Hypnobirthing Support Options
Calm, Confident, Birth Preparation
Birth isn’t something you “control.”
It’s something you prepare for - emotionally, physically, and through your nervous system.
Maybe you're excited to meet your baby… and also scared of labor.
Maybe you're worried you'll panic, lose control, struggle with pain, or become overwhelmed when things get intense. Birth preparation isn't only about knowing what might happen. It's about preparing yourself for how you'll respond when it does.
You Can Prepare Without Trying to Control the Outcome
You can have goals for your birth without needing your birth to go perfectly for you to feel successful.
The goal isn't to control every part of birth. It's to strengthen your ability to stay connected to yourself, listen to your body, work with your mind, and meet whatever unfolds.
Unmedicated, medicated, vaginal, cesarean, planned or unexpected… birth is birth. What matters is that you feel informed, supported, and connected to yourself throughout the experience.
How Hypnobirthing Helps
HypnoBirthing is a way of helping your nervous system feel safe and steady as you move toward birth. This preparation combines deep relaxation, breathwork, visualization, and subconscious conditioning to support a more grounded and regulated experience of pregnancy and birth.
This approach is supportive no matter how you plan to give birth; whether that’s unmedicated, medicated, or a cesarean birth.It’s designed for both first-time and experienced parents who want a more grounded, supported, and emotionally prepared birth experience.
Two Ways We Work Together:
GROUP HYPNOBIRTHING PROGRAM
6 Weeks | $700 | 90-Min Weekly Sessions
An online guided HypnoBirthing experience focused on nervous system regulation, hypnosis, and emotional preparation for birth.
This is not a traditional childbirth education class; rather structured experience designed to help you feel grounded, supported, and more confident in your body’s ability to move through birth.
When:
September Cohort — Starts September 16th
6 weekly online sessions | Wednesdays at 6:00 PM MT
Sessions are recorded in case you are unable to attend a session
New Cohorts will start seasonally
I recommend starting in your late second or early third trimester
Where:
Online - wherever you are, virtual, live on Google Meet.
What We’ll Build Together:
This isn’t about learning how to have a “perfect” birth.
It’s about preparing your mind, body, and nervous system so you can meet birth with more steadiness, trust, and confidence - whatever your birth ultimately looks like.
Feel more steady when things get intense.
Birth can be unpredictable. You’ll practice staying connected to yourself and grounded in your body, even when things feel intense or unexpected.
Keep anxiety from taking the driver’s seat.
You’ll learn to recognize fear, overthinking, and worst-case scenarios without automatically letting them decide how you respond.
Help your mind and body work together.
Through breath, relaxation, visualization, and hypnosis, you’ll practice creating more cooperation between your thoughts, your body, and your nervous system.
Build inner trust.
You’ll strengthen your ability to listen inward, make decisions, adapt, and trust yourself through whatever comes next.
Prepare alongside a community.
You’ll practice alongside a small group of other pregnant people who are navigating many of the same questions, fears, hopes, and unknowns. You’ll have space to share, learn from one another, and feel supported as you move toward birth together.
And throughout the program, you'll build three personalized tools:
Your Anchor:
A simple combination of breath, touch, and/or words that becomes your cue to come back to yourself when intensity rises.
Your Safe Place:
Create an internal place you can return to when you need grounding, comfort, or a moment of calm.
Your Inner Birth Team:
Connect with the people, qualities, and inner resources you want beside you during birth.
You'll develop these tools together throughout the six weeks, practicing and strengthening them so they become familiar and accessible when you need them.
You won't be preparing alone.
You'll have the experience of learning alongside a small group of other pregnant people who are also sharing questions, practicing together, and navigating many of the same fears, hopes, and unknowns.
The goal isn't to make you feel like you have birth figured out.
It's to help you trust yourself more deeply as you move toward it.

Feel steady when things feel intense.
We'll develop personalized ways to help you stay grounded and connected to yourself when fear, uncertainty, or intensity arise.

