Here’s what some of our students are saying!
Stephanie offers an excellent Hypnobabies childbirth class. Even though I had already given birth to two children, I learned a lot ! Her course is 6 weeks long, with a 3-hour class once per week. This allows plenty of home study/practice time in between. All the materials are included in the class. In addition to learning skills which will make childbirth easier, at the end of each class she does a relaxing hypnosis, so I always leave feeling refreshed. As an added bonus, she even provides healthy snacks! While I only went for HypnoBabies classes, Stephanie also works as a doula and offers placenta encapsulation services. If you’re not already familiar with these two services and you are pregnant, do some research. I had a doula present for my second child and that made a huge difference in my birthing experience. I wish I would’ve known all the benefits of placenta encapsulation back then too.
We attended Hypnobabies Monday three hour childbirth classes and Stephanie did a great job. We were skeptical at first about how the classes would help us but it proved to be fun, very educational and enjoyable…Stephanie was always upbeat and well informed about all aspects of birth. We really appreciated that the course did not force us to think a certain way or adopt certain philosophies but instead provided us with tons of great information about pregnancy and about birth such that we could feel confident forming our own opinions and making our own decisions (along with our doctor) for birth. I finished the course feeling more confident about the miracle of pregnancy and my body’s ability to achieve a wonderful birth. I’m very appreciative to Stephanie for her commitment to her students and passion for the material (and also to my husband for attending every class with me!). I would definitely recommend this course and all of the doulas I’ve met through this course (Stephanie and Jenny).
Stephanie is an excellent Doula. She is very knowledgeable in evidence based practice and shared her personal experiences with us as well. Her knowledge and relationships with providers helped me prepare for the birth experience I wanted and feel empowered to have it. Stephanie made labor and delivery a smooth transition for my partner and I and she provided amazing support throughout as well as after. She is caring, has an excellent personality and I feel like she gets along well with everyone which put me as much at ease as possible during labor and delivery. I feel my birth experience and the support my partner provided would not have been the experience I wanted without Stephanie.
Not sure which childbirth class (or classes) to choose?
Hypnobabies
Hypnobabies Atlanta is a method of preparing for childbirth in a way that uses hypnotic techniques, guided imagery and visualization to train the inner mind to accept all of the positive and none of the negative. We teach you how to eliminate the fear-tension-pain cycle from the birthing experience as well as MANY other wonderful techniques. This is totally different from any other childbirth education class that is available today!
Easy Childbirth Classes
Our Easy Childbirth Preparation weekend childbirth class is unique in that we teach the best of childbirth preparation, and use the incredible power of your own mind!
