Pregnancy and Birth Coaching
Support for a peaceful birth experience
Birth is one of life's most transformative experiences. We can't control every part of birth, but we can prepare our minds, bodies, and nervous systems to meet it with confidence and trust.
My Pregnancy & Birth Coaching sessions help you release fear, reconnect with your intuition, and prepare emotionally for birth through trauma-informed coaching and birth hypnosis. Whether you're planning a home birth, birth center birth, or hospital birth, these sessions offer compassionate support as you prepare for this transition.
Birth Hypnosis for a Peaceful Birth
Birth hypnosis uses guided relaxation, visualization, breathing, and focused attention to help calm the nervous system before and during birth. It's less about controlling birth and more about cultivating enough safety and trust that your body can do what it's designed to do.
In our sessions, we’ll focus on:
Reducing fear and anxiety around birth
Practicing relaxation techniques for pregnancy and birth
Building confidence in your body's ability to birth
Preparing mentally for contractions and labor sensations
Creating personalized affirmations and visualization practices
Equipping your birth partner with tools to support you
Clearing any prior birth experiences that may be causing fear
Many women find birth calmer and more manageable after learning hypnosis, and some even experience little to no pain. I’m one of those women who did have a pain free birth. Pain-free birth is possible for some, but it's never guaranteed because every birth is different. Our goal isn't a specific outcome, instead it's helping you feel grounded and supported through whatever your birth looks like.
Letting Go of Fear-Based Beliefs
Most of us grew up hearing horror stories about birth, long before we ever experienced it. We'll explore those beliefs together, with curiosity rather than judgment, and replace them with a better understanding of birth physiology, nervous system regulation, and what your body is actually capable of.
This work is about preparing your mind and approaching birth with confidence instead of fear.
Trusting Your Body and Your Intuition
You're the expert on your own body. Your providers bring medical expertise, but you bring your values, instincts, and lived experience. These sessions help you reconnect with that inner wisdom so you can make informed decisions and advocate for the birth that feels right for you and your family.

Important Disclaimer
Pregnancy & Birth Coaching is a coaching and educational service supporting emotional preparation, nervous system regulation, and confidence during pregnancy and birth. It is not psychotherapy, mental health treatment, childbirth education, medical care, or midwifery care.
While I draw on trauma-informed principles and birth hypnosis techniques, these sessions are for personal growth and preparation, not treatment. Nothing discussed constitutes medical advice — decisions about your pregnancy, labor, birth, medications, interventions, or care should always be made with your physician, midwife, or other qualified provider.
My role is to help you build the trust, confidence, and tools to make the decisions that feel right for you and your family, in partnership with your healthcare team.
