    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.

      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!

      Some mamas like starting early and having all of the information as early as possible to practice, plan, and prepare as early as possible and some mamas like to have the information closer to birthing time. My classes range from women who are 15 weeks all the way to 35 weeks. My biggest ecommendation is to try and set it up so that you are ending the series before 38 weeks. I do find that mamas who start later wish they would have started sooner but it's better "late" than never.

“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.”

A Comprehensive Childbirth Series for a Natural Birthing Experience
Here at Anointed Births, one of our biggest goals is to lower the unnecessary intervention rates in Southern CA. As experienced doulas and birthing mothers, we developed this course with the intention of offering a comprehensive guide for women and their birthing companions as they embark on their journey in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
OUR MISSION IS TO…
Empower couples by equipping them with knowledge and support through each phase of this transformative process. We firmly believe in honoring a woman’s innate ability to birth naturally, respecting the divine design of the female body. By sharing evidence-based information, practical tools, spiritual encouragement, and our experiences as doulas, we aim to nurture confidence and autonomy in every woman as she prepares for childbirth and motherhood.
