"We loved Vonda's hypnobirthing course! By the time I was in labor I felt calm and at peace about whatever path my baby's delivery took.  I also felt informed and empowered and at ease.  I can't recommend this course enough!"

Jamie Lee

"My husband and I took private hypnobirthing classes with Doula Vonda in our home and it was a wonderful experience. Vonda is well informed, warm and made us feel empowered and calm about hypnobirthing and natural birth. We can’t recommend her enough."

Ashley Mead

"Vonda’s Hypnobirthing class was an incredible experience for both my husband and I. We learned so much and went into our child’s birth feeling confident, calm, and optimistic, which made the world of a difference during the delivery."

Madelaine Zarou

"My husband and I took the 1:1 hypnobirthing class with Vonda and it was great! After the sessions we both feel much more confident and prepared for labor and delivery. Vonda is a wealth of knowledge and facilitated discussions beyond just the class material that were so beneficial to us, especially as first time parents. She is incredibly kind and has a very calming presence. We highly recommend her services!"

Caleigh Hodgkins

"Vonda's zoom birthing class helped alleviate a lot of fear for me. She answered all questions from myself and also my husband. I only wish I booked earlier in my pregnancy to have more time to work on visualizations."

Samantha Bogen

"I absolutely loved my experience taking Vondas Hypnobirthing class! It was four sessions via zoom and I learned invaluable information that has forever changed my perspective on birth. I am going into it with so much more confidence and empowerment than I thought was possible and its all thanks to Doula Vonda! Don't think twice about taking her course it is 100% worth it!!!"

"Awesome experience and super helpful information. I will be sending all of my friends who are expecting in the future!"

Brittany Bloom

"Vonda has played such an important role in our growing family that we truly feel like she’s part of it. We had the pleasure of working with her for the birth of both of our sons. With our first, we took her Hypnobirthing class and the skills we learned from her allowed us to have amazing birth experiences. While both births were unique and not without their challenges, Vonda’s calming presence and expertise in natural labor helped me get through the unexpected elements of both labors. Her gentle way of guiding, coaching, and encouraging empowered me to have the births that I always dreamed of. Her wealth of knowledge added so much value to our birth team. We are forever grateful for our Doula Vonda!"

Maddy-Grace Oberg

"Doula Vonda has been an answer to prayer! I'm currently 39 weeks and prepared for a VBAC after 2 cesareans. I'm going into this labor/birth with confidence I never knew before! Ultimately, I've placed the process in the hands of my Almighty God, but I'm so so blessed that He placed Vonda in my life to educate and prepare me for this most exciting part of my families lives! God Bless you Vonda and all families!"

Cyndil Duckworth

"Vonda is such a joy to work with as you prep for a peaceful labor. She is knowledgeable, kind and brings such a breath of relief to one of life’s biggest moments. My husband and I feel so equipped to bring this newest life into the world in just a few weeks and that’s mostly due to Vonda’s training, encouragement and expertise."

Jasmine Storey

"When we signed up for Vonda’s class, we had actually never heard of Hypnobirthing before. When researching for birthing classes this one popped up and we were super interested in learning more about it, especially as I had already planned for a natural birth. In hindsight, it was the best decision we could have made during this pregnancy. Vonda is such an expert in her field and has such a wealth of knowledge. She was able to answer every question we had and was such a valuable resource to us. The class made us feel so educated and prepared for labor which in turn allowed for a peaceful birth using the hypnobirthing techniques we learned and practiced together. We enjoyed the class so much, we actually ended up hiring Vonda and Kiana as our doulas! I truly can’t recommend the class, Vonda & Kiana, or hypnobirthing enough!!"

Emily Case DiCenso

"Doula Vonda is incredibly knowledgeable and helped us prepare for hypnobirthing in the comfort of our own home! I recommend you start these classes early in your second trimester so you can better prepare for birth. I was successfully able to apply the techniques I learned from Vonda during my delivery. These classes extremely pair well with using Vonda and Kiana as doulas. I definitely plan on using them in the future!"

Sasha Karbach

"Vonda’s Hypnobirthing class was incredible. Going through this course gives you such an empowering perspective on the birthing process and builds up confidence for your big day.
 
I started listened to the hypnobirthing audio as early labor started and was already 6 cm dilated when the midwives got to my place. I was in a relaxed trance like state at that time from the self hypnosis.
 
Once I got the overwhelming urge to bear down, I used the breathing techniques Vonda taught in class to help my body move through the birthing process. I had full confidence my body and my baby knew what to do and I just needed to breathe with the movement. I felt primal instincts come over me as I entered this stage of labor and my body’s endorphins kicked in as that final push brought my baby girl into the world ❤️
 
I know a 6 hour birth start to finish for a first time mom is very unusual and I think this was possible for me due to the power of hypnobirthing and the techniques Vonda teaches. I had the birth experience I desired because I was able to stand fully in my power after learning the principles that were taught."

