Birth Day a Kinder Way

Linda is a great Hypnobabies teacher and we feel so much more confident going into our birth with our twins! Linda was extremely flexible when we couldn’t make it to the first class and rescheduled with us to make sure we got all the material. She was also very warm and thoughtful throughout. I feel like Hypnobabies is a great avenue for anyone that wants to have a natural and stress-​free birth. We have so many tools now that we’ve taken the class and I’d highly recommend it!

Linda Cummings is awesome and her class was super informative for both me and my husband. I was definitely a little skeptical at first but finished the class confident and ready to pop out my baby naturally. The hypno tracks helped me through my labor waves and I was relaxed and «in the zone». Also, these tracks helped me get to sleep at night because they were so tranquilizing. I definitely recommend Linda and HypnoBabies to anyone looking to give birth naturally.

Linda’s hypnobabies classes were just what we needed to be confident in our ability to birth the way we really wanted to. We felt so confident after our classes that even my husband who has not held a baby since my nephews were young over 10 years ago was not a bit nervous about having our first child. She is very thorough in her classes, yes, sometimes they go longer than expected but I’m all for it. We definitely got our money’s worth. I had such an amazing birthing experience and I attribute all of it to my attitude while being pregnant and Linda’s classes. We also used Linda as our doula which was great because I felt so comfortable with her since we had created a relationship during our classes. Thank you Linda for everything, it really couldn’t have been more perfect.

We had the privilege of birthing our 2^nd baby with Linda as our Hypno-​Doula. We had used and loved hypnobabies with our first baby and had such a great experience, we knew wanted to use it again with our 2^nd baby. We found Linda through a recommendation and connected right away. She is very friendly and wonderful to work with. She was so helpful with our birthing process, guiding us in keeping everything progressing naturally. She helped support my husband in supporting me, and gave him needed breaks. She was always respectful, supportive, nurturing, and encouraging, knowing what I needed before I needed it and giving options in the birthing process. She kept Hypnobabies going for me and helped with prompts to stay calm and relaxed throughout. She took pictures for us as well, and we had a wonderful postpartum visit. She is a wonderful doula and we are honored that she was part of our birth!

My husband and I love Linda and love Hypnobabies; it was such a great experience both emotionally and educationally. I wanted to have a natural childbirth and feel confident in my decision. I found Linda from the Hypnobabies website and she was amazingly flexible and helpful. We started the classes over the holidays in December and she was available and open to work with our schedule and with our needs as our guess date was April 13^th and we wanted to have plenty of time before our little chunk was born to practice.
During our classes together, she really took her time to educate us, not just about hypnobabies, but also about the birthing process. Because this was our first child, I had a lot of questions and really appreciated how thorough Linda was in answering my questions, even if it was a «silly» one.
I chose hypnobabies because I wanted to be happy (and healthy) about my pregnancy and about the birth of my child, whom we tried for for several years, and I wanted to feel in charge! I wanted my little chunk to have the best possible entry into this world. I heard so many birthing stories about the harm in doctors using certain drugs and performing certain procedures that many women think of as normal, but ended up with severe side effects and in turn, hating their birthing story — I did not want that to be me. However, Linda was able to educate us about different solutions to the same problems or hiccups. By the end of the course, we felt 125% confident about our birth and were able to put into play what we had learned the day our little guy was born. I feel extremely proud of birthing a 9lb 14oz baby boy by myself, and when people make the comment, «oh wow, I’m surprised they didn’t have you get a C-​section because he was so big,» my response is always, «why do I need a C-​section, my body knows my baby and what it needs to do to get him to me.» You really do feel confident after taking this course.
I do want to mention that you have to be dedicated to the course and the homework Linda gives you; trust her, trust her methods, she absolutely loves each one of her couples. So happy we were able to find her and work with her.

My husband and I took Linda’s HypnoBabies course for our first child. We had a great experience. I found her through Beach Cities Midwifery. I knew I wanted a natural childbirth and, being a first time momma, I wasn’t sure what to use for my birth plan. I called Linda up one day with questions about the method and whether or not I could even still take the 6 week course (I was at that point pretty close to my due date). I remember that day and conversation so clearly because, not only was Linda so sweet, she really took the time to answer my questions and make me feel confident about choosing the birthing method. She got me registered to take the class that weekend and she came to us in our home! We felt very comfortable with Linda and she was so informative and prepared. We really looked forward to taking the class every week. It was so relaxing. I was so apprehensive and uncertain as to what to expect in delivering a baby. With this hypnotherapy course that Linda teaches, you’ll come out so confident, relaxed, knowledgable and, most of all for me, ready and excited to have the baby! I would not have changed a thing for the experience I got when having our baby. We had such a great experience and daddy was so happy to be my support and right by my side for the whole experience. Linda and HypnoBabies was absolutely 100% the reason we had what we experienced. And we will always have the hypnotic tools for relaxation for the future. I still use it when I breastfeed!

Hypnobabies is such a great childbirth education program and Linda is the best! She is very knowledgeable and thorough with all of the material– I learned so much from her! She is very down to earth and makes the class very comfortable and fun. By the end of the class you will feel 100% ready and excited about your upcoming birth! I highly recommend her!

My husband and I finished our Hypnobabies course with Linda the end of February. Because of my traumatic hospital birth with our first baby, I desperately sought out a gentle alternative and found Beach Cities Midwifery. They recommended Linda when I brought up wanting to take a hypno birth course. I called her and she sent me info and two free tracks to get started. She offers classes at the birth center which was super convenient and comfortable for us. Her personality is wonderful and she made us feel right at home the very first class. She’s confident, very knowledgeable and answered any questions that came up honestly and without hesitation. I looked forward to class every week and learned so much in six weeks, the course goes really in depth about preparing for your birthing time and beyond. Like they say, it’s an investment that you can use for the rest of your life. Our class size was small and intimate with only 4 couples (including us) so we were able to get to know each other and had a lot of fun :) Our second baby is due in May and I feel so much more confident and prepared (empowered, really) to give birth naturally with the help of Linda and Hypnobabies. I definitely recommend her if you are looking to take a Hypnobabies course!
