Life changing! Nancy's wonderful and engaging personality fit beautifully with her expertise and the effective tools she shares. Together we worked not only to reduce everyday stressors but tackled the the really big one for me which was working through major issues with claustrophobia. Just got back from an unforgettable family vacation that involved taking 4 plane flights...something I haven't been able to do in over 20 years. I'm so thankful a friend told me about her and so I'm truly grateful for Nancy.

We hired Nancy to be our birth doula because I had significant anxiety about the birthing process due to past reproductive health issues. Nancy provided me with the tools to not only help deal with these issues mentally but also helped facilitate a mindset shift towards the entire process to feel more positive. Eventually, I ended up having a very positive birthing experience and an unmedicated natural birth. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone looking for a seasoned and compassionate doula.

We used Nancy's virtual hypnobirth service to prepare for our unmedicated childbirth. I was so impressed with how well her tools worked, even for someone who has NEVER meditated before. Both my husband and I enjoyed the sessions and found them helpful for when labor hit. We used a lot of her audio tracks specifically when contractions became really difficult. Highly recommend!!!!

We were recommended Nancy by our midwife/doula and I honestly could not have been happier with all of the tools and techniques we learned from her for the birth. This was our first birth experience and we were planning a natural, unmedicated birth of our twins so I was feeling a little apprehensive about how I was going to handle all of the unknowns. My husband and I did a consult with Nancy and then met with her for a total of three sessions. All of the tips and suggestions she had along the way were very helpful, in addition to learning coping techniques for the sensations of labor. We went

I started seeing Nancy for Hypno Birth, and while I haven’t given birth yet, the skills I’ve learned so far have been so valuable. In addition to being anxious about labor, I had a pretty extreme fear of blood tests. In the past, blood tests for me would include fear and anxiety in the days leading up to it, and panicking throughout the actual procedure. I’ve had a few sessions with Nancy so far and today had my first blood test since trying Hypno Birth. What a difference!! It’s not a magic bullet. You don’t suddenly love the thing you once feared. But the deep panic, anxiety, racing

We were referred to Nancy through our birth classes with Wendy Dean and it was instantly a great match. We were expecting our first child and were keen to have a low intervention hospital birth. We had not considered hypnobirthing but found the sessions with Nancy and the practice at home invaluable at the birth. Nancy had a calming confident presence during the birth which was short and intervention free.
My husband had been reluctant to have a Doula as he was worried this would take away from his support role. Nancy was great at helping us to work together as a couple through the birth. We

It's hard to put into words how much Nancy means to our family. She's gentle, kind hearted, real, and very fun too! Her presence and knowledge on helping you and your partner through birthing is all you need to have a smooth labor. My husband and I learned to manage labor pains through her hypnobirthing training. We highly recommend hiring her for both! My husband felt more confident coaching me through labor with Nancy by our sides. Its great having your husband next to you but having Nancy present is wonderful for the female touch. There's an unspoken bond that you feel through

Nancy has been an absolutely amazing addition to our birth team. She coached me through 3 births, and is also going to be our doula for our 4th this Spring. Even though, we've been through birth before, having Nancy around is something we feel is vital because of the comfort and knowledge she has. We feel we can breathe easy, completely trusting in her while she is with us. Nancy has always been able to answer my questions, point me to excellent resources, and has gone the extra mile to make sure we have the best birth possible. The hypnobirthing training she offered was a huge comfort to

After experiencing a very difficult hospital birth with our first child, I realized I needed support to look forward to the birth of our second child with anticipation versus fear. I was excited to discover a doula that would provide both emotional and physical support for our planned home-birth, but also hypnotherapy in advance to help me heal my fear and alleviate the tension I knew could get in the way of an easy second delivery. Nancy was amazing! The hypnosis for birth training was so grounding and helped me clear out the anxiety I was holding onto. It also gave me tools and self-confidence

Nancy was very dedicated and knowledgeable. She did prenatal education with my husband and I in addition to our hypnosis for birth classes. We felt that Nancy thoroughly provided tools for coping with labor, helped answer questions and eased our anxiety. My baby was two weeks late, Nancy was there for me when I felt very unsure about the safest course of action for me and my baby. When I did go into labor it was for over 48 hours- she was with us nearly the entire time. If it were not for Nancy and the care of my midwife and nurse, I believe I would have had a caesarian delivery after being in
