Hypnobirthing classes and Hypnosis to help with fertility:

Wait, what? Is this some "woo-woo" stuff?

After becoming a Certified Hypnotherapist and seeing how effective hypnosis is for pain management, anxiety and other issues, I realized how useful hypnosis would be during pregnancy and childbirth, so I trained to be a Certified Hypnobirthing Specialist.

Hypnosis has been around for years, and science has tested its effectiveness in many ways and proved its way more than "woo woo". There are studies showing hypnosis is effective for pain management even when other pain relief methods fail. Science has also demonstrated how the brain releases different hormones when someone is in fight or flight mode versus when they are calm and relaxed.

When the mind and body work in harmony, fear and anxiety practically disappear. The information and tools offered my hypnobirthing course, can help you AND your birth partner feel calm, confident and in control during your pregnancy, childbirth and beyond.

Is the hypnobirthing course only about hypnosis? Is it just for natural births?

Obviously any course with "hypno" in the title includes meditations and hypnosis techniques you can use during any type of birth situation, including C-Sections, as well as in your day to day life.

We also teach you how to work WITH your body - instead of against it - during childbirth. You'll learn how to tap in to the mind-body connection and reduce fear and anxiety which helps minimize pain.

We also help your birth partner become part of the experience with suggestions and tools they can use to be supportive and calm as you both negotiate the birth process together.

What is included?

The course includes 4, two and half hour interactive sessions for you and your birth partner, a printable guide and access to Hypnobirthing guided meditation recordings.

Classes can be done individually, or in group. If you are in the Asheville, NC area we can meet in person or via Zoom, and Zoom is perfect for anyone who can't attend in person.

How can hypnosis help with fertility?

The mind and body are intricately intertwined. Whether the fertility issue can be pinpointed to physical causes or remains undefined (idiopathic), hypnosis can help the mind and body get on the same page.

Thoughts and beliefs, especially those rooted in past traumas, about whether it's safe to be a child (or a parent), fears about pregnancy, childbirth or parenting and more can affect the brain. If the brain is in fight/flight mode, it can contribute to the body becoming inhospitable for conception and/or maintenance of a pregnancy.

Hypnosis to heal past traumas, change unhelpful belief systems, reduce anxiety and enhance peace and confidence can be an incredible addition on your journey to parenthood.

What is Life Coaching?

What the difference is between counseling and life coaching?

The main difference is that counseling is geared towards understanding and resolving the past, and coaching is focused on the present and the future.

Unlike many other life coaches, I am trained and have a degree as a Mental Health Counselor; however, I am not currently licensed as one (a lot of hoops to jump through after so many years between getting my degree and finally deciding to use it). I DO use my training as a Mental Health Counselor to inform my practice as a coach.

If we determine you have an issue that would be better served by a mental health professional, I will suggest you find a licensed practitioner in your local area and assist as needed.

How long does it take?

Ultimately that is up to you! I believe that like a caterpillar, we all have the DNA of our own transformation inside of us. Your time in the cocoon is determined by you. I have individual sessions and three-month package discounts. We can discuss what is right for your during your free fifteen minute consultation.

How does it work?

My job as your coach is to help YOU figure out what is best for you, not to tell you what I think is best for you. You are the expert on you, I am the expert on helping you see the patterns you can’t see on your own, connect the dots, and create the life you want. In me, you will always find a safe, non-judgmental sounding board. Currently all sessions are done virtually via Zoom, or phone.