Christine Arseneau

"Cannot recommend Vonda's Hypnobirthing class enough!! My husband and I took her class and went from knowing nothing about the birthing process and babies, to knowing SO much and feeling so much more confident as we headed towards the birth of our first child. Hypnobirthing was a game changer for us in labor and allowed the experience to be incredibly bonding for my husband and I. So grateful for this education and support that set us up for a truly beautiful birth!!"

Hillary Dotson

" This hypnobirthing class was everything I was looking for in a birthing class. Doula Vonda is an amazing teacher and extremely knowledgeable on birth and babies. You will definitely feel confident and have more tools with proven track records to make birth a beautiful experience. I highly recommend this course to any pregnant momma. ❤️"

Mercedes Lamb

"I could say a million things! So so grateful for Vonda and her gracious, calming spirit that had made my first pregnancy feel so stress free. My husband and I have “hired” her as both our Doula and our HypnoBirthing teacher, and I can’t recommend her enough if you’re wanting to have a comfortable, calm, joyful pregnancy and birthing experience. She is FULL of knowledge and so willing to help, and feels more like family. She is nothing short of a blessing to all the couples she cares for!"

Mary Catherine Echols

"My spouse and I took Vonda's HypnoBirthing course and it was fabulous. I was extremely anxious about giving birth and the course was amazingly reassuring. I learned a lot from the book and watching the videos in class was seriously mind-blowing. The visualization exercises and the way HypnoBirthing invites the birth partner to really practically support the birthing person was unlike any of the other preparation I did. My birth turned out so beautiful- straightforward and healthy. If I ever need a doula again I would love to have Vonda there."

Kit Arthur

"I cannot thank you enough for providing us so much support as our doula during my pregnancy and well as postpartum care with lactation support.
Our baby girl came into this world in the most perfect way thanks to your expertise to encourage baby to be in the perfect position before birth and being by my side during labor couching through each surge.
After birth, your lactation support gave us just what we needed to get on track for successful breastfeeding and cannot thank you enough.
Here’s one of my favorite pictures of our birth - doula Vonda holding the phone while we had my husband on FaceTime while he was deployed and baby girl on my chest and I couldn’t have a bigger smile on my face for how happy the moment was.

Cassie Young

"Very informative hypnobirthing classes! Hypnobirthing gave me a new perspective on what my birthing experience could be like. Vonda was great at answering all of my questions and it’s clear she has an immense amount of experience!"

Jessica Walsh

"We just completed our HypnoBirthing course with Vonda and it was a wonderful experience! We feel fully informed, educated, and prepared to have a peaceful and calm birth. Her knowledge, expertise, and first hand experience from years as a childbirth educator and doula make her the best resource for a HypnoBirthing education. She tailored the class to our wishes and plans for the birth experience we are looking to have, she allayed our fears, and readily answered all of our questions throughout the course. We cannot wait to have her as our doula (again!) for the upcoming birth of our son. Thank you, Vonda!!"

Alissa Eckert

"Having just completed the 4 week hypnobirthing course with Doula Vonda, I can say this is an informative and comprehensive guide to hypnobirthing. The hands on practice to pain relief techniques was extremely helpful and having an expert to ask questions of was very valuable. I would absolutely recommend this class for anyone considering hypnobirthing"

Lindsay Mackie

"So grateful for Doula Vonda and this class! It was taught at a great pace, I felt very informed but not overwhelmed. Vonda taught the information in a way that was super easy to understand and retain. My husband and I both benefited from this class and learned a lot. My mom was also able to attend and that helped us all be on the same page for the kind of birth experience I want. We had tons of opportunities to ask questions and have open conversations about any topics that we didn’t feel confident about. I would recommend this class to all of my friends and family!"

Elisabeth Richardson

"Vonda’s classes were terrific! I learned so much and I was extra grateful to do the private sessions. She was able to answer all my questions and provide so much knowledge and experience. The private sessions also made my husband more comfortable and he learned to be such a great birthing partner. I am so thankful to have had Vonda not only as my birth class instructor but also as my doula. She made my entire birthing experience calm and lovely."

Melissa Phillips

"My husband and I learned so much much through Vonda’s hypnobirthing classes. We felt much better prepared going into labor because of the classes."

K lamb

"I had an incredible experience with my doula. Her support was unwavering, providing comfort and guidance throughout my pregnancy and labor. She exuded calmness, making the entire process more manageable. Her expertise and compassion truly made a positive impact on my birthing journey. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional doula services. Five stars without a doubt! Thank you Vonda"

Gabriela Davies

"LOVE Vonda & Kiana. Vonda's knowledge of the birthing process and post-partum help is priceless. I felt very comfortable relying on both of them when dealing with medical professionals."

Jennifer Gould

"We’ve worked with Vonda twice (2nd & 3rd baby) so far and it has been life changing! The difference is night and day from our first baby to the other two thanks to her Hypnobirthing classes and refresher! She is so sweet and kind and her voice is calming! Kiana was with us for the most recent pregnancy and always there when needed! They make a great team and are definitely worth having!"

