✨Hey, Partners! — Are you struggling with finding the confidence you need to provide meaningful support during labor and birth?

You are not alone.

One common phrase I hear from partners all the time is: “I’m worried I won’t know what to do or say. I just don’t want to feel helpless.”

In Flutterby’s Hypnobirthing classes (next series starting Mon, March 30th!), partners learn:
• Hands-on comfort techniques
• How to support relaxation and other tools during contractions
• Encouraging language to use throughout labor
• What’s happening during each stage of labor
• How to advocate confidently for your partner and baby
• What’s normal and what’s not

Birth works best when it’s a team effort. Confident partners create better births.

You don’t have to be perfect. Just present.

If you’re expecting a baby this spring or summer and want to feel prepared, visit the link in our Bio for class details and registration! We’re all in this together. 🫡

✨ Another amazing student review! ✨

💬 “This class was truly transformative.”

My students' confidence and empowerment mean everything to me. That's why I created Flutterby Hypnobirthing – to provide a supportive environment where parents can feel prepared and empowered for birth.

Ellie shares that the class helped her feel:
🌿 Educated and informed about birth
🌿 Supported and encouraged throughout
🌿 Empowered, not overwhelmed

The best part?… She's already recommended the class to friends – thank you, Ellie! 💛

If you're looking for a comprehensive birth preparation class, join us. Practical education, hypnosis tools, and a supportive community await!

✨ Feel confident in your body's ability.
✨ Feel prepared for a positive birth experience.
✨ Feel empowered to make informed choices.

I always love hearing how this work ripples outward. 🫶🏻

When confidence replaces fear and families start sharing these tools with the people they love… that’s exactly why I do this.

So honored to walk alongside each student as they prepare for birth — Grounded, informed, and deeply supported. ✨

If you’re ready to step into your birth feeling hopeful and steady, I’d love to have you in the next class. 🔗 in bio!

NEW HYPNO-BIRTH STORY ON THE BLOG! 📖✨

✨ Thorough Preparation → Confidence → Joyful Birth ✨

One of our Flutterby families welcomed Baby E last year — and their story is such a beautiful reminder of what preparation + trust can do. 💫 👉 Read the full story: https://www.flutterbybirth.com/blog/a-flutterby-hypnobirthing-hospital-birth-story

💛 Woke up in labor at 5am
🎧 Listened to hypnosis tracks on the way to the hospital
🛁 Floated + belly-breathed through surges in the tub
🤝 Partner using feather-light touch support
🌿 Deep relaxation — even 90 minutes before birth
⏱️ Baby born just 6 minutes after pushing began
✨ No tearing + an “intense but not painful” experience!
👶 Golden hour cuddles + big sibling visit

Daily mental practice.
Hypnotic tools.
Supportive partner teamwork.

This is what confidence in birth can grow into. 🌱💛

Every birth is different - but learning how to work with your body changes everything. 🧡

The Childbirth Collective stands in solidarity with all families affected by immigration enforcement activity in the Twin Cities and beyond.

We recognize the fear, stress, and disruption this moment brings—especially for pregnant people, parents, and children. Our work is rooted in the belief that every family deserves safety, dignity, and compassionate care—regardless of where they come from or their circumstances.

As barriers for families have continued to grow, community-based leaders are carrying an extraordinary load. Multilingual and BIPOC doulas, lactation professionals, bodyworkers, midwives, and grassroots healthcare organizations are providing extensive care, coordination, and advocacy within their communities. Much of this work is being offered at no cost, with individuals covering essential expenses out of pocket to keep families supported and safe.

This rapid response fund exists to support both local families directly impacted by immigration enforcement and the BIPOC-led care providers who have always been at the heart of this work. Donations are directed to trusted partner organizations led by people from impacted communities—groups with longstanding relationships, deep cultural knowledge, and a sustained commitment to care that extends far beyond this moment.

We recognize that everyone is navigating different financial realities, community networks, and lived experiences right now. There are many meaningful ways to show up, and many worthy causes asking for care and attention.

If this is one that speaks to you, please consider making a donation or sharing with your people.

Thank you for your care and generosity.

A Reflection on a Year Gone By…

In 2025, I taught 68 wonderfully-engaged Hypnobirthing students — but numbers only tell part of the story of a heart-based business like Flutterby. 📖

What mattered just as much:
✨ Becoming an FACCE
✨ Earning perfect 5-star Google reviews, reflecting the trust families placed in me
✨ Publishing Twin Cities Hospital Cesarean Rate data to support informed choice
✨ Serving as a Board member of the Childbirth Collective, furthering the org’s mission of birth equity for all families
✨ Prioritizing time with my own family, which feels more fleeting as my own babies grow up and out of the nest

So grateful for the parents, partners, doulas, and other colleagues who made this year one of growth, advocacy, and heart. Birth work is a privilege. 💛 Thank you!

📣 2024 TWIN CITIES HOSPITAL CESAREAN BIRTH RATES 📣

🤔 Well… this is interesting… The reported 2024 rates mirror 2023 exactly, which strongly suggests the raw data has not been updated by the MN Hospital Price Check Report since 2023, for unknown reasons. This occurred previously (2020 → 2021), and inquiries to the MN Hospital Price Check Report have not yielded an explanation. 🤨

Regardless, we’re releasing the report for continuity’s sake. Hopefully, by mid-2026, we’ll have 2025 data!

➡️ Swipe to see all slides, including Q&A.

For the annual interactive chart and downloads, visit the link in Bio, or: https://www.flutterbybirth.com/blog/2024-twin-cities-hospital-cesarean-birth-rates

Back from the holiday break, and data loading!… Stay tuned! 📻

[Remember, data is released each year towards the end of the year for the *previous* calendar year’s rates, so these will reflect 2024].
