Do you want to be a part of building a calm world one birth at a time? Find out more here about my HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Education Classes!
HypnoBirthing® helps build confidence in the birthing person’s ability to intuitively approach labor and birth through education and overcoming fears about birth. Childbirth is a sacred journey that can be healing, peaceful and empowering.
You can expect to learn, practice, and grow in this class, making decisions to support a birth experience that is peaceful, safe, and gentle for you and your family. The class shares all sides of birthing so no matter where or how you choose to birth, you feel confident that your decisions align with your birth preferences in your birth plan.
Birth is a normal and natural part of life, as unique as each of us.
HypnoBirthing® founder Marie Mongan believed every person giving birth should experience a safe, comfortable and satisfying birthing for themself and baby.
I agree, which is why I am a certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator!
HypnoBirthing® is a natural childbirth education class to support an informed, gentle and positive birth experience for birthing persons and partners.
Hypnobirthing® teaches self-hypnosis as a tool for harnessing the mind to quickly become deeply focused during any discomforts of labor and birth. The self-hypnosis techniques are practiced by both the birthing person and birthing companion throughout the 5 week series and deeply integrated into a personal practice for you and your body and mind using breath, affirmations, guided imagery.
“A normal physiological process does not need assistance. It needs only the patience of birth attendants to resist the temptation to disturb its rhythm and flow in the absence of special circumstances.” Marie F. Mongan, M.Ed, M.Ht.
In addition to teaching self-hypnosis tools and techniques, classes provide answers to important questions on all the phases and stages of pregnancy, labor, birth, and the fourth trimester. HypnoBirthing supports the family in all decisions and choices for the birth path. The HypnoBirthing® technique is used by thousands globally and is promoting the value of a positive, gentle, and natural birth experience.
You will learn how to support the birthing person and connect with each other.
The Hypnobirthing® philosophy and approach supports making informed choices and decisions. It allows birthing families to examine their own beliefs and desires about their birth with dignity and respect.

Hi, I’m Liz Scheffey.
I am deeply passionate about providing babies, parents, and birth partners with the tools they need to thrive during pregnancy and birth. I am blessed to be a mother of three adult children and a grandmother to two beautiful grandchildren—each of whose births unfolded in their own unique way and their own perfect time. I wish that I had had the opportunity to take a hypnobirthing course, but I am grateful that I was able to be clear about my birth preferences, and fully supported by my birth team. I am grateful to be here today, and able to offer this class to you!

“Liz has a wonderful, calming demeanor. I walked away each session feeling at ease – a feeling I brought with me into my labor. Liz’s class gave me confidence that I could have an empowered birth, and gave my husband confidence that he could support me in whatever way I needed. We loved working with Liz and would recommend it for anyone looking to deepen their birth experience.”
“Attending this hypnobirthing class was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. The techniques taught were empowering and transformative, helping me to approach childbirth with a sense of calm and confidence. Liz’s knowledge, warmth, and support created a nurturing environment where I felt fully prepared for the birthing process with my partner. Thanks to this class, I had the most positive and serene birth experience, and I am incredibly grateful for the invaluable tools and insights I gained. I highly recommend Liz to any expectant parent and their partners!”
