HypnoBirthing® with Wind & Water
Experience an Empowering Birth!
Prepare your mind to trust your body. Your birthing experience can be rewarding, gentle, calm, joyful, AND powerful (even healing!). HypnoBirthing® guides families in their preparation for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual elements of labor, birth, and postpartum/ parenting.
What is HypnoBirthing®?
The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes:
special breathing techniques
deep relaxation
visualization
meditative practice
affirmations
an in-depth exploration of the physiology of labor & birth
There are so many choices and decisions to make for your birthing experience. You have choices in selecting your support team; you have choices in selecting the environment in which you’ll bring your baby into the world. And one more really important choice- the childbirth education classes you’ll choose to prepare for the birth of your baby!

Why HypnoBirthing® & Why Jen?
"HypnoBirthing® provided me with invaluable information about our birthing bodies, the natural physiology of birth, and numerous coping strategies to work with the surges. My birth partner and I learned how to advocate for our needs and birth preferences. We learned how to release our fears prior to birthing. I was genuinely excited to experience birth and all the emotions and bodily feelings associated with it." - Cassie, Paul, & Luciano

"Jen is also an unparalleled educator. We took part in her HypnoBirthing® course, and her passion for this work shows in how much time is spent making each family feel prepared and knowledgeable. What she taught us made our unmedicated birth possible, and we were ready to accept any changes or curveballs that this unknowable event would throw our way. "- Cynthia, Ryan, & Nina

“In addition to working with Jen as our doula, we also took her HypnoBirthing® course, which gave us the tools we needed to face our birth head on without fear. The course spoke to my mind and my spirit in equal parts, giving me the practical tools I needed while also facilitating a spiritual shift within me that I am still experiencing, and will probably feel for the rest of my life. When it came time for our birth we were so prepared and filled with joy." - Tara, Eric, & Ezra
“We just adored working with Jen. She was such a huge part of our pregnancy & birth journey, and we loved every part of it. It really allowed us to feel in control and not scared of the process which was so important to our family. We would recommend HypnoBirthing®, and Jen as an educator, to anybody who is pregnant and wanting to approach their labor in a way that made them feel empowered.”

Birther & Birth Companion
"In order to get closer to the origins and true power of birth, you'll need to train your mind to see past the narratives designed to limit your power. HypnoBirthing® helped us to rediscover what was always inside of us: the ability to be the ones in charge of this incredible act of life."
— Alex, Birth Companion
