Hypnobirthing, Newborn Care, Nutrition & Support Groups

At Tree of Life, we believe every birth can be a peaceful and beautiful experience, and every new parent can have a confident beginning. We created our birth and baby care courses to ensure you have the information & tools you need to feel prepared. We created our Seeds of Knowledge series, including Nutrition, Creating a Sacred Space, and Newborn Nuances, and encourage you to take all three classes!

Hypnobirthing Classes

5-Week Series

®How do you practice giving birth? You really can’t, thank God! What you can do is practice “feeling” safe, confident, and relaxed by learning meditations, affirmations and relaxation techniques so that in the moment of birth you return to those feelings easily.

Hypnobirthing® is a 6 week childbirth preparation method that uses mindfulness and deep relaxation techniques to help women manage pain and discomfort during labor.

Benefits include reduced pain perception, enhanced relaxation and coping mechanisms, increased sense of control and empowerment, and a potential for shorter labor and less medical intervention (although this is not guaranteed).

Our HypnoBirthing® classes are facilitated by the highly experienced and compassionate Julie Deyo, RN, RYT, HBCE, CLC. Julie brings a wealth of knowledge and a holistic approach to every session. Julie is dedicated to guiding you towards a positive and empowering birth experience.

You do not have to be a Tree of Life client to take these classes at our Center. Register through Triplicity Wellness.

What is Hypnobirthing® and how will it help me have the birth I want?

Hypnobirthing® is a childbirth preparation method that teaches deep relaxation, breathing techniques, and positive visualization to help you stay calm and focused during labor. Rather than being “hypnotized,” you learn to release fear and tension so your body can work naturally and efficiently.

At the birth center, Hypnobirthing® can:

Reduce stress and discomfort by keeping you relaxed.
Support a natural, low-intervention birth.
Help your partner play an active support role.
Build confidence so you feel prepared and in control.

This approach fits beautifully with our calm, home-like setting and helps many families achieve the peaceful birth they envision.

Creating a Sacred Space for the Soul in preparation for childbirth involves nurturing the body, mind, and spirit in an environment that fosters peace, connection, and empowerment.

In this 3 hour class you discover what is sacred for you and how to create an environment to hold the feeling of sacredness. Through mantras, sacred prayer flags, your own personalized essential oil, touch from your partner, and sound you will gain the tools to create the sacred space you desire and need to experience the birth of your dreams.
