"We are beyond grateful for Kathryne and the incredible support she provided during both of our births. As our doula, hypnobirth coach, and placenta encapsulation specialist, she was a guiding light through every step of our journey. From our first meeting, it was clear that Kathryne's knowledge and passion for what she does are unmatched. She equipped us with the tools and confidence we needed to navigate my birthing experiences. Both of my births have been unexpectedly perfect, magical, and beautiful, largely thanks to her expertise and calming presence.""

"Kathryne help shaped our experience into the most positive pregnancy and birth that we could have hoped for. As a labor and delivery nurse, I have the knowledge and experience necessary for a medical birth- but Kathryne’s HypnoBirthing course gave me all the tools for the mindset, breath work, partner support, and practice necessary for a successful birth in the way that we planned and envisioned."

" Kathryne is an amazing human being and had so much experience. Because of her I teachings and breathing techniques, and also her non -judgemental character, I was able to have my birth without the use of an epidural or other pain medications, and also "let go" of feeling weird or crazy during labor. She teaches the principles of hypno birthing yet encourages you to embrace yourself, the birth, and adapt to changes without letting go of your values.

"I can’t even begin to explain how amazing Kathryne’s hypnobirthing course was. Kathryne knew my goal for my second birth was to do things unmedicated (if possible) and go into labor feeling mentally strong. Boy, did her course deliver on those goals! I finished the course equipped with the tools I needed to successfully deliver completely unmedicated in the hospital, and I had a beautiful birth!"

"My wife and I took Kathryne's HypnoBirthing class ahead of having our first baby. Her class should be mandatory for all soon to be or current parents! My wife and I both learned so much—from techniques to keep us both calm to the anatomy of what's actually happening in a woman's body to ways to be empowered when presented with medical interventions. Kathryne answered every question we had and presented us with questions we never even thought of."

" Kathryne was all we were hoping for - not only did I get mentally prepared for birthing again, I learned a lot of new information about the birthing process and how our bodies work through the different stages of labor. The information she provides is so empowering because once you can recognize how certain surges and feelings contribute to your labor progressing, you feel purpose in the process and (for me) a great sense of calm and control. I also loved that Kathryne kept the classes real, honest, and funny."

"Kathryne’s class was super helpful not only for my wife but also for me as her support person. She gave us all the tools for both mom and I to prepare for labor and birth, and it was critical for me to be there for my wife in a way that she needed me during her labor. I learned how to comfort her, keep her focused, and how to be her advocate. Kathryne supported us both during the labor as our doula, and she played a critical role in helping us have the labor and birth we wished for. She knew exactly what my wife and I needed during each challenging stage and helped us meet our baby in a positive experience."

"Working with Kathryne was an amazing experience. I originally contacted her about encapsulating my placenta, and ended up also taking her hypnobirthing course. The class was super empowering and educational for both me and my partner and helped us confidently approach the birth of our daughter."

"Kathryne is amazing! She encapsulated my placenta into pills and a tincture. My husband and I were very pleased with her service. She made the entire process very easy, understandable, and enjoyable. She will forever be a part of our lives."

"I’m soo glad we chose hypnobirthing with Kathryne as our birth prep classes! It really helped address the fears and unknowns of birth and get me to a state of readiness and dare I say confidence going into my first birthing experience. As a physical therapist I also appreciated her focus on explaining the physiology behind every aspect of birth instead of just teaching the meditation and imagery aspects. "

"I wanted to try hypnobirthing for my second birth and am so glad I found Kathryne and her class. I really enjoyed the exercises and learning in the class, and it helped me identify and let go of some fears that I was clinging on to. It also gave me confidence going into labor and a lot of tools and techniques for pain management and relaxation to use throughout the (unmedicated) birth. I still use the relaxation tracks to this day when I need a bit of extra help falling asleep. Thank you Kathryne!"

"This hypnobirthing class was literally the best class I’ve ever taken. It was fun. Informative. Kathryne really knows her stuff and is a joy to work with. My husband and I are thrilled to have been prepped this way as we go into one of the most life changing experiences. You have to take this program! You will feel so ready and excited to labor!!!"

"I cannot say enough great things about Kathryne. I used her placenta encapsulation services but she went about and beyond with support in so many different areas of postpartum and lactation consulting. She truly cares about her clients and the caring support she provides is so genuine and heartfelt. I cannot thank her enough she is definitely someone you want as part of your birth/postpartum team!"

"There is so much fear in the unknown and that is what childbirth was for me, full of the unknown. This class was so incredibly informative! You will literally write down your fears and bring them to the table, then work on all of them. I went from scared and not knowing anything to feeling empowered and excited for this process to meeting our baby. I can’t recommend this class enough!"

"We worked with Kathryne for placenta encapsulation after another Doula recommended her and I couldn’t say more wonderful things about the process! She was was not only professional, but incredibly warm and checked in on us throughout and after the process. "

"Just finished Kathryne’s hypnobirthing 5 week course. I am giving 5 stars because of how comfortable I feel now compared to the start of this course. I was extremely scared, clueless about the birthing process and just very confused at what kind of birth I wanted to have. Every week it got easier and the stress weighed less on my shoulders about the coming birth day. If you are looking for a course to release your fears, gain so much knowledge about the birth process and just learn so much about yourself as a person, then I would recommend this course."

Kathryne is such a kind soul and gives a tonne of tips and tricks to help you have a positive pregnancy and birthing experience from start to finish. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Kathryne!!"
