A gentle transition into motherhood

Professional hypnosis training for practitioners, so you can help families move calmly and confidently through conception, birth, and the early months with baby.

FERTILITY

Learn the essentials for supporting the journey to conception. Each fertility client’s experience is unique, and this training offers flexible protocols for both group and individual sessions.

​Grounded in an understanding of the emotions and challenges commonly woven into fertility work, the HypnoMothering course prepares you to help clients lay the groundwork for success.

LESSONS INCLUDE:

  • Physiology of conception
    Going beyond a surface understanding, you’ll learn the reproductive physiology most relevant to hypnosis, preparing you to choose and time hypnotic processes that support balance and energy on the path to conception.
  • Overview of common fertility challenges
    You likely already know that helping people with fertility cannot be a "one-size-fits-all" approach. 
     You'll learn flexible tools and frameworks so you're ready to meet your clients wherever they are on the path to parenthood.
  • Balancing compassionate and clinical language
    The clinical vocabulary that surrounds “infertility” can foster unconscious limitations. 
    In this training, we'll practice language shifts that encourage thinking shifts, so you'll help clients combine realism with optimism, inviting hope and balance to their experience.
  • Understanding fertility clients’ emotional landscapes
    Emotions are the language of the subconscious mind. You’ll explore how unspoken grief, fear, or guilt can
    shape a client’s conception experience, and how hypnotic resolution can open the way to profound change.
  • Supporting clients using IUI and IVF
    Develop confidence in supporting clients through assisted reproduction. You’ll gain a clear understanding of what these procedures involve and how hypnosis can help ease stress, increase receptivity, and foster emotional steadiness throughout each stage.
  • Self-hypnosis methods to encourage conception
    Empower your clients and their partners with simple, effective self-hypnosis tools that calm the nervous system, invite balanced hormonal rhythms, and cultivate mind–body harmony that supports conception.
  • Changework techniques for releasing blocks
    Profound hypnotic resolution doesn't have to be complicated. Learn straightforward, practical changework so you can help clients to dissolve subconscious barriers, making way for relief, renewal, and readiness for what’s next.
  • Three- to six-session protocol structure
    New to hypnosis? You'll easily be able to plug-and-play the session 
    protocols directly into your practice. Already trained & seeing clients? You'll see how easy it is to integrate these methods into your existing programs.
  • Flexible tools and resources for group sessions
    Some clients find deep comfort
    in shared experience. You’ll learn how to adapt fertility hypnosis for small groups, creating supportive communities that encourage hope and healing.

CHILDBIRTH

Finally, a grounded, flexible childbirth protocol for the hypnotherapist.

This training stands apart from one-size-fits-all programs built around rigid methodologies. It is fully client-centered, rooted in sound hypnotic principles, and carefully aligned with a hypnotherapist’s scope of practice. The content avoids adversarial “us versus them” narratives around medical care.

Instead, the program focuses on the hypnotic foundations that reliably support calm, confidence, and adaptive resources during labor and birth. The emphasis is on perception, nervous system regulation, expectancy, and clear thinking under pressure, without drifting into medical advice or prescriptive ideology.

You can work with individuals or groups and easily tailor the material to each client’s needs. The framework supports both streamlined single-session work and a complete four-session experience, giving you flexibility without sacrificing coherence or depth.

LESSONS INCLUDE:

  • Understanding the physiology of labor and birth
    Learn the essential foundations so you can help clients experience labor as something to work with rather than fight against. You’ll be able to explain birth physiology in language that supports trust, confidence, and calm, while creating a strong foundation for the hypnotic tools that follow.
  • How relaxation helps labor
    Discover how the relaxation response supports the progress of labor and influences the perception of sensations. You’ll learn to teach your clients self-hypnosis tools that help them meet labor with calm, relaxed resources.
  • Inclusive techniques for a calm, confident birth
    Every person, every baby, and every labor is unique. These methods can be integrated into a wide range of birth settings and with different providers, supporting clients in working with their bodies and minds through the journey they plan for, as well as any detours that arise along the way.
  • Anchoring hypnotic tools so they take root
    You’ll learn step-by-step strategies for helping clients internalize hypnotic cues, so they can focus with calm and confidence throughout labor.
  • Building self-advocacy skills that empower clients
    Confidence and communication go hand in hand. In this program, you’ll learn birth-specific prompts and practical questions you can teach clients, helping them to engage collaboratively with providers, and stay centered as they make informed choices.
  • Equipping partners with clear support tools
    Birth partners want to help but often aren’t sure how. You’ll be ready to share specific techniques that help them show up with calm and presence of mind.
  • Practice management: teaching groups or individuals, pricing, and marketing
    Drawing on Tracy’s years of experience running a full-time hypnotherapy practice and teaching group childbirth classes, you’ll learn practical approaches to building referral relationships and setting pricing that reflect your expertise, so you can grow your practice.

