My love of Hypnobabies Hypno-birthing came when I was asked to be a doula by a friend of mine, who was already practiced in “Hypno-birthing” with her previous child. I had not yet had my own child and she knew I wasn’t familiar with Hypnobabies at that time. However, she wanted me there because of my ability to connect and create a calm and consistent atmosphere which she had experienced many times in my yoga classes, and asked that I bring those same elements to her in her birthing process. I took this request very seriously and delved fully into educating myself into all that goes into supporting a Hypnobabies-mom. The opportunity to be with my friend through her birth not only came very natural, but the entire journey was pleasant and smooth. At the time, I didn’t realize this experience would effect my entire birthing philosophy, but I learned so much that it ultimately lead me to follow my own Hypno-birthing journey with my son.
I also got the amazing opportunity to support my best friend with the birth of her son, although the birth wasn’t a Hypnobabies birth, there was a moment she felt her process wasn’t going as she wanted, so I did something to make her laugh, and as my dear friend says, she ended up “laughing her baby out.”
I knew I was called to this work when another friend of mine recently called me on the phone asking for some support during her early stages of labor (not a Hypnobabies-mom), and within moments of talking she expressed how much I had helped calm her and she was content and ready. She suggested I become a doula and I knew my next step.
I am honored to be Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula.
