Hey there! I'm Heather.
I am a HypnoBirthing Practitioner, a Birth Doula, and a part of the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic team. But those are my official titles! At home, I am a mom of two delightful little girls, Nora Jean and Elle Marie, and a wife to my hardworking husband, JR. We also have a couple of fur babies, Lulu the big white dog, and Rocky our fluffy old cat. I stumbled into this birth world after my own births and have never looked back.
I found HypnoBirthing at the end of my pregnancy with Nora Jean (end, like 3 weeks before I gave birth to her), and using the techniques I was able to have a completely unmedicated natural childbirth. 15 months later I gave birth to our second daughter, Elle Marie, using the same techniques and had a second unmedicated, natural childbirth, that was 99% pain-free! That's when I really knew there was something to this HypnoBirthing thing.
​
I became a Certified HypnoBirthing Practitioner in 2014 so that I could help other women know they have other options for birth. The following spring I took my doula training to further assist my clients from the HynoBirthing course who requested I attend their birth. This career has been so rewarding on a personal level for me and I owe it all to Marie Mongan and the HypnoBirthing Institute .
​
In 2017, I embarked on another journey with using HypnoBirthing when I decided to be a Gestational Surrogate for a couple who wanted to grow their family. Again using all of my HypnoBirthing knowledge, I delivered a healthy, little (ok, he was 9.5lbs... maybe not little) boy. This time with100% pain-free labor and birth.
​
2022 was another exciting year as I gave birth, for the 4th time, using the HypnoBirthing techniques for a second wonderful surrogate family, this one being a calm peaceful car birth! Also 100% pain free. These already emotionally rewarding experience were only enhanced by how amazingly beautiful the births were.
​
I'm here to help you with your own birth goals, whatever that looks like for you! I wish every woman a magical birthing experience they can cherish for the rest of their lives.
Much love and gratitude to you for visiting my page! I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about what kind of birthing experience YOU are looking for.
