What If….you could take away all of the fear of labor? We have been told labor is scary for so long, we forget that there is another way.

As mother’s and doulas, Lauren and Chelsea have always been rooted in the belief that pregnancy, labor and birth are transformative, empowering and beautiful.

Their goal in teaching this class is to send you into your birth with a voice along with the knowledge and tools to be heard in your birthing space.

HypnoBirthing®

HypnoBirthing® is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentility, calm and joy. When a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally, and spiritually, she can experience that sort of joy, birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable, and often, even pain-free, manner. Through a well-though-out program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, special breathing techniques, visualization, affirmations, and education, HypnoBirthing® returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby in safety and with ease.

“My husband and I took the hypnobirthing class with Chelsea and Lauren during the second trimester of our first child on the recommendation of our midwife. As first time parents, we took as many classes as we could fit in our schedule on all different baby topics and the class with Chelsea and Lauren was by far the best class we took. We learned so much and gained so much confidence from this class about pregnancy and labor. Chelsea and Lauren are so kind, loving, and knowledgeable. Even after our incredible experience in their class they continued to stay in contact with us, giving us guidance when our baby was breech and sending congratulations when she finally turned! The greatest gift they gave us though was teaching my husband and I how to be a team through pregnancy and labor. My husband was the best birthing partner. Together with all we learned in the hypnobirthing class we were able to work through early labor at home and then calmly meet the unexpected turns the birth of our baby took. I can’t recommend Chelsea, Lauren and the Om Mamas Doulas team enough.” - Gabriela
