother during this very special time
with her new baby. The specifics of how I can assist you and your family depend on your individual
needs and wishes, which we will discuss in a free, no-obligation initial meeting that I offer all families.
The fee for my postpartum services is $25 an hour.
To schedule your free introductory meeting, or to get more information, please contact me.
