HypnoBirthing Boulder

Melissa,
I wanted to take a brief moment and share how wonderful it has been to get to know you and meet you. I will say that I do not believe that Jamie (my wife), or myself would have made it through the birthing process without your class, your coaching and your advice. The experience that we had with Doulananda was one that cannot be fully expressed in words and is worth more than any bank account could hold.
In a simple phrase, what Doulananda services provide is: The Piece of Mind for Husband and Wife so that our child could enter Peacefully into this world!
I will be the first to admit that when my wife brought the idea of taking hypnobirthing classes to my attention, I pushed it off and thought it would be a waste of time. My profession has me in the Operating Room and Surgical Suites on a daily basis, with multiple touch points and close relations with OB/​GYN Surgeons. Having close connections and interactions with surgeons, specifically, OB’s, I never thought anything different than having our children in hospitals. I figured, since I worked at all of them, I knew enough people and my way around, that it would be a great experience. Reality was it was a completely different story…
My Wife and I attended Melissa Johnson’s Hypnobirthing class, and this was a huge game changer when it came time to deliver our child. This class brought peace of mind to the birthing process, as well as ensured that we had prepared a plan for our child’s birth. Even though we took the class once, we plan on taking it again before the births of our next children. This was an exceptional class with calming and relaxation methods that truly work. I am an extremely busy person, and for Melissa to be able to bring my mind at ease was a huge success and for that I am extremely grateful!
Looking back, after our daughter’s birth, there are some things we plan to do different for the next child. We are truly blessed with our daughter and we feel that she came into this world as was intended for our paths at that time. However, now knowing what the hospital experience is like, we plan to ensure we have Melissa lined up for our Doula, and are going to try to deliver at a birthing center. These are our plans for now and will post a review after the happenings.
In conclusion, if you are thinking about taking a Hypnobirthing Class, I highly encourage it! I was extremely skeptical at first, but am now so thankful that I took the class with Melissa Johnson. Secondly, from my experience in the hospital situation, we will definitely be hiring a Doula for the next birth. Even with knowing the hospital staff and knowing the ins-​and-​outs of a hospital, the birth of a child is very special, and having a doula present will allow me the opportunity to just be with my wife, and the doula will be able to handle all of the other challenging questions and happenings.
Melissa, thank you for your services and all that you do to educate on how to create a peaceful, memorable and joyous birthing experience!
Thank you,
John L., BSME
