Hypnosis is a very focused learning state that is similar to a guided meditation but with very specific goals and outcomes in mind. 80% of our mind communicates via images and emotions. Visualization and imagery are sensory experiences that enable us rework images and their associations in our mind.
I had my first individual session with Laur less than a week ago and I can already feel my stress and anxiety melting away. She gave me some very vital tools to help me deal with everyday triggers that have worked beautifully each time I've needed them. I've never tried hypnotherapy before and to be honest I wasn't overly optimistic BUT I was open to try.

HypnoBirthing classes are structured to follow the 5-week, 2.5 hour Marie Mongan methodology for childbirth education and hypnosis. The classes are a mix of childbirth education + hypnosis group journeys that will provide mamas with the peace of mind and power they desire for their birthing experience.
Becoming pregnant is not always as simple as procreating during the time you are ovulating or going through IVF. Our mind has a tremendous influence throughout the whole conception process. Toxic emotions and negative thinking may be hindering your ability to conceive. Hypnotherapy and visualization enable women to release unconscious blocks and stressors.
The research and evidence supporting the benefits of hypnotherapy and guided imagery throughout the motherhood journey are rich and multifaceted. Combined with understanding the negative side effects that stress and anxiety have on a woman's ability to conceive, carry, connect, and deliver, it is clear that these methods have a lasting positive impact.

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Laur's Hypnobirthing class. As 2nd time parents we felt like we knew what we were doing but wanted coping methods in case my 2nd birth was anything like my first... I could not have survived my very intense labor as confidently as I did without this class. Worth its weight in gold and honestly, I find myself using the methods I learned in Laur's class day to day since then in different situations! It's amazing what the mind can do when you have the proper training and meditative practice to guide you. I would recommend Laur&apos

My husband and I participated in Laur's 5 week Hypnobirthing program, and we didn't want it to end! Each week we looked forward to connecting with the other parents-to-be, and learning about the techniques that are going to help us have a natural, healthy, beautiful birth of our first child. During the 5 weeks, the special breathing techniques, meditations and self-hypnosis eradicated any fears or previous notions we had about our birthing day. I can confidently say that I feel so calm, well prepared, and ready to bring our baby into this world. I feel like I have the tools and confidence

Laur is an incredibly gifted hypnotherapist! I saw her for some birth-related anxiety and stress relief techniques and had the most insightful, relaxing session. I truly think that her methods and calming persona are perfect and I could not more highly recommend her - for everyday stresses as well as birthing and baby related concerns. I am currently pregnant with my second baby and plan to see her again before they are born!!

One of the best decisions I made! I cannot even start to put into words how incredible Laur and her practice is. She is super warm and welcoming so it makes it easy and comfortable to open up to her right away. You feel the extreme presence about her that immediately puts you at peace. I had a traumatic birth with my son and was looking to do everything to flip the script and have my most perfect birth. She set me up with homework and recordings leading up to the big day. I literally had the birth I imagined.. okay not everything but you know what I mean. I was present, accepting the pain

My husband and I took Lauren's HypnoBirthing class and it was amazing. The tools we learned have helped give me confidence in myself and my body as well as prepare my husband for what is to come. We have yet to give birth but I feel great knowing what I have learned about the Hypno method of birthing. I would recommend this class to any mom hoping to have a natural birth. Everything we learned makes perfect sense, the power of the mind body connection is amazing and I am excited for the birth of our baby.

I had a baby in February of 2018. I lost half of my baby weight, but kept on the other half for close to a year after my son's birth. I was finally ready to lose it and had always been curious about hypnotherapy. Through the South Bay mommy community, I had heard Laur could help through her Weight Control Series.
After the first class, we dove right in and I came away relaxed and with excellent tools to send my subconscious mind gentle messaging ;) I learned how important visualization is and regularly practice seeing my most excellent self.
Each class built upon the last and I'm just so grateful

Laur was amazing when working with my eight year old son. Her warmth and compassion immediately put him at ease during our first session at her office. My son felt like he was "playing" with her the entire time she was speaking with him. Laur gave him practical and fun suggestions on how to manage his reactions to different situations. I would highly recommend consulting with Laur if you need a resource for your child.

We recently transitioned our toddler to a new preschool and I was a nervous wreck. I'm not a helicopter parent by any means so I felt ridiculous that I was feeling so much anxiety and guilt over the transition. I came across Laur and thought I would give mamatuition a shot. I had been hypnotized once before but never to work on this type of issue. I'm so glad I picked up the phone and scheduled a session! Laur was professional, patient and never once made me feel silly for having anxiety about my son's school transition. Laur helped me to focus on a positive mindset rather than

Laur is absolutely amazing! I went to her for hypnosis, which I had never done before. And let me tell you, it was a phenomenal experience and more importantly, it works!! I was struggling with post-partum anxiety and more specifically, fears of leaving my infant daughter and returning to work. I went from being a mess with lots of tears to feeling strong and empowered.
Prior to being hypnotized, Laur explained the science behind hypnosis and the process thoroughly. She spent quality time with me and answered all my questions. She put me at ease. She understood how I receive info best to help

Laur Berman is an amazing hypnotherapist. I originally went to see her about my struggles with weight loss but after 10 sessions I feel like I came away with so much more self-awareness along with a wide variety of tools and tricks to help me in all facets of my life, not just weight loss. Laur is incredibly patient and never judgey. Each week she provided me with tools to help me manage my issues on my own. She has a wealth of knowledge and is so easy to talk to. Love her!
