HypnoBirthing & Doula Support

Serving the greater Madison area

Our Philosophy

HypnoBirthing® is based on the belief that when properly prepared for birth – physically, mentally, and emotionally – and fully relaxed, the birthing experience can be joyful, often faster, and with less discomfort. This childbirth education method – using education, evidence-based information, breathing, relaxation, visualization, self-hypnosis, and affirmations – isn’t just for unmediated birth, it’s actually quite perfect for all birth, including special circumstances. With HypnoBirthing, families use their skills to deeply relax to the power, passion, and pleasure of pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Words From Our Community

“I wanted to share how much we still carry with us from our HypnoBirthing classes. In particular, I often hear your voice reminding us to ask questions if we’re ever uncomfortable about something and to advocate for him and ourselves! He’s a super chill, awesome kid, which we attribute, at least in part to all the relaxation practice before he was born.”

“I am a nerd and had read about childbirth and pregnancy ad nauseam, but the hypnobirthing class provides something that can't be learned via reading or video. It provided me with tools that I used beyond childbirth. Hypnobirthing techniques helped me with my insomnia and they were even useful in preventing me from vomiting in my first and second trimesters. I was able focus in a stressful, medically complex birth that involved pre-ecclampsia. I began the class weary of attempting an unmedicated birth. I learned about the strength of my mind with the exercises she taught my husband and I. I can't recommend this class enough!"

“I cannot begin to say enough about Maria and hypnobirthing! My husband and I took her class for our second baby and the experience was amazing! Not only is she a great educator; calm, informative, and helpful - but the practices and education led to an amazing birth experience! It is the number one thing I would recommend for anyone about to welcome a baby to the world. Not only is it useful information for actually giving birth (no matter what kind of birth you are hoping for), but also helpful techniques to know before and after having the baby (calming techniques are a big help with a toddler!) Thanks to hypnobirthing I had an 11lb baby, with no meds, and stayed incredibly calm and peaceful the entire time! (And I'm a type 1 diabetic to boot!) I would put more stars if I could!"

“The HypnoBirthing worked like a charm. You couldn't even tell she was working until she started breathing the baby down, which only took three surges. Start to finish, the process lasted about 2 hours. Thanks for all your help!"

“My first child's appearance seemed so abrupt but with HypnoBirthing, because I had been preparing for the birth throughout the whole pregnancy, in some ways it was a nonevent. One just naturally flowed into the other just as nature intended.”
