I usually teach my Hypnobabies Classes in St. Paul, but all classes will be on Zoom until further notice.

Instructor-led Hypnobabies classes are 6 weeks long, 3.5 hours per class. See below for a class outline and more information about the course. All course materials and hypnosis tracks are included in your course fee. Classes are $395 and partners are encouraged to attend class with their pregnant person. I am open to flexible payment plans and can sometimes slide the course fee if necessary. Reach out with questions!


What is Hypnobabies?

​Hypnobabies is a very successful 6 week, 3.5-hours per week, complete childbirth education course that was adapted with permission from Master Hypnotherapist Gerald Kein’s “Painless Childbirth Program” techniques rather than using simple relaxation, breathing or guided imagery. This allows our students to enjoy “eyes-open childbirth hypnosis”, easily remaining deeply in hypnosis while walking, talking and changing positions; being as mobile as they would like to be during childbirth. Hypnobabies is well-known for helping people to create much shorter, easier and more comfortable labors, making childbirth the joyful experience it was meant to be.Expectant families use our Hypnobabies Workbook, audio tracks and hypnosis scripts to re-train their subconscious minds that contractions in labor will be perceived by their body as pressure or a squeezing-type sensations, and/or pushing, pulling and normal baby movement sensations. With the use of real, medical-grade hypnosis and the type of hypnotic compounding (repetition) that our Hypnobabies students learn, practice and use during labor, normal birthing sensations can easily be transformed into pleasurable ones. Our students are also fully in tune with their babies during the birthing process, and as aware of everything around them as they’d like to be, easily able to communicate with their support team, and completely in charge of their own birth experience.

Hypnobabies uses the same medical hypnosis techniques that people employ when preparing for surgery without any drugs, which is called hypno-anesthesia. Our classes also teach Hypnobabies Birth Partners how to fully support birthing people, and Hypnobabies is also used very successfully by single parents. A willing Birth Partner is a bonus!

Including a very comprehensive childbirth education curriculum also ensures that our Hypno-students remain deeply committed to their Hypnobabies training, since they need not go anywhere else for childbirth education. Other natural childbirth classes are wonderful, but many teach “pain-coping”, and “pain-management”, which is directly in opposition to our Hypnobabies suggestions that encourage an easier, more comfortable, joyful childbirth.
