In January, I made an intuitive decision to hire Serene as my doula for my homebirth as a first time mother. From the start, Serene and I clicked. She was highly qualified and very well informed, yes, but most of all she was real! Throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, Serene treated me like a human being rather than just a client. I like that our meetings about birth plans weren’t just about checklists but rather a conversation so that Serene could really get to know me, what I wanted for my birth and my child, and determine the best way to support me. And support me she did!! During my approximate 24 hour labor, Serene was by my side through it all guiding me emotionally and physically. She was my advocate, my healer, my advisor, my friend, and so much more. I could go on about my experience with Serene but I will end it with this- I’m so grateful I was led into Serene’s care for my first baby. Thank you Serene

Serena was truly one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy.
My husband and I chose to do private in-home HypnoBirthing classes with her, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. From the very first session, she created such a warm, comfortable, and judgment-free environment where we felt completely supported.
I went into the classes with so many questions, fears, and doubts about labor and birth, and Serena took the time to answer every single one with so much patience, knowledge, and kindness. By the end of our sessions, I felt so much more confident, prepared, and genuinely excited for birth instead of fearful.
What made the experience even more special was how personal it felt. These weren't just educational classes—they were conversations, stories, and moments that my husband and I will always remember. We laughed together, we cried together, and we learned so much as a team. Serena has such a beautiful way of teaching that keeps you engaged while making everything easy to understand and relatable.
My husband also absolutely loved the classes. He left each session feeling informed, confident in his role, and excited to support me throughout labor. It truly prepared both of us, not just me.
If you're considering HypnoBirthing, especially private in-home classes, I cannot recommend Serena enough. Her passion, compassion, and dedication shine through in everything she does, and we are so grateful to have had her as part of our birth journey. Thank you, Serena, for giving us knowledge, confidence, peace of mind, and such a memorable experience. We will always be grateful.

I did a tub rental with A Serene Birth, and the process was seamless. I used Empowered Bellies (Chelsea Burnett) as my doula, and she worked directly with Serene to make the process simple. We went with the option where we take the tub to the hospital with us to set up for a bit lower of a cost, and I was so happy that was an option! Highly recommend for a tub rental!!!

I recently completed the 5-week Hypnobirthing course taught by Serene, and it was truly one of the most empowering and calming experiences I’ve had during pregnancy. From the very first class, Serene created a peaceful, supportive environment where I felt safe to ask questions, open up about my fears, and learn how to reframe birth as a calm, confident, and natural process.
Each week built beautifully on the last — covering breathing techniques, visualization, relaxation practices, and how to work with your body rather than against it. Serene explained everything in such a grounded and compassionate way that even my partner felt more confident and prepared to be an active part of the birthing experience.
The relaxation recordings and affirmations she provided became part of my daily routine and helped me stay centered through the ups and downs of late pregnancy. By the end of the five weeks, I felt informed, empowered, and genuinely excited for labor instead of anxious.
If you’re considering hypnobirthing, I can’t recommend Serene’s classes enough. Her soothing energy, knowledge, and passion for helping women trust their bodies make this course a gift every expecting parent should give themselves. I cannot wait to have her as our birth doula and put what she taught us to use so I can have a redemptive second birth.

Serene is a kind & positive light to the world of birthing education! Highly recommend the Hypnobirthing class (especially for first timers) Not only is it helpful to be informed and educated, getting the warm and compassionate support from Serene is so appreciated!

This will be my third baby & my first vbac. I have had two prior traumatic birthing experiences. So knowing this, I wanted to give myself every possible tool in my toolbox to be able to have a successful unmedicated birth. Serene took so much time to answer all of my questions & release fear I had surrounding my bodies capabilities during birth. The techniques, affirmations, deep relaxation & so much more that I learned through this course I know that my birthing day will be so calming & amazing. 10/10 I highly highly recommend taking this course with Serene to absolutely everyone.

I am incredibly grateful I worked with Serene during the birth of my daughter this summer. From our consultation call, I knew she would be an incredible fit for our family. Serene's knowledge about birth, both from a medical and natural perspective, instilled a sense of confidence in me as I prepared for birth.
Together, we created a birth plan that I felt genuinely good about. I planned for a hospital birth with a wait-and-see approach for an epidural.
Throughout my overnight labor, Serene's focus on me was unwavering. Her presence in the hospital provided consistency of care, assuring me that everything was progressing well and helping me make important decisions. Her support was so beneficial for my husband, who found reassurance in knowing that my experiences were normal. So that he could just focus on caring for me and getting ready to meet our new baby.
During delivery Serene helped me stay focused on the ultimate goal. The final stretch was challenging but it was the most incredible moment of my life.
Looking back on my labor and delivery journey, I feel so proud of myself and my husband. Serene played a pivotal role in facilitating a positive and empowering experience for us. If and when we decide to expand our family, we will absolutely turn to Serene again. Her support and expertise made all the difference for me and my husband. I wish every family could have the support of a doula like Serene.

Serene helped my husband and I prepare for the birth of our first child immensely! After taking her course I felt empowered to advocate for myself and fully capable of facing any challenges birth may present. If you take the time to read the provided literature and practice the course is well worth the time and money spent.
