I'm so happy I found Rochelle! Hypnobirthing® is putting my partner and I at ease and with Rochelle's help we feel more confident and comfortable about the whole birthing experience. Rochelle explains everything thoroughly especially about how the hypnosis works and how to achieve deep relaxation through it. My husband and I are learning so much and highly recommend Rochelle!

Meeting Rochelle is one of the best things to happen to me. Last year I was in recovery from major heart surgery with a 40% chance of survival. I couldn't sleep! After just a few over the phone sessions, I regained control of my sleep. It's been over a year but with Rochelle's coaching and techniques I am able to sleep whenever and wherever I want. I highly recommend Rochelle's hypnotherapy treatments — it's life saving! 👍🏽😇5.0 - Brian FeeGoogle Review

With Rochelle you immediately notice her thoughtfulness and empathy, alongside the insight she brings from experience. I thought of myself as resistant to hypnosis, but she put me at ease and guided me through simple practices like envisioning traveling to a place where I can enter into real relaxation. I was surprised that I responded so quickly and that my anxiety issues could be reframed in this safe and peaceful setting.5.0 - Bee PattersonGoogle Review

We can't recommend Rochelle and her Hypnobirthing® class enough! After having a traumatic birth experience with our first, we knew trying for a VBAC was going to require mental preparation. Rochelle was so patient, kind and knowledgeable. Her classes emphasize partner involvement and cover everything birth related. Using the techniques we learned brought us to a beautiful, calm beginning with our baby.5.0 - Avory JohnsonGoogle Review

I was in terrible pain after a car accident but Rochelle helped me feel better in our first visit. She taught me how to feel and walk better and after a few appointments I could use the relaxation and stop my pain medicine and sleep again. She lives in a different state but it didn't matter — we had zoom appointments. I didn't know that hypnosis could help so much and I am very happy.5.0
