IN-PERSON CHILDBIRTH CLASSES IN NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY

"My wife & I knew from the very moment we met Rachel, our childbirth experience would be as incredible & as beautiful as she made us feel throughout our time spent with her. Her passionate views about childbirth shine through her as if it was a gift that she wanted to share with just us. I truly cannot thank Rachel enough for allowing my wife & me the opportunity to rid ourselves of any the fears we may of had about the birthing experience. anyone lucky enough to have Rachel guide them through the process will definitely benefit from her teachings. I highly recommend her as your mentor!"

"My husband & I were lucky enough to attend Rachel's hypnobirthing class to prepare me for my first birth. We learned so much & I TRULY feel that she played a HUGE role in assisting me for my dream birth which went EXACTLY as planned! Her educational materials, practice of techniques & most of all encouragement really made me feel ready to experience the most physical & challenging moments of my life. I was lucky enough to have a very short labor (4 hrs) & birth which I confidently completed 100% drug & intervention free! Words cannot describe how much I would recommend her class if not only to be fully educated on your options as a strong woman BEFORE being in the thick of labor. Thanks Rachel!!!!"

"We had a fantastic experience with Rachel's hypnobirthing class. She was a wealth of information & very open to answering questions beyond the criteria of the course itself that were very helpful for us as clueless first time parents! Our main goal for this class was to educate ourselves in an attempt to quell the fears of childbirth that are often conveyed in pop culture. By the time we finished, we were confident in the process & much better informed about everything. Rachel did not pass judgment for the fact that we still intended to have a medicated birth - however, with the confidence that we built in the class, my wife ended up having a completely unmedicated birth because she was coping so well. Pretty inspiring experience if you ask me!"

"Rachel is one of the most kind & gentle souls I have ever met. She has counseled me & shared her advice on VBACs & getting pregnant again after experiencing the physical &b emotional traumas of an unnecessary c-section with my first baby. She seems to be part therapist, part doula/midwife, part teacher & all amazing! Her vast knowledge & obvious passion for all things holistic-natural-childbirth puts me at ease & is incredibly reassuring & empowering. I am very lucky to have her as a resource in my life & would recommend her to anyone seeking a beautiful pregnancy & birthing experience."

"My husband & I were blessed to have Rachel's support through the pregnancy & birth of our daughter. She continues to be my go-to for homeopathic & educational needs for body & mind. She is filled with kindness, positivity & passion for mothers, natural birth & the entire process. An incredible spirit & gift to all who know & experience her love."

"Rachel is an amazing instructor. I learned a lot in the five week course & now feel more confident that I can have an unmedicated birth. I also feel if things do not go according to my birth plan, I have the knowledge to make the best decision for myself & my child.  Rachel is very knowledgeable & supportive of every person within the class. I had a hard time adjusting to the relaxation techniques & Rachel helped me to better relax & was understanding that it isn't something that I could easily do. I now have the confidence I need to have the birth my husband & I want. I appreciate that Rachel is still available to answer my questions via e-mail even though the class is over. If you want to take a hypnobirthing class, Rachel is the one to take it from!!"
