Doula Insights: Jessica’s Lessons from Hypnobirthing Classes

By: Care Messer | Birth Doula, Hypnobirthing, Podcast | November 13, 2025


In this last episode of doula education, you get to meet Jessica, a new doula, as she reflects on what she learned from these parents while attending our hypnobirthing class series. Jessica and I discuss each of the five classes. I have loved seeing what each doula has noticed per class because it shows just how much our own lived experiences influence what we are most needing in birth education. 

The main topics Jessica pulled from the series was the importance of childbirth education, pushing techniques, the role of partners, and all the ways to stay calm and grounded during labor. We also covered personal experiences, including Jessica’s own birth stories when she had NO childbirth education and how they shaped her approach as a doula. Perfect for both new and seasoned doulas as well as expecting parents looking for practical birthing advice.

If you are needing more support as a doula with your mindset and daily practice – you can download my Doula Mindset Ebook and Business Meditations to build your self-confidence and help you with looking towards yourself for the answers you seek. Being solo in the birth room doesn’t have to be daunting. You have all you need inside. (19.99)
