Stretching & Hypnosis for Mothers 

Hello! I’m Kyanna. Like you, I have many passions. I am a mother, a physio-kinesiologist certified in the Joe Hippensteel stretching method, and am in the process of becoming a certified Hypnobabies childbirth hypnosis instructor. Read on to find out more about these areas of work and how I can help you during and after pregnancy. You can also learn a bit more about me here.

In my stretching work, I help many different types of people - competitive athletes, youth, seniors, office-workers, and people with chronic discomfort from old injuries.

I also deeply enjoy working with pregnant and post-partum women for their stretching needs. I know from personal experience the value of finding the right kinds of movement that fit your body’s needs during pregnancy. And I know how good it feels to release knots and relieve deep areas of tension that can build up during the post-partum months and beyond.

If you are a pregnant or post-partum woman, a new mom, a nursing mom, or still in the phase of carrying kids on one hip while cooking dinner and doing chores, then you might have some areas of tension that you’d like assistance with relieving. My stretching program is a great fit for women in all ages and stages and I’d love to work with you.

On the childbirth side of things, when I am fully certified, I will teach pregnant women how to naturally prepare for childbirth using Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing. Hypnobabies teaches students medical-grade somnambulistic hypnosis techniques. Somnambulisitc hypnosis is used as anesthesia during dental and other surgical procedures when patients are allergic to anesthesia.

If you are pregnant and currently studying Hypnobabies, I will soon be accepting students for Hypnobabies Home Study Advantage (HSA) sessions. This is a private, 3 hour session, just for you and your birth partner, ideally in your home. These HSA sessions are for women who have completed the Hypnobabies Self-Study Course on their own and need a little extra boost. During the session, I will help you pull all of your Hypnobabies techniques and cues together, so you can gain confidence in how to use them. We will do a Birth Rehearsal, tailored to your preferences for an ideal birthing time. And we will go over the Birth Partners Guide, talk about the progress of birthing, discuss transformation time, and demonstrate 2nd stage birthing positions.

I did one of these sessions when I was pregnant, and it really helped me feel confident and prepared for a Hypnobabies birth.
