Happy Families

Over the course of our HypnoBirthing® class with Barb, she thoroughly explained the physiology of pregnancy and childbirth in a way that relieved fear and instilled confidence that we could achieve an epidural free birth. One of our favorite aspects of the course was how involved it allows the birth partner to be. By the end, my husband knew more about childbirth than many of the women I know! Hypnobirthing takes you out of your comfort zone in order to help you find a new “relaxed zone” that helps you to manage the many twists and turns of labor. Barb is an amazing guide on the journey to that zone!

“Barb was incredibly helpful for me as I prepared for labor. Her affirmations helped me stay positive through the negative chatter in my head when my labor was moving slower than expected. Ultimately we were able to have an incredible and empowering birth that set the tone for the weeks to come.”

Giving birth to your child is one of the most important events in your life. Our HypnoBirthing® class with Barb gave us the tools and knowledge to be confident, so that no matter how labor unfolded we could remain calm and positive throughout the birthing process. Working with Barb was the best decision we made in the birth of our son. Giving birth to him was an absolutely incredible experience. If you want to have the best birthing experience possible, we highly recommend Barb’s classes!

We attended Barb‘s Hypnobirthing class before the arrival of our first son. Her kindness, compassion, and positivity helped us feel confident and empowered as we prepared for labor and delivery. Though our birth did not go the way we expected, that was something Barb prepared us for. We used the skills we practiced throughout our labor and even after as we transitioned to our new life at home. We recommend Barb's course to any family considering Hypnobirthing.

“My body is amazing!!!” Quote following birth of baby boy Walter by his mother: JoJo Gleason 10/2020

We often think of the day we had Grayson and think of your class. We just loved our birthing experience and thanks so much for helping us create such a special day! I get a little teary eyed just thinking about how magical that day was! Natalie Shea 3/2021

I grew up in Cambodia and moved too BZN eight years ago. We recently started family and have our baby boy Clyde! It was overwhelming hearing about how to give birth, and it made me doubt myself. I spoke with my mother and grandma in Cambodia on the phone. My mother has three children and they all delivered naturally. I told her that we can get medication to give birth in U.S. She doesn't understand, because that doesn't exist where she comes from. She told me don't think too much, “our body knows what to do.” I talked with my grandma too. About her, she has six boys, and she gave birth naturally. An evening before I gave birth, she called me and said "I just want to catch you before you give birth, I want to share with you the important part of giving birth since this is your first time. During contraction, you just breath and don't push until you have the urge to push, and in between the contraction just relax. Everything my mother and grandma told me about is the same as what I learned in HypnoBirthing class. We are so grateful to Barb and HypnoBirthing family for teaching and reminding us that giving birth is natural. Because of you all, I was be able to breathe my baby down and out! Thank you for being a part of our family. Sunflower & Tyler & Clyde 01/2022

Barb’s Hypnobirthing course prepared both my husband and I to have a wonderful birthing experience. Before taking the course, I was fearful of birth and didn’t know what to expect as this was my first pregnancy. Each week, Barb walked us through our fears and provided our group with invaluable tools in order to help us overcome those fears as well as give us the ability to manifest the birthing experience we envisioned. Come my birthing day, I had the exact experience that I had visualized - it was beautiful, safe, empowering, and calm. I can’t thank Barb enough for sharing her knowledge, calm energy, and love with her students! I would recommend every expecting mother take Barb’s course! Hanna and Andy 11/2022

Barbara is such a treasure and an absolute wealth of knowledge. This class was extremely useful for both myself and my husband as first time expecting parents. I feel so much more prepared, informed and empowered for my birth experience after taking Barb's class. The book, and workbook are something I will revisit many times before my upcoming due date! I will recommend this class to all of my friends, and I recommend to you and your partner as well. Thanks for the phenomenal experience Barb! 5/2023 Brittany and Colter

I cannot praise Barb enough! Barb was a labor and delivery nurse for 40+ years and her experience and wisdom shows. My husband and I hoped for a natural hospital birth and Barb was able to set the stage for us while answering and anticipating what to expect of western medical practices with a natural birthing approach.
Studying Hypno Birthing with my husband proved to be so essential for our pregnancy. With the guidance of Barb, this course gave us a better understanding of what to expect in labor, debunked some concerns, instilled confidence, and empowered our relationship. I’m so grateful for our time together. I know you’ll finish the course with Barb feeling empowered and excited for a gentle birthing experience too! We can’t thank you enough Barb!

Barb was amazing! My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed the class. She was very good at explaining everything and making us more comfortable, confident and ready for our upcoming birth. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about doing a class!!! Maria and Zach 3/24
