Working with Amelia as our HypnoBirthing companion was truly transformative! Over the course of two months in September and October, she guided my husband and me with such kindness, humor, compassion, and grounded presence that after each in-person session, it felt as though we had known her for years. From the very beginning, Amelia created a warm, safe, and engaging space that allowed me to move from extreme fear and uncertainty about pregnancy and birth to feeling calm, confident, and genuinely excited for my birthing day.
My husband looked forward to every class, as Amelia gave him tangible, meaningful ways to support me during pregnancy and to be an active, empowered partner during labor. Her teachings not only brought the two of us closer, but also helped us deepen our bond with our baby and equipped us with tools we will continue to use throughout parenthood and in many parts of our personal and professional lives.
I am forever grateful to Amelia for sharing her knowledge and expertise in HypnoBirthing. She helped us prepare for the arrival of our baby boy with calm, clarity, peace, and joy and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide on this journey. I miss her dearly but will always take her spirit and teachings with me moving forward. What a gift she is to this world!

I can not recommend Amelia at Sarasota Hypnobirthing enough! Hypnobirthing 100% helped me have the peaceful, empowered, and unmedicated birth I was hoping for. Amelia is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and keeps the lessons educational, but relevant to you and your needs. She is also an incredible advocate! She helped me make one of the most impactful decisions in my birthing experience (changing my doula) because she recognized my reticence and encouraged me to follow my intuition.
I am so grateful for Amelia and hypnobirthing and 100% recommend both!!

Amelia is a wonderful person who is very knowledgeable about the techniques she teaches. She cares a great deal not just about her individual clients but the good of the community as a whole. As a peer, I will always recommend expecting families to her courses and I am so grateful to learn from her.

I had the best experience with Amelia as my doula and hypnobirthing teacher! She is such a beautiful person with beautiful energy that just made it so easy to learn from her. My confidence grew with each class. I recommend hypnobirthing to all! No matter what your birth plan is (meds/no meds, even a c section, etc) hypnobirthing will assist you and your baby to have a peaceful experience. Amelia’s knowledge and support helped me have such a peaceful, natural, and quick birth. I’m so thankful! She truly helped me have the best birthing experience. She was by my side the whole time doing whatever I needed to be comfortable. The whole experience was beautiful and empowering!

Amelia is absolutely fantastic. So grateful to have found her. She is passionate about Hypnobirthing and the birthing process in general. She is full of incredible knowledge and you can tell she really cares for her clients. It was such a pleasure working with her! I found her late in my pregnancy and she really helped to make sure we got all the classes in!
She came highly recommended to me and I can’t recommend her enough!
Thanks again Amelia💕

Amelia is an amazing instructor and is an asset to the HypnoBirthing community! Her class is worth it’s weight in gold. She is a wealth of knowledge! She radiates positivity and her energy promotes a calming environment. I have always feared birth but this class and Amelia have changed my perspective on it and I learned to embrace this beautiful process. Her class had a direct impact on my birth story (for the better) and I do not know what I would have done if I didn’t take this class. I will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know!

I met Amelia and I knew that she would be THE person who would accompany me during my delivery. I then knew that she was doing courses for natural childbirth, learning self-confidence, relaxing during this unique event, shared with her other half. These classes were extraordinary, we learned a lot there, and the exchange with other mothers was very interesting, we forged links. Then the big day for me arrived and she was there when I felt the need, and she stayed with me by my side for at least 18 hours of work. She was incredibly supportive, attentive, she calmed me down, an incredible doula.
Thank you Amélia ❤ you already know everything I think of you I will never thank you enough for everything you have given me. If you need a doula or if you are looking for childbirth support classes, don't hesitate and go for it !

I recently took the HypnoBirthing course with Amelia, and it was incredibly helpful to prepare my husband and I for birth. She is an amazing instructor with lots of valuable real-world experience. She teaches about the basics of labor, how to stay calm throughout, how to work together with your partner to achieve a peaceful, loving birthing space, and how to have the birthing experience you want. She also educates on many hospital policies and the real data behind each one to better prepare you for a hospital birth.
This class and Amelia were so fundamental in preparing my husband and I for birth. I can't recommend Amelia enough!
— Sherry Pittman
Amelia is such a gift! She (and her teaching) is compassionate, inspired, real, honest and so relatable. We are beyond grateful to have her as a resource for our upcoming birth and I can’t recommend her more for other mamas! Do yourself (and your baby) a favor and sign up for her Hypnobirthing series — or hire her as a doula — or both! ❤️
