A huge congratulations to my clients S & S on the very quick arrival of their beautiful daughter! So quick that I didn't even make it to the hospital before the news that the baby had arrived! I'm so glad your baby arrived quickly and safely - best Christmas present of all!

There is an extra sweetness in attending a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), and watching that moment of triumph and bliss when a mama brings up her baby onto her chest. I couldn't be more proud of my clients A & J. They made a great team, working their way through the birth process together, with lots of love and a great support team. Congratulations to you both! :)

I had the honor to attend my first rainbow baby birth today - a birth after a previous loss. It was a totally beautiful day full of laughter and light. A huge congratulations to my wonderful Hypnobabies students E & K on blowing everybody away with your calm demeanor, belief in yourself, your body, and your baby, and the sweetness and love you hold for each other and for both of your boys.

One of the great joys of my work is attending a healing birth - a birth that heals wounds from a previous birth. I'm so grateful to have been with a beautiful couple today welcoming their son into the world. Beautiful work E & S! A very happy birthday to your sweet boy. :)
