My Story

I discovered Marie Mongan's HypnoBirthing book in my midwife’s waiting room. 
I borrowed it, read it, and found that it's wisdom spoke to me, deeply. 
 I had developed a significant fear of childbirth over my lifetime.
The stories I received from people in my life and the media weren't positive.
Due to these stories, I decided never to have a child as a young adult. I was really scared.
I didn't have alternative stories or wisdom available to me before reading Marie Mongan's book.

Practicing HypnoBirthing changed everything for me. 

I practiced the Mongan Method for several months of my pregnancy.
I shifted my thoughts and beliefs regarding what my body was capable of.
I learned that our bodies have evolved the ability and inner knowledge 
to carry and bear children with power and grace. ​ 

The confidence and knowledge I gained from HypnoBirthing carried me through 
my pregnancy and unique birth story. My result was my beautiful baby!
I held a newfound sense of personal agency and enthusiasm 
while simultaneously being relaxed and immersed in peace.

Over the next few years, I lent the book to friends who were expecting, 
and I began spreading my enthusiasm for HypnoBirthing. 

I believe we have the power to change our birthing stories.
SO...
I enrolled in the training program, and I became a Certified HypnoBirthing Educator
This training built upon my Cultural Anthropology degree, where I had studied cultural traditions of childbirth around the world, and my Master’s degree in Environment and Sustainability. 
 HypnoBirthing aligns well with my commitment to living a more sustainable lifestyle. 
HypnoBirthing education is for all mothers and babies, and every birthday!  
 

The Mongan Method, developed by Maria Mongan over 30 years ago, 
has grown to international prominence.
Moms and babies are experiencing births that are powerful, intentional and glorious.

I teach the HypnoBirthing International Gold Seal Certified* pre-natal class 
in 5 sessions, 2.5 hours each.
These classes teach the expecting person and a companion (if they so choose): 
1. What HypnoBirthing is and is not.
2. To develop a birth plan 
2. Deep relaxation techniques
3. The wisdom of their body
4. How to empower themselves.

I know HypnoBirthing radically changed my birthing expectations and experiences.
HypnoBirthing can work for you, too.
I would be honoured to teach you how.
