Birth & Beyond Services
Why use Hypnosis and yoga to enhance your birth?
Hypnosis and Yoga can be used to enhance all parts of the pre and post natal journey. My mission is to improve the birthing experiences for women and babies by providing education that contributes to better birth outcomes and empowers you on your unique birthing journey. In addition, I believe its fundamental to include your birthing partner in the birth and recovery processes.
Hypnosis for Fertility
Do you know that stress can reduce your chances for conception?
When we experience stress, our bodies produce the stress hormone, Cortisol, which can inhibit the implantation of a fertilized ovum, delay ovulation and reduce the number and motility of sperm. Your daily stress levels may be hurting your ability to conceive the child you desire.
Hypnosis for Fertility teaches you to release unconscious blocks to conception and teach your mind and body to create a fertile, hospitable climate for your baby. If you’ve faced fertility challenges, it would be my privilege hear your story so far, and talk about how hypnotherapy can bring you closer to your dream of conceiving and birthing a child.
Research shows that using a mind-body program, like hypnosis, when undergoing IVF can double the success rate of conceiving!* Hypnosis is also very successful when a couple is naturally trying to conceive without medical procedures.
According to research, 42% of women became pregnant within six months after learning mind-body techniques, such as Hypnosis**
This course can be used as a standalone program for those wishing to conceive naturally or it can be used in conjunction with medical fertility treatments.
This program consists of 5 sessions for you and your partner to help boost your fertility through deep relaxation techniques and hypnosis to release stress and reprogram your mind and body to prepare for a successful pregnancy.

Prenatal Yoga
I believe Prenatal Yoga and HypnoBirthing® give women the support they need to fully experience and enjoy their pregnancy, labor and birth. After witnessing the powerful effects of this combination on myself and the mothers I've had the honor to support, I bring my knowledge into all facets of my classes.
Prenatal Yoga classes provides an opportunity to deepen your awareness of your body and ease many pregnancy related discomforts. Regular practice has been shown to increase stamina for active birthing. My unique prenatal yoga classes combine strengthening, stretching, toning, breath work, visualization, affirmations and relaxation techniques to create inner calm and focus while teaching you tools to cope with the sensations of labor and empowering you in preparation for birth. I also incorporate childbirth education and hypnosis techniques to offer you a chance to learn which coping skills you may gravitate toward for labor. Every class provides an opportunity for sharing and discussion (circle time) with the group.
I am a certified Yoga teacher and Prenatal and Postnatal instructor (ERYT- 500), educator, and mentor.

HypnoBirthing®
Welcome to the most amazing child birthing method out there! I gave birth to my daughter Emma 16 years ago using the HypnoBirthing® holistic, spiritual and evidence-based practices and had the most powerful and transformative experience in my life. I have been teaching this method ever since. My mission is to improve the birthing experiences of women and babies by providing education that contributes to better birth outcomes and empowers you on your unique birthing journey. I feel very blessed that my work as a HypnoBirthing® facilitator has touched so many couples and babies' lives throughout the years as I'm consistently striving to make a bigger difference in the birthing world. I would be honored to be chosen to be part of your birthing journey.

Pregnant women and their birthing partners wishing to prepare body and mind for an easy birth

Postnatal Yoga
Postnatal yoga is unique and deserves its own dedicated time as it addresses the time period known as the “fourth trimester”, or postpartum period. This is often a challenging but also very magical time for women. In addition to welcoming a beautiful new baby into the family, it also comes with tremendous change and demands that are often overwhelming for many moms.
The first weeks of parenthood may feel overwhelming as you adjust to your new life and get reacquainted with your non-pregnant body. In postnatal yoga, my classes will support and address both the physical and emotional challenges that come with this early stage of parenthood. This class is for moms 4 weeks to 6 months postpartum.
Each class works to restrengthen areas that may have weakened during pregnancy and release tension in areas that feel tight, burdened and stressed (including your mind)!
