My Hypnobabies Birth Story

As a first-time mom, when I first found out I was pregnant, my very first thought was: How am I going to get this baby out?

What should have been joyful suddenly felt overwhelming, and I slipped into a brief depression filled with self-doubt, something we don’t talk about enough, especially for new parents.

Through yoga, community, and discovering Hypnobabies, I found the tools to replace fear with calm confidence. My goal was to stay home as long as possible, and with my tracks and techniques, I did just that for 16 hours, feeling supported, safe, and connected to my baby every step of the way.

At the hospital, my Hypnobabies practice and partner’s support anchored me. From advocating for my birth plan to using hypnosis cues during pushing, I felt calm, in control, and deeply empowered.

On December 3rd, 2023, my daughter Luciana was born.
