Episode 26: "Healing from Birth Trauma with Hypnotherapy" with Michelle Lockett, Hypnotherapist & Doula

Today I chat with doula, certified hypnotherapist, hypnodoula, and hypnobabies instructor Michelle Lockett. Michelle is also a mom to two and part of our local doula collective Capital City Doulas as well.  In the episode we chat about: How her healing second birth led her into birth work. The dire importance of rallying support after you have a baby. Processing our fear surrounding birth and parenthood. What a hypnotherapy session looks like Having a fund at your baby shower for a postpartum doula or birth doula instead of getting more baby stuff. How the whole first year of your baby's life is when you are giving birth to yourself as a mother.   The blog post I mentioned about a moms group for moms who don't want to talk about being moms can be found here. Locally, I mentioned Midtown Lactation Consultants and you can find them here.  You can find out more about Michelle's Doula and Hypnotherapy Services and classes here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As always, please consider subscribing and leaving a review on iTunes here. Your reviews really help the show out because they allow it to be more visible so that we can reach more moms.

Om Podcasten

In this biweekly podcast, Kellie Edson, childbirth educator-in-training chats with both birth professionals and regular moms about all aspects of the transition to parenthood. Whether this is your first child or your tenth, I hope that you gain new knowledge, insights or just plain old comfort from this twice per month show. This podcast was born out of the belief that with each child born, a mother is born (or reborn) and that transition in all of its messy, beautiful chaos deserves to be honored, supported, and celebrated.
