What if you could transform your childbirth experience into something empowering? Join us as we sit down with Nicolle Kasch, an expert in the intriguing world of hypnobirthing. As a certified hypnotherapist and fervent advocate of fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and more, Nicolle beautifully illuminates the mysteries surrounding hypnobirthing. She teaches us how this comprehensive method, with techniques like affirmations, deep breathing, rapid relaxation, visualizations, and hypnosis, can reduce pain and fear during childbirth.  Hypnobirthing is not just about the birthing process; its benefits extend into the postpartum stage. Postpartum is a crucial phase for both the mother and the newborn, and Nicolle introduces us to how hypnobirthing techniques can aid in nursing, milk creation, body healing, and even co-regulating both mom and baby.
