Read what one mama had to say about her Hypnobabies birth experience:

… She is also a hypnobabies instructor which was a HUGE plus for us as we had completed the hypnobabies courses. If it hadn’t been for her completing those courses as an instructor and hypnodoula I don’t know how my labor and birth would have ended up, I really used her for that! She was able to calm and relax me so that I felt absolutely no pain. You also have to know that I was extremely stubborn during the hypnobabies course.. for some reason I thought that I wasn’t able to be hypnotised, that I didn’t like the tracks, and that it was definitely NOT going to work on me. Angela and I find this humorous now, because not only did it work, but it worked well!

Allow me to add a note of clarity here, it was my client’s willingness to do the work. She practiced her Hypnobabies homeplay daily, even though she sometimes questioned it. I reminded her to stay steady with it and continue doing her inner work. Hypnobabies is about choosing to be hypnotized. It is self-hypnosis, and one must be open and willing to have the experience.
