Hypnobirthing

Emily Shier, Ruby Vanderzee, and Gretchen Struve have been trained by Jenny West, Certified Mongon Method HypnoBirthing® Instructor, in HypnoBirthing® Doula Support Techniques. The studies they completed were designed for traditionally-trained doulas and have provided them with the specific techniques and philosophical information they need to professionally support HypnoBirthing® couples in hospital or home birth settings.
