Imagine if you conquered and overcame each and every single one of your fears, worries, and doubts. Imagine if you felt comfortable and relaxed during your birthing experience.
Let’s turn these imaginations into reality.
Let’s work together to achieve YOUR best and ideal birth.
WHAT IS HYPNOBIRTHING?
the benefits
Hypnobirthing with Anointed Births is a comprehensive approach to preparing for birth that empowers you to feel calm, confident, and in control. Our classes teach you how to work with your body and baby for a smoother, more positive birth experience—whether you’re planning to give birth at home, in a hospital, or at a birth center. Throughout the series, you’ll learn practical tools like breathing techniques, deep relaxation, guided visualizations, hands-on comfort measures, and cultivating a strong mental fortitude, all designed to help you release tension and reduce discomfort. We also focus on cultivating the right mindset for birth and understanding how to navigate your options to avoid unnecessary interventions, so you can feel fully informed and supported every step of the way.
Check out the curriculum list below on what you can expect to learn in the series.

“Imagine if our culture told us that birth was one of the greatest things a woman might ever do. Imagine if the stories and images we were exposed to taught us that labor is an incredible and transformational experience, a rite of passage into motherhood.”

If you are looking at the class schedule and notice that a date might conflict with your calendar, please email me. There is a solution to everything!
