Oceanside

The Birth Circle
Pheobe Simkins, CHBP/Doula
I offer HypnoBirthing Classes in N. San Diego County California. My classes are four two and a half hour session every on Tuesday evenings in Oceanside, CA. I truly believe that every women has the right to birth the way nature intended: in a short period of time, with little to no discomfort. HypnoBirthing does not teach moms how to give birth. Women already know how. HypnoBirthing teaches you the invaluable lesson that the power to birth with ease, lies within YOUR own mind and body. I also offer doula services to people in N. County. My doula service includes HypnoBirthing classes. Happy Birthing!
