Beautiful Birth with a Doula!

Published by jacqui

Beautiful Birth with a Doula!

Jacqui was such a gift to us during the birth of our daughter!  She was a source of great support right from the first time we met with her.   She was honest and non judgmental – she took the time to meet our family and to understand what we hoped the delivery would be.  She kept in touch with me throughout the pregnancy and regularly checked in those last few weeks before the baby was due.   But, Jacqui’s gift was really evident during labor and delivery.  Jacqui was an ever present, strong, yet quiet source of support and strength during the process.  She knew when to offer words of encouragement.  She helped guide me through some of the hypnobirthing techniques we studied.  She knew when to offer comfort measures and when to stand back.  And, as if helping me through the process of natural child birth wasn’t enough –s he got some great first pictures of our baby!  We feel so fortunate that Jacqui was a part of our daughter’s birth.

Kundalini Prenatal Yoga

Published by jacqui

Kundalini Prenatal Yoga

The most AMAZING prenatal yoga class that I have ever been to!  Missy Dabilis is a wonderful yoga teacher as well as a fellow Doula friend of mine.  I was lucky enough to be invited by Missy to attend a class a few weeks ago and to facilitate a Birth by Hypnosis meditation at the end of  the class.  The support and camaraderie was beautiful to take part in.  This is definitely a class not to miss!

Experience birth with a Doula!

Published by jacqui

Experience birth with a Doula!

From fertility by hypnosis to being a doula, I find joy in helping women through the entire journey of becoming a parent. Read Melissa’s experience with me as her doula:

Jacqui was invaluable as a resource before the birth, essential as birth support during labor, and helpful with post-partum recovery. I can’t speak highly enough about how comfortable she made us feel as we adjusted to our new role as parents. She even went above the call of duty by capturing on film some key moments of our daughter’s first minutes that I missed during
the blur of delivery!

Over the phone hypnosis

Published by jacqui

Over the phone hypnosis

Not all of my clients have the luxury to come into my office; phone hypnosis is just as affective! If you cannot find a hypnotherapist you can trust in your area, we’re happy to help. Read Laura’s story below:

I am a firm believer of everything happens for a reason. When I was diagnosed with preeclampsia at 32 weeks and put on bed rest I began my search for a hypnotherapist.    I found Jacqui through a website that was referred from a friend that used hypnobirthing through her labor.  Up until this time I really had not heard much about hypnobirthing but being that I used meditation on a daily basis it was right up my alley.  The day I spoke to Jacqui I immediately felt like this would help me through these last couple of weeks of my pregnancy and through my labor.  Jacqui was amazing and worked with me over the phone since we were miles apart and I was on bed rest.  Using hypnobirthing during labor was so helpful and made my birth experience so beautiful.   The techniques that Jacqui taught me I continue to use now in every day life and will for the rest of my life, these tools are something that every person should acquire.  Thank you Jacqui for your knowledge and support, you are the best!!

Overcoming preeclampsia

Published by jacqui

Overcoming preeclampsia

The most wonderful part of hypnosis during conception and pregnancy is that it can help prepare you for the hurdles and the joys of becoming a mother! Read Pam’s story below:

I had every intention of having a fully natural hypnobirthing experience. Yet much to my surprise at 38 weeks I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and was on my way to the hospital to be induced. I was in shock- upset- irritated -that things were not going as I had so carefully planned. With my husbands help, I came to realize that it was this exact thing that hypnobirthing prepares you for- the unexpected! The skills that Jacqui taught us were invaluable. I was in labor for 48 hours (no meds-but pitocin)- then had an epidural, and a few hours later started pushing– that lasted for 6.5 hours, and finally after all that, had an emergency c-section. We used the techniques and relaxation methods from the moment we realized- this is IT we are having a baby. No matter how our baby arrived- being relaxed really helped us to be present  and in the moment at our son’s birth. From that day forward we have each used these techniques to center ourselves clearly in each moment we share with him.
Shane is a relaxed laid back baby- I believe that at least some of that comes from his father and I being relaxed as well- and that, in turn, comes from our experience with Jacqui.
