"HypnoBirthing moms approach labor with a sense of calmness, courage, and faith well beyond any other birth preparation" ~Shelley Northern, CNM
"When I was pregnant with my second baby I really wanted a better birth experience. I took Xylina's Hypnobirthing class and absolutely got what I wanted!!! I had a wonderful, easy birth and will always have great memories of that special day!!! Plus HypnoBirthing helped breastfeeding go more smoothly! I'm still using what I learned! It was so worth it! ~Ruth
"HypnoBirthing Rocks!" ~second-time mom after having a very different birthing experience with HypnoBirthing

~1st-time HypnoBirther, doula, expecting baby #5
"Even though I ended up needing a c-section I found the techniques I learned in HypnoBirthing so helpful for my labor and especially my recovery. I'm so glad I found out about HypnoBirthing!"
~Spokane mom
"I really wish I had known about HypnoBirthing before my first birth! It made such a difference the second time around and I know it could have helped things to go smoother for my first birth. I'm sold and wouldn't birth without HypnoBirthing!!!" ~Second-time mother
"HypnoBirthing helped me have the gentle birth I wanted!! I had a c-section the first time around and really needed the confidence I gained in HypnoBirthing to make my VBAC possible."
