What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is as much a philosophy as it is a technique – it’s a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing based on the belief that babies and mothers can have a gentle, calm, and joyful birth experience.
Hypnobirthing prepares mother and her partner physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally for an easier, more comfortable, stress-free birth.
Through a well-thought-out program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, special breathing techniques, visualizations, affirmations, and physiological education, Hypnobirthing returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby safely and with ease.
Our Birth Harmony class also provides evidence based birthing education with couples bonding support.

What if I’m too late for the next class?
We have a self-paced option, which you can learn more about here.
How far along in my pregnancy should I be to take this course?
If you have 30 days, you’re golden to start preparing. That said, for ideal time-line, it’s best to begin this course in your second trimester (14 to 26 Weeks) for optimal preparation time.
How is Birth Harmony different from a Classic HypnoBirthing Course?
Our HypnoBirthing Class, “Birth Harmony,” is not a classical HypnoBirthing International Course, though heavily emphasizes the power of hypnosis for birth preparation.
We’ve created our own hypnotracks, preparation workbooks, and exercises to support you and your partner for confident birth preparation.
The ways our course differs from HypnoBirthing International is:
1. We offer a few more tools for attuning our brain frequencies to receive the positive affirmations in our relaxation practice.
2. We bring in tactical exercises for partner bonding using tantric principles (i.e. witness consciousness tools), meditation, and non-violent communication frameworks to support preparing your partner bond before baby’s arrival
3. We offer week-by-week assignments to reduce the overwhelm that comes with researching and preparing for the birth of your baby, including postpartum suggestions.

I took the Birth Harmony course on my 3rd trimester in preparation for my second baby.
Having had a traumatic birth experience with my first, I knew this time around I had to do things differently. So I opted for a home birth. This course was everything I needed to have the home birth I wanted.
Not only did it teach me everything about hypnobirthing and how to use it while in labor (huge help!), but it went far beyond that. I can’t begin to explain how complete it is.
It covered every single topic a pregnant mama can ever think about, from amazing books and authors, online resources, tips for birth, postpartum, etc.
It is so user friendly and Samantha has a beautiful and smooth way of walking you through it without making it long, boring or repetitive. I could hear her talk for days!!
Thank you Samantha for creating such a gift for us expecting mamas. I can never thank you enough for helping me prepare my mind and body for what was the redeeming birth my soul needed and the best experience of my life.
I looked forward to Samantha’s Birth Harmony class each week. As a mama of a 15 month old with another baby on the way around Feb/March 2023, Samantha’s class was always a breath of fresh air for me; a dedicated time that I set aside to relax, soak in everything Samantha was teaching about and focus on a positive birth experience. Before taking Birth Harmony, I knew I wanted some aspects of this upcoming birth to be different from my first delivery which was in a hospital setting with a midwife in New England. While I loved my midwife, my experience in the hospital wasn’t very calm and peaceful and it was my deep desire to have this type of experience with my second baby. Prior to taking Birth Magic, I was searching for resources to learn how to achieve a peaceful, calm labor and delivery, but I felt a bit lost. Hypnobirthing was so confusing to me, even after reading books and watching videos on the topic. After Samantha’s Birth Harmony class, I have a much better understanding of hypnobirthing and love the time I set aside each day to practice and listen to Samantha’s calming voice on her hypnobirthing tracks. Even though this isn’t going to be my first labor, I feel much better prepared for all stages of labor after taking Samantha’s course as well as postpartum. She gave so much helpful information each session – I remember meeting with my doula, Nicole, after my first Birth Harmony class, and I was so excited that I couldn’t help but share so much that I’d learned in just one class. If I ever have a third baby, I’d like to take the class again to refresh and learn more helpful nuggets of information. The information I learned in the class helped me to make the leap from planning to deliver in a hospital setting to a birth center here in Austin, and I’m so happy that Samantha’s class helped me overcome fears I had about delivering outside of a hospital. I can’t wait to welcome our newest addition to our family, and I’m feeling very confident that the birth will be peaceful and calm thanks to the help of Samantha and her Birth Harmony class.