Leel Yesenia Williams

"Having Vonda as my Doula and Hypnobirthing coach for both of my children’s birth was such a blessing! She is encouraging, knowledgeable and compassionate. She listens to you but also gives advice gently when it is needed. She’s the advocate you want in the birthing room. She encourages you to stay fearless and in control. I am so happy with her service and thankful for her guidance."

Samantha Weiner

"Vonda is so knowledgeable and personable! Her Hypnobirthing class prepared my husband and I for all of the unexpected turns that came during the birth of our son. I highly recommend contacting her!"

Amanda Faye

"I had no idea what a doula was before meeting Vonda. Turns out that it's the best thing ever for new parents, especially Vonda. She has worked with so many expecting parents and medical staff that she can tell you exactly how to work with the system to get as close as possible to the exact birth you always dreamed of. The best part is that she can teach you how to go thru labor without fear and pain. You'll be amazed, like we were. As a father and the person my wife looked to for support throughout... I don't know how I could have done it without Vonda. I couldn't recommend her any more highly."

Sir Joshua Eaton

Vonda is truly a godsend. She has a wonderful calming presence. Her years of knowledge and ability to communicate is fantastic. The classes are well paced, easy to understand and empower you. This is my second go round with hypnobirthing and I'm so glad I have Vonda as my guide. Vonda is a invaluable resource.

Jennifer Eaton

"This was our 3rd child, but first home birth, so we decided to take the hypnobirthing class with Vonda. While in one of the class's with her she had us close our eyes and she spoke to us for about 20-25 minutes. She asked us how long that felt like and both my husband and I were thinking maybe 5 minutes, 10 at the most. We were amazed by how quickly the time passed and how relaxed we were. Later that night, on our way home we were talking about that experience and decided we wanted her to be our doula. The classes were very helpful and informative. I read the book before I knew there was a class. With me reading the book first, none of the breathing really clicked until Vonda went over it and showed us in the classes. So I would highly recommend the classes. It also helps having your husband there to be a part of it so he knows what to expect and he what to do.
 
Vonda has a very peaceful and nurturing presence about her. If you haven't met her yet, you will know what I am talking about when you do meet her.
 
When it came to my birth Vonda and Kiana were there within 30ish minutes of me letting them know my water broke. They were there to guide me, support me, and help me remember my breath work. They rubbed my feet, my legs, and were so encouraging.
 
I would highly recommend Vonda and Kiana to anyone who wants experienced doulas.

Ashliegh Bolen

"These classes were a complete change of perspective!! We learned that everything we thought we knew about labor and birthing was not true, and birthing can be a lot less painful and actually a beautiful experience, and it was! Those classes were definitely eye opening on alternative ways to go through labor to make it easier and less painful. My husband and I took these classes about 3 months before my due date and started practicing the breathing techniques together (which I still use to relax and fall asleep) and were able to incorporate them when I was in labor, and yes, they very much helped!! It taught my husband what to say and do to walk me through easier surges, and it taught me how to think and breathe through contractions. I will put what I learned from these classes in use in everyday life and most importantly, with every birth. I am thankful that i took them before my first birth as they were absolutely eye opening and presented us with concepts we never knew existed. If you plan to have a child naturally, you need to sign up, it will be one of the best investments for both parents and baby"

Brouj “Bee” Douglas

"I took the Hypnobirthing class with Vonda in Sept 2023 when due Dec 2023. This class was eye opening in a new way of viewing birth! I knew of the fearful way most people talked about birth but this class showed me there was another way!
My husband and I took the class together and we incorporated all the practices before and during labor! Some breath work I am still using postpartum!
I highly recommend taking this class with Vonda as it will give you a different perspective and a new learning method to tackle labor and delivery in a way that feels peaceful, natural and beautiful!"

Ayshka Castro

"My wife and I reached out to Doula Vonda during my second pregnancy for a hypnobirthing refresher course. It had been over 3 years since we used hypnobirthing with our first child and Vonda was the perfect person to help us. She was so kind and listened to our fears and what we needed help with. Needless to say, my labor was less than 4 hours long. No epidural or pain meds! I had the birth that we were hoping for. Highly recommended Vonda as a doula or hypnobirthing coach! Thank you so much!"

Ashley Augustyniak

"My husband and I took Vonda’s Hypnobirthing class in preparation for the birth of our daughter. Her calm demeanor, dedication to the Hypnobirthing program and passion for gentle births was quickly made evident. As a result of this class we felt better prepared for what was to come and were well equipped with the tools to needed to deeply relax and calmly meet the turns that our birth would take. We are so grateful to Vonda for being such an integral part of our birth team/experience. I would highly recommend this class to anyone searching for a well rounded childbirth education that is rooted in natural maternal instincts and ultimately a gentle birth."

Sierra McCarron

"My wife and I are awaiting our first-born and Vonda has been amazing in helping us deconstruct fears of child-birthing and developing a sense of calm, preparation and confidence toward birthing. The HypnoBirthing class has been essential in giving us tools to prepare mentally and physically for what's to come."
