Katie, mom to Christian:
I really enjoyed going to my Hypnobabies classes! I loved the non medical approach to teaching about the birthing process.

My hypnobabies instructor was also my doula and she did an excellent job of helping me to achieve the birth that I had hoped and planned for. I feel very blessed to have had Vanessa Manz at the birth of our baby.

When should I take the class?
The following is a suggestion only. Some women take classes early in their pregnancy, and practicing Hypnobabies helps them to be relaxed, comfortable and confident for the rest of their pregnancies. Others start later, at 6 or 7 months, when they know they can devote 30-40 minutes daily to practicing.
