Northern Virginia Hypnobabies Class and Doula with Expecting the

Hypno Birthing classes with Jenny (certified hypnobabies instructor) have been amazing! I’ve learned so much, and can’t wait to implement all we have learned on the big day. We’re considering her as our doula, she’s just been that great.

Jenny was a great instructor and we are looking forward to putting all of our new Hypmobabies knowledge into practice!

Asking Jenny to attend my son's birth was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. A consummate professional, she took seriously her role in getting to know our/my hopes and desires for the birth process and thoughtfully honored our values and choices. Her immense knowledge helped us to feel prepared for birth and her calmness helped us to relax and trust the process. After 32 long hours of labor, it is Jenny's voice that I remember most in that final hour before my son was born, "Trust your body...", she gently reminded me when I wasn't sure if I was doing "it" correctly. Her reminder relaxed me at a crucial time. I was skeptical at first about whether we really needed a doula, but Jenny felt like family throughout the entire process and if we had the chance to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. We'll be forever grateful for the gift of her assistance (and we hope to work with her again and again!).

At Expecting the Best, Jenny was an excellent hypnobabies class instructor. She was a very clear and kind instructor who took a serious approach to presenting medical information about pregnancy and birth, and was very open to all our questions. She is also an experienced doula, so gave us a lot of practical insights and examples from her firsthand experience. We finished the class very confident and feeling empowered about our ability to make informed decisions and control the environment during our birthing process.
