About Lindsay

Hello! My name is Lindsay Osterhoudt and I live in Raleigh, NC. I was lucky enough to discover Hypnobabies during my first pregnancy, before the days of Facebook and Social Media! I believe if you don't know your options in birth then you don't have any options! I'm excited to share my knowledge of Hypnobabies with families so they can make the best decisions for themselves and their baby during pregnancy and birth. I am a registered Hypno-Doula through Hypnobabies® and a Hypnobabies® Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor. I have had the pleasure of teaching for seven years, teaching over 85+ families, as well as using Hypnobabies® for the birth of my own five children. Additionally, I'm a Body Ready Method Certified Birth Professional. I have been trained on how to help clients prepare their bodies to improve baby positioning and pelvic space. I've prepared with specific hands-on tools to encourage progress and address delays and I can help you advocate for the birth of your dreams!

I wanted to be more informed for my second birth, so I took Lindsay's Hypnobabies course, and she was my doula. We met many times during my pregnancy because she was the one teaching the course. The support I received from Lindsay was truly incredible. Lindsay is very quick to respond. I could text her anytime and she would reply in 5 minutes. She is knowledgeable, and if she didn't know, she would get back to me without needing to ask. She truly goes the extra mile to help you make informed decisions. She is unbiased and non-judgmental, and advocates for bodily autonomy. I was amazed at how my hypnobabies training, combined with Lindsay's care during my labor, helped me stay calm and relaxed the entire time. I was so relaxed and comfortable that I had an unplanned home birth with Lindsay (no midwife)! Words can't capture how life-changing it was in the best possible way. I love how attentive she was in changing my position, giving hip squeezes, providing cold towels, and staying with us, holding my baby while we navigated the hospital visit, etc. She goes the extra mile for her clients. I would highly recommend her services and hypnobabies (they pair excellent together) to a friend if you're looking for a calm, unmedicated birth experience!

Lindsay was so wonderful throughout my pregnancy and birthing time. She was there to talk about anything or questions I had. She helped me pinpoint exactly what was most important to me and was there for me during each unexpected change.

Initially I was so scared of doing birthing again; however, Lindsay came to the rescue! I greatly enjoyed her hypnobabies class; her class script readings made me feel as if I was happily floating; and I left the classes feeling better about what was to come! Lindsay's advice as a Doula contained pieces of wisdom that one just can't find on 'Mr Google'. As a Doula, she was smart, engaged, active, responsive and helpful in achieving our goals. I definitely recommend her Hypnobabies class and Doula services!
