Childbirth Education Classes
We offer two different Childbirth Education CoursesOur basic childbirth education course is designed to educate you and your partner for a more empowered and positive birth experience.Just as each birth is unique, the process remains beautifully constant. Our childbirth education series is a four-week session, and each session is approximately 2.5 hours in length.
HypnoBirthing® is a program that is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition, and positive body toning. Through a very simple program of self-hypnosis and education, healthy, low-risk women, as well as women who need medical assistance because of special circumstances, learn to dismiss fear-based stories, misinformation, and birthing myths; and they are helped to see birth as normal. They learn to trust that their bodies know how to bring their babies into the world in the calm and gentle way: the way that nature intended.Each Hypnobirthing series is comprised of 5 weekly sessions, and each session is approximately 2.5 hours in length.

Testimonials
How We’ve Helped
Even tho this princess was born in a hospital…from 850 miles away we were blessed to have Koryn help us get this little girl here save & quick! Thank you so much for spending the time on the phone with us, your tips and tricks were AMAZING!
Steph Holden
We used Kiaha for both Doula and Hypnobirthing services and we couldn’t recommend her enough! She was very patient and understanding of our wishes for having a natural birth. This was our first birth and we honestly didn’t know that we could have a very calming, spiritual, personal birth as society has painted child birth as painful, rushed, and out of our control. Even though I gave birth in a hospital setting (as there aren’t any birthing centers in Pueblo) I still had full control of my labor and fortunately the Doctors and LDNs respected my wishes for my birth plan. Kiaha was so helpful during the weeks prior to birth teaching us about Hypnobirthing and I firmly believe because of it I was able to have a pain free birth without medication. She’s very attentive to the families she works with and always follows up with us. I appreciated having her by my side to help me through labor so my husband could help out in other ways. I highly recommend using Kiaha for both her Doula and Hypnobirthing services!
Heather Meyer
Koryn has been an amazing doula throughout my pregnancy. She was always a call/text away with advice, love, and wisdom. She was so helpful and answered all my questions with grace. I attribute my wonderful natural birth to her help. She has been a blessing and valuable resource through my pregnancy!
Chelsea Stockton
I just gave birth to my second child. It was amazing! My first birth was at the hospital, induced, and with an epidural. With my first I wanted to go unmedicated but that didn’t happen, I was trying to educate myself but what I was missing was support. Taylor and her team gave me exactly what I needed. They gave me support. They let me read all their books (‘Birthing From Within’ was my favorite) They answered all my questions and gave me all the resources I needed to help ME decide how I wanted to birth. I felt so pampered while my body was birthing a human, crazy!
