About me

My name is Mandie Medford and I am a HypnoBirthing childbirth educator with 14 years experience teaching this program, and I’ve had the honor and privilege of serving over 1,000 families in the Las Vegas/North Las Vegas and Henderson area since 2008. My heart has always been in teaching and my primary role as a birth professional has always been in education. I have 3 children and all were born unmedicated, using the HypnoBirthing method. My children are the reason I do this work and my first pregnancy and birth set me on my path as a birth worker. I am extremely passionate about birth, and believe that every parent deserves to know what their options are and how to have an empowering birth experience. I’m also so very passionate because babies deserve to be welcomed into the world in an atmosphere of JOY rather than fear and stress. The tools that are taught in our classes help parents experience birth in a gentle, calm and comfortable way.

Service introduction

HypnoBirthing is a COMPLETE and all inclusive childbirth education program that takes place as a series of 5 class sessions which take place once per week. Each class is 3 hours in length. Expectant parents will learn many different techniques including relaxation, breathing, visualization, self-hypnosis and affirmations for a calm and comfortable birth. These tools will help parents throughout the pregnancy, labor and birth and beyond! In addition, we cover and overview of labor & positions for labor and birth, creating a birth plan, comfort measures/massage techniques, nutrition, exercise postpartum and more! Our philosophy is based on the belief that birth is natural, normal and healthy for healthy women and their healthy babies; that severe discomfort does not have to accompany labor when a mother is properly prepared and trusts her body. You’ll learn how the mind affects the body, how fear affects labor and why it doesn’t have to and how the birthing muscles and hormones work in your favor on the birth-day!
