I started working with Liz at 32 weeks pregnant as I prepared for an unmedicated birth with my second daughter. From our very first call, it was immediately clear that her goal is to help women feel calm, confident, and empowered going into their birth experience – and to truly realize how capable they are.
Our sessions left me feeling truly prepared – Liz taught me breathing and visualization techniques that I relied on throughout my labor, and she also helped me work through my fears and anxieties in a really productive and meaningful way. During labor, I was able to stay calm, controlled, and focused – even when things got really intense. I felt in control the entire time, and it was one of the most intuitive experiences I’ve ever had, which I truly credit to the work I did with Liz.
Because of Liz, I was able to have the natural birth I had hoped for, and I truly couldn’t have done it without her. My OB was so impressed with my overall birthing experience that she asked for Liz’s contact information to share with future patients – which says it all!
Even beyond birth, I’ve carried her techniques into everyday life and feel a greater sense of calm overall. I’m so grateful for Liz and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a more calm, intentional and empowering birth experience!
Liz was amazing! I had so much fear from my previous birth. After working with Liz, I was at the hospital for under two hours when the baby came. For almost my entire labor, I was in control and the pain was manageable. My daughter is such a chill baby, which I think may be from hypnobirthing. Thank you so much Liz!!!!
