Summary

Kerry Tuschhoff, founder and director of Hypnobabies®

, brings a wealth of experience as a childbirth educator, doula, speaker, and hypnotherapist to the realm of hypnobirthing. Inspired by her own challenging birth experiences and a TV show about hypnosis for childbirth, she meticulously studied hypnotherapy and pain management to develop Hypnobabies®

, which integrates hypno-anesthesia techniques for effective pain relief during labor. Her program not only empowers expectant parents to make informed decisions regarding interventions such as epidurals and episiotomies but also emphasizes the role of birth partners in maintaining a calm and supportive environment. Kerry champions the idea that consistent practice of hypnosis techniques, paired with a positive mindset and self-advocacy, can significantly enhance the birthing experience, making it more comfortable and holistic.
