"I was pregnant for #5, who also would be my first VBAC. I was convinced I had to go "natural" for a successful VBAC. Until this point I have had epidurals with 3 and than an emergency c-section for #4. A friend told me about Hypnobabies, I was willing to look into this because I knew I wanted something on my side to help with the birthing. All my pregnancy I researched, and believed this is what i need to do. So I joined Karla B's class. I felt I would learn better with other people and an instructor to help. The class was amazing, it opened my eyes to the real birthing. The kind where you can decide and do what you want and feel is right. Not the doctor telling you what to do. When my birthing time came, things did not go as I planned. I went ten days over and had to be induced. But I was relaxed and I knew Ivory would come at the perfect time. My husband was not able to make the classes but nonetheless he was an awesome support in our birthing time. I also used essential oils to help keep the calmness in our room. When Ivory came, I had a difficult time holding my hypnosis but between my husband, midwife and nurse we did it and it was amazing! Looking back on all my 5 births, this hypnobaby birth is by far my favorite. I will do it again. I recommend this to any couple willing to try it. It is very empowering :)"

"I am a family physician with HealthEast and we are a HypnoBabies family.
I became interested in HypnoBabies when one of the obstetrics nurses that I work with suggested it. She said that moms who use HypnoBabies have some of the best births she sees. A couple of other OB nurses agreed with her. Then one of my partners, also a family physician at HealthEast, told me that she had used the related course, Hypnobirthing, and strongly recommended it.
When I looked into HypnoBabies and was concerned about the time commitment. But I decided to go ahead with it because I wanted to expand my knowledge as an OB provider and I wanted to have hypnosis as a tool for my own birth.
Now, my husband and I believe that HypnoBabies was more valuable than we had hoped when we signed up for it. HypnoBabies helped us have an easy, uncomplicated birth, as we had hoped. What we didn't know to expect beforehand was that it would also help us relax during our pregnancy, work together as a team, and that it would be useful for anxiety and pain during AND after pregnancy.
I would definitely use HypnoBabies again and would recommend HypnoBabies to other expectant families. It is worth the time commitment." -Laurel

"I first learned of Hypnobabies when my midwife recommended it as one of several birth preparation courses. The time commitment was intimidating but my husband and I decided to give it a try in the hopes that it would help us to have the positive, peaceful birthing experience we were hoping for. I am so glad we did and can't imagine going through my son's birthing without the tools I learned.
Anne was so knowledgeable and formatted the classes in a way that made them both fun and interesting. We looked forward to each class and our "home play" tasks each week. By the time my son's birthing day arrived, I felt confident and ready. It was the most intense, challenging, beautiful day of my life. I am so grateful to Anne and the Hypnobabies program for giving me the tools to have such a wonderful experience.
I look forward to using Hypnobabies again and would highly recommend it to any expectant families!"

"I knew I wanted to have a natural birth. I also knew as a woman that I was fully capable of doing just that. However, I wanted to have a little extra something to bring to the table. Hypnobabies was just that. My husband and I learned so many incredibly helpful tools. By the time my son’s birthing time came I was so confidant, prepared, and ready. It was truly the most amazing, beautiful, and empowering thing I have ever been through. I look forward to having another baby and taking the Hypnobabies course again!"-Audrey
"I was so thankful to be a part of Anne's Hypnobabies class! The information presented was just what we needed and class discussions really helped us understand what to expect in pregnancy and labor. My absolute favorite part of class was the labor rehearsal--it made it easy to remember what to do when I actually went into labor! Hypnobabies made my labor much easier, calmer and more comfortable. I highly recommend it."
