Birth Professionals

Are you a nurse, doctor, midwife, doula, or other birth professional interested in learning how to best support Hypnobabies students? I prefer to refer my students to providers who know how to best support my Hypnobabies students. In fact, when students sign up for my classes, I send them a list of hypno-friendly providers. Learning more about Hypnobabies via one or more of the options below will get you on that list!

Request a Free Info Packet

I have an informational booklet about hypnosis for childbirth and Hypnobabies in particular that I would be happy to send to you. Please contact me to order your free informational booklet today.

Schedule a Free In Service

I would love the opportunity to explain Hypnobabies and how you can best support my Hypnobabies students. Please contact me to set up an in service for your midwifery or physician practice, hospital labor and delivery unit, or birth professionals group.

Attend a Hypno-Doula Training

Do you attend births? Do you want to make your job easier? Encourage your clients to take Hypnobabies! It makes your job much easier when moms really know how to relax. Hypnosis is a very powerful tool that is becoming quite popular with today's birthing mothers. Attend a Hypno-Doula Training so that you will have specialized knowledge in supporting these unique clients.

Please view the Hypno-Doula Training Schedule Below for upcoming dates. Tuition includes instruction as well as a hypno-doula notebook ($50 value). Please contact me to let me know that you are interested in attending a training. Lunch will be served. Cost: $75 per doula/attendee. I would be thrilled to give your business cards and brochures to my students after you attend a Hypno-Doula Training as well as list you on my Doula page! I do ask for a reciprocal link if you have a website of your own.

Attend a 6-week Hypnobabies Class Series

I welcome observers in my Hypnobabies classes. You will get to learn exactly what my Hypnobabies students are taught. I strongly encourage doulas who are supporting Hypnobabies students to attend class with their clients. Observers of a class series will not be able to receive any of the Hypnobabies materials. If you would like a hypno-doula notebook you may purchase one through the Hypnobabies Network or you will receive one if you attend a hypno-doula training. Please contact me to let me know that you are interested in observing a class series.
