Childbirth classes in NYC & Southampton —
Personalized Doula Support —
Confident Birth with Maeva, HypnoDoula
Prepare your Body and Mind for birth with one of the most comprehensive childbirth class in NYC, blending mindfulness, hypnosis and hands on guidance to help you feel supported and prepared for your baby’s arrival.
What we cover in the Confident Birth class
Breaking the Fear–Tension–Pain Cycle
Fear causes tension. Tension intensifies pain. Pain fuels more fear. Our work focuses on addressing your fears to interrupt this cycle — so you can work with your body instead of against it.
Learning Mind–Body Tools
You will practice daily tools like breathwork, affirmations, viusalization and tapping (EFT) to release fear and learn to soften instead of tensing during contractions.
Partner Preparation
Birth is teamwork. We will teach your partner practical, hands-on techniques to comfort and support you — so you both enter labor feeling confident and connected.
Spinning Babies®
Exercises for optimal fetal positioning to encourage a smoother labor.
Post-Partum Planning
We will design a postpartum plan that supports your physical recovery, emotional balance, and rest — including nourishment, community support, partner communication, and space to process your birth story.
Meet Maeva
I’m Maeva — a certified childbirth educator, doula and mindfulness guide with over a decade of experience supporting NYC families through pregnancy, labor and postpartum.
My work weaves together the wisdom of HypnoBirthing®, Spinning Babies®, and mindfulness meditation — a holistic approach that helps you release fear, prepare mentally and trust your innate power to birth.
After training with pioneers like Marie Mongan, Penny Simkin, and Gail Tully, I created my own comprehensive method Confident Birth to help women move through birth not just prepared physically but also mentally.
I believe birth isn't something that just happens to you — it is an experience you can participate in and meet with calm and confidence.