POSTPARTUM

Prepare to teach mothers how to use hypnosis for a gentle transition through the challenging postpartum months.

Developed by two mothers of twins, this thoughtful course gives you everything you need to support clients during the early weeks after birth.

This is a structured, ready-to-teach three-hour session designed to fit seamlessly into your childbirth education practice.

LESSONS INCLUDE:

  • Rapid techniques for deep relaxation, mindfulness, and balance
    Who has bandwidth to relax when there’s a new baby? Your clients will. Learn quick, effective methods so you can help new mothers calm their bodies and minds in moments of overwhelm, restoring balance in even the busiest seasons.
  • Quick self-hypnosis to access positive emotions, even on tough days
    Postpartum emotions can be a wild ride. You’ll learn self-hypnosis practices designed specifically for new mothers so they can regain focus and emotional steadiness, even when everything feels foggy or unpredictable.
  • Strategies to make the most of limited sleep
    Sleep disruption is one of the biggest challenges in early parenthood. The straightforward hypnotic strategies and supports you can teach your clients will help these new mothers rest more efficiently, recover faster, and feel refreshed, even when total sleep hours are short.
  • Hypnosis tools to strengthen bonding and confidence
    No two love stories are alike, yet many new parents feel anxious about bonding. This program presents easy-to-learn approaches so clients release tension and self-doubt, making room for deeper connection, confidence, and trust in their natural instincts.
  • Practical methods for redefining a new normal
    Who am I now? Use the practical hypnotic tools in this program to help your clients integrate evolving roles, navigate priorities, and stay grounded in their sense of self.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I'm Tracy.

I'm Tracy.

If you’re drawn to supporting women through the powerful transitions of fertility, birth, and beyond, I’m right there with you. I’m a clinical hypnotherapist and educator based in Seattle, Washington, specializing in integrative medical hypnosis for physical pain, neurological conditions, insomnia, fertility, childbirth, and menopause. I’m also a birth assistant (doula), childbirth educator, and fertility hypnosis specialist.

Since 2011, I’ve worked with more than 2,500 people to develop the mindset and skillset for working with their bodies toward a positive, empowering birth experience. I’ve also trained hundreds of practitioners worldwide to do the same.

The path to parenthood can be lonely, exciting, scary, thrilling, and exhausting. Yet I believe that within every challenge there’s room for calm, confidence, and connection. My work is grounded in helping people access that space, whether in birth, healing, or personal change.

As a certified instructor with both the IMDHA and ICBCH, and co-creator of the ICBCH Integrative Medical Hypnosis Certification Program, I’m passionate about teaching in a way that brings clarity, depth, and practicality to complex topics.

I’m also the creator and author of the HypnoMothering® programs for fertility, childbirth, and early parenting, and programs for hypnotherapists such as:

 • The CLEAR Sleep Hypnosis Protocol
 • The Gentle Menopause Program

My approach blends evidence-informed hypnosis with compassion and curiosity, helping both clients and practitioners discover the mind’s natural capacity for calm, resilience, and growth.

I met Tracy after 4 failed IVF Cycles when I felt like a failure and I needed something to help me just feel like myself again ... I found a sense of calm and acceptance that I hadn't been able to find in the 30+ months of trying to conceive. Her steady voice and beautiful words changed me.

Mayan, Unexplained Infertility

I found this class helpful to … learn techniques to calm my mood if feeling overwhelmed or frustrated. I have already used the 3 breathing techniques and positive imagery and found myself feeling more “at ease” in the situation at hand. Thanks for having such a powerful course that can help in parenting and beyond.

Amy, First Time Parent

Because of this class, I was able to remain calm, relax in between contractions enough to make it through 40 hours of labor, and ultimately have the birth that I wanted. I think even if I weren't able to deliver naturally as planned, I would have felt prepared to shift circumstances with minimal issues. I will definitely go back for the next baby.
