I can’t tell you enough about how wonderful our experience was with Katherine teaching our private
home session of Hypnobabies. Katherine is a wonderful instructor; she not only has a wonderful
command of the entire program but she also has an ability to directly relate to your experience with
her sweet, sincere and passionate demeanor. The Hypnobabies program was the best investment I
made in my birth experience!
I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a pain-free, wonderful childbirth education
class and birth experience. I think the private lessons were so beneficial for me and my husband and I
would advise anyone considering Hypnobabies to spend the extra money for the convenience of being in
your own home and having the class geared directly on you and your experience. I can’t imagine what
my birth experience would have been like had we not learned about this incredible program and taken
Katherine’s class. I had a pain-free, vaginal birth to a beautiful 9 lb 1 oz baby girl.

continues to be a great source of information for me.
And she was so calming and inspiring during our
baby's birth. I walked into the hospital fully dilated -
we had just the birth we had planned and couldn't
have done it without her! ~ Pam
that she is meant to be a doula, and she goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone's experience
is the best it can be.
We asked Katherine to come over to the house after I had been in labor a few hours. As soon as she
arrived, she immediately started helping. She was able to use different techniques that relieved some
of the pain and was able to include my husband throughout the process. When my mood started to
sour, she reminded me that this journey would end in a beautiful baby and she helped me stay positive.
In addition to providing love and support, Katherine gave us a lot of valuable information before and
after the birth. She was always very well organized for our meetings, communicated clearly and made
us feel more prepared for the birth of our baby.
I believe that our whole birthing experience was enhanced tremendously by Katherine's presence. We
would love to have her help again during our second pregnancy and birth. ~ Jennifer
I am convinced that in spite of the tremendous love,
support, and dedication our spouses, family and friends
provide during the labor and birth process - nothing
compares to the assistance a doula brings. She is a healer
of pain, a wealth of emotional support, a source of
womanly wisdom, and a loyal friend focused on no one
other than the laboring woman. At no other time in my
life have I felt so pampered or special!
As our doula, Katherine permitted each member of our
labor team (including me) to more comfortably and
calmly experience the transformative experience of Zola's birth. For example, my midwife could
communicate directly with Katherine when I was too busy having contractions to explain what was
happening. My mother-in-law could be there simply to help if we needed her. And, with Katherine in
charge of my pain management, my sweet, patient husband felt less pressured or powerless to alleviate
my discomfort. Our dear husbands, no matter how hard they try, cannot relate or comprehend the
intensity of a process (birth) they will never know!
In addition to all this, Katherine even managed to snap a number of amazing pictures after the birth,
while my husband and I held and swooned over our newborn daughter. Looking back, I don't know
what we would have done without her! I will be forever grateful to Katherine for the loving-kindness,
guidance, and assistance she provided at one of the most challenging and important times of my life. I
know she'll be one of the first people we call when we become pregnant with baby #2!

proud to call her my friend! ~ Candice

Cooper
- When my husband and I first started discussing
our birth plan, our initial inclination was to do
everything ourselves. We wanted to keep the
birthing experience between us, our doctor and
our baby. However, after speaking with a few
women that had used doulas, we decided to
consider using a doula as well. When we first
met Katherine, we instantly saw that she was
dedicated to the cause of helping families to
have the best birthing experience possible and
helping to bring children into the world
surrounded by love. She is one of a handful
that she is meant to be a doula, and she goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone's experience
is the best it can be.

- Having Katherine as my doula was a wonderful and
blessed experience. She was so patient and affectionate
toward me the whole way. My labor started at 3 am
and ended at 7:18 pm with my wonderful son being
born. She was there the whole time. She kept me
entertained, hydrated, and fed. She gave me a
massage through my pressure waves and tried
acupressure when my labor wasn't progressing. It was
so much fun having her there. I swear we walked
miles and miles around the neighborhood to get my
labor along and she never missed a beat. There is
and talk to her about anything and I knew it would stay with her. She was truly a blessing and I am
proud to call her my friend! ~ Candice
