Our Newest Hypnobabies Instructor

Kayla Smith announced a few days ago that she is officially a certified Hypnobabies instructor. Kate Cropp and myself (Leigh Anne Hancock) are happy to have another instructor join our ranks. Kayla is a doula with Nashville Birth and Babies and wanted to be able to reach even more couples through teaching. Kayla herself used Hypnobabies with her second son's birth. Kayla lives in the Nashville area and plans to teach at our Brentwood location on Sunday afternoons. If you've been wanting a weekend class, check out our calendar and see if one of her classes will fit your schedule. Kayla was so excited when her certification went through, she posted this on her Facebook page:

"I'm officially a certified Hypnobabies instructor!!
At the risk of sounding dramatic, I want to thank some people!

Thanks to Bess Greevy for telling me at 36 weeks pregnant with my first, "you need a doula" and giving me the email address for arguably the best doula in town at the time.

Thanks to the amazing, beautiful and passionate Micky Jones for empowering me to have the best births for me and introducing me to the "birth world" and Hypnobabies. 

Also thanks to Micky and Sarah Parker McKay for the doula training that undoubtedly helped this process.

Thanks to Kerry Tuschoff, Carole Thorpe, & Kim Gross for the work that went in to putting this program together and training so many people and putting the hours in to read & grade exams. Thank you for what you are providing for expectant Moms & their birth partners.

Thanks to Kate Cropp & Leigh Anne Hancock for the wise words and encouragement that helped me push forward.

Thanks to Kate, for her support, interest, and encouragement.

Thanks to Ryan Smith who kept the boys on his own while I was in New Orleans for six days being trained and who made sure they were taken care of when I needed to work toward this goal. Who supported my desire to do something I love and who has sacrificed to see it happen. 

And praise to GOD from whom all blessings flow!

I'm sure that there are more! Thanks to all my friends and family!"
