Alison, Brady, and Coltrane
Angela is such a force for good and has the most positive energy in regards to birth. Both qualities made for the perfect HypnoBirthing instructor.
Angela came well prepared for each class with helpful birthing videos, both of natural birth performed within the hospital as well as at home, both with midwife-led care as well as nurse and OB care. She catered these classes to the women she taught, with my having a home birth and the other mother preferring a hospital birth. Angela also shared other videos to help visualize the natural process of the mother’s body surging and birthing the baby. Videos aside, Angela provided practical experiences during our sessions as well, reading through scripts that provided us with opportunities to fall into deep relaxation. She’d follow up with us and ask questions about our readings the previous week, ensuring we were doing our part to prepare outside of class.
And best of all, Angela provided the love and support I needed after the birth when I needed her professional advice on lactation. Angela took time out of her busy life to come by my home and help me work out the kinks of my and my newborn’s learning to breastfeed. That is the kind of person she is — generous and so giving of her resources and time. I can’t recommend working with Angela enough. She is truly a birth/lactation goddess, sharing wisdom and love and support to any and all women she can.