And throughout the program, you’ll build three personalized tools:
Your Anchor
We'll create an Anchor specifically suited to your nervous system, your preferences, and the situations you're anticipating around birth.
Your Safe Place
We'll develop a deeply personalized internal space you can use for grounding, relaxation, and returning to yourself.
Your Inner Birth Team
We'll explore the people, qualities, and inner resources that feel most supportive to you and build those into your birth preparation.
Hypno-Epidural
A personalized hypnosis-based pain management tool designed to help you work with physical discomfort and intensity throughout your birth journey; whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, using medication, or having a cesarean birth.
Partner Hypnosis Training
Your partner will also learn how to support you using hypnosis, including how to guide you through your personalized relaxation and pain-management techniques when you need them most.
These tools are developed and reinforced throughout your individual journey, with each session building on what you're experiencing and what you need next.
What’s Included:
9 private sessions
Customized hypnosis recordings
Personalized nervous system regulation tools
Tailored birth preparation and integration
Ongoing emotional and experiential support throughout pregnancy
Partner Session (Included)
Your partner is invited into one distinct “partner session” so you can prepare for birth together in a grounded, connected way.
In this session, your partner is guided in:
how to hypnotize you during labor/birth
how to support your nervous system during labor without overthinking or over-functioning
how to stay grounded when intensity rises
how to use your anchor system in real time (breath, touch, and cues)
what actually helps you feel safe and supported vs what increases stress
The focus is on calm presence, co-regulation, and clarity; so you both feel more prepared and connected moving into birth together.

What it’s like working with me.
“Working with Dana during my pregnancy helped me through my birth and postpartum experience more than I can even describe. I wanted my birth to be a beautiful empowering experience, but I was terrified of it, so I didn’t think that was possible. Her coaching and hypnosis completely shifted my mindset. I felt a calm, grounded confidence build in the weeks leading up to the birth. She helped me tap into a warrior part of myself who I truly felt was by my side during birth, even as my birth went very differently than I had planned. It ended up being the most peaceful experience, largely due to the tools Dana gave me. And now as a new mom, I utilize that warrior self every day, and I truly feel like I’m a better, happier mother because of it. Dana is intuitive, compassionate, and downright brilliant. She was born to do this work. I recommend her to all of my pregnant friends because I can’t imagine going through this experience without her.”

Dana is an incredible hypnotherapist. I worked with her during my pregnancy to both prepare for delivery, as well as, heal some persistent grief. It was the first time trying anything like this and Dana was so kind and educated me well on the science behind this type of therapy. We utilized many interventions within hypnotherapy; it was truly an incredible experience! I send all of my pregnant friends and just anyone feeling stuck in whatever life is throwing at them to Dana!

My Birth Story
Before birthing my son, my knowns around birth had been built from a story I heard my entire life… my own birth. My mother had an extremely rare complication when pregnant with my twin sister and I. We were 8 weeks premature and my mother was in a medically induced coma for two weeks. The idea that “we all almost didn’t make it” was reinforced so many times growing up that I was terrified to ever give birth before I even understood the concept.
As a pregnant person, others want to tell you their most horrifying “giving birth in the car” or “close call” stories. It’s EXTREMELY unhelpful and we are already carrying enough fears and stories about birth… thanks, but we don’t need more.
As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I knew I needed help rewriting my knowns about birth and help to make room for MY OWN birth story. My goal above all else was to feel calm, empowered and release what was never mine to hold. Hypnobirthing gave me just that!
I had a beautiful medicated birth at St. Luke in Denver on February 24th, 2022. Were there emotional ups and downs? You bet! Was I scared at times? Absolutely! But above all else, Hypnobirthing allowed me to feel calm through the storms of emotions, empowered me to realize that I could experience this birth any way I chose, and that no matter how this boy was brought into this world (medicated, natural, c-section), it would be birth!
