So, why trust me to guide you through your birth journey?

That’s a great question—and one I’m so glad you’re asking.

I’m Marlene, a certified Hypnobirthing educator, Body Ready Method Pro®, and mindfulness practitioner with years of experience supporting families through one of the most transformative seasons of their lives.

My journey into birth work began with my own two very different birth experiences. During my son’s birth, I felt unprepared, disconnected, and unsure of how to truly support my body through labor. When I became pregnant with my daughter, I knew I wanted something different. That’s when I discovered Hypnobirthing and mindfulness—and everything changed. Her birth was calm, empowering, and deeply connected, a moment that showed me the strength we carry as mothers. That experience sparked my passion to help other families prepare for birth in a way that feels grounded, confident, and intentional.

Since then, I’ve spent the past four years teaching Hypnobirthing to families both in person and online. I’m certified by the Hypnobirthing Institute and Love Your Birth, and I’ve trained extensively with the Body Ready Method® to help parents prepare their bodies for birth through movement and biomechanics. I’ve supported families in hospitals, birth centers, and home births—helping them feel informed, prepared, and truly in tune with their bodies.

What I bring to my classes:

  • A holistic approach that combines evidence-based birth education, mindfulness, and body readiness.

  • Mindfulness practices that have been a part of my life since pregnancy, helping you find calm and confidence.

  • Tried and proven tools for both mind and body to help you feel strong, prepared, and at ease.

  • A deep belief that birth isn’t something that happens to you—it’s something you experience.

I’d be honored to guide you toward a birth that feels calm, connected, and uniquely yours.
