My background is in labor and birth nursing. I am well versed in the medical aspect of birth and have longed for years to show women that their births can be better.

This year many households have come into contact with HypnoBirthing as a gentle means to have a baby. It's been a good year for getting the word out to our small town. I would like to add how much I have learned as a practitioner. I have come to understand that my beliefs play a big role in how I portray myself, and the HypnoBirthing information to women and their families.

In my first few months of teaching this material, I don't think I really believed it. Some of my results showed this lack of faith. Then I also got on board, probably after a few successes. The results are amazing. We really do exude a certain energy, either pro or con, no matter how hard we try to hide it. Now I teach with the confidence of knowing that HypnoBirthing is true. It works. It shines on mother's faces after they have ecstatically given birth. It heals my own birth history every time I see one of these beaming faces. This is a lesson I had to learn on my own. I'm glad it didn't take too long.

Many times in the past, I have been downhearted with a heavy burden of attempting to traditionally educate women in the joy of birth. The traditional method falls short of giving women and their partners the necessary tools to achieve that goal. Your method has been a means to help me, as well as the women I serve.

Thank  you.
