Imagine if you had YOUR best birthing experience, the birth your heart, body, and soul long for. Imagine if you felt empowered, confident, and excited as you approached your birthing day. Imagine if you conquered and overcame each and every single one of your fears, worries, and doubts. Imagine if you felt comfortable and relaxed during your birthing experience.
Let’s turn these imaginations into reality.
Let’s work together to achieve YOUR best and ideal birth.
THE MONGAN METHOD | WHAT IS HYPNOBIRTHING?
the benefits
HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven technique that guides and prepares a woman to give birth peacefully. Techniques that can be used during labor and birth at any birthing location: home, hospital, or at a birth center. The HypnoBirthing® program includes changing your mindset, special breathing techniques, relaxation, visualizations, and so much more!
Check out the curriculum list below on what you can expect to learn in the 5-week series.

If you are looking at the class schedule and notice that a date might conflict with your calendar, please email me. There is a solution to everything! And I usually always find a way to make a class up for a couple. Or, maybe it's a last minute thing and you can't attend in person for some reason - I offer live virtual classes via Zoom for these circumstances.

Some mamas like starting early and having all of the information as early as possible to practice, plan, and prepare as early as possible and some mamas like to have the information closer to birthing time. My classes range from women who are 15 weeks all the way to 35 weeks. My biggest ecommendation is to try and set it up so that you are ending the series before 38 weeks. I do find that mamas who start later wish they would have started sooner but it's better "late" than never.

No - A lot of people misunderstand what Hypnobirthing is and what it entails and I totally understand because I was actually skeptical myself. The guided relaxations that we listen to are visualizations, guided imagery, and guided breathing. With Hypnobirthing, the goal is to help mamas get into a very, deeply relaxed state to allow the body

A Comprehensive Childbirth Series for a Natural Birthing Experience
Here at Anointed Births, one of our biggest goals is to lower the unnecessary intervention rates in Southern CA. As experienced doulas and birthing mothers, we developed this course with the intention of offering a comprehensive guide for women and their birthing companions as they embark on their journey in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
OUR MISSION IS TO…
Empower couples by equipping them with knowledge and support through each phase of this transformative process. We firmly believe in honoring a woman’s innate ability to birth naturally, respecting the divine design of the female body.
