"We are proud to include Marie-Paul as part of our team in delivering a full spectrum of services to expectant mothers. Marie-Paul is in tune with what is needed, and can guide a woman into the deep stages of relaxation required for a comfortable childbirth. She helps ensure that labor and delivery are a peaceful experience for mother, baby and birthing companion. We highly recommend Marie-Paul to all of our clients. Marie-Paul brings her peaceful, joyful presence to the delivery room and her amazing techniques of hypnosis to our clients. She helps facilitate a sense of calm and well being during the birth process. We highly recommend the use of Marie-Paul's unique approach to natural childbirth and feel that it blends well with the wholistic midwifery model of care."

"Marie-Paul is a caring, knowledgeable and dedicated birth doula. She tirelessly works with a birth couple to support their desired birth experience. She is also one of the most experienced Childbirth Hypnosis Instructors. We welcome Marie-Paul in our Birth Suites at California Hospital any day!
I have seen Marie-Paul work her magic with the use of hypnosis for labor and childbirth. She brings confidence and calmness to the birth couple who respond with complete relaxation empowered to embrace their experience fully. Marie-Paul intuitively guides her couples through labor and birth summoning up their strength and exploring ways to connect throughout the birthing process. They feel safe and supported."

"Marie-Paul is a very experienced hypnotherapist and an expert in the field of chidlbirth. Her unique style has helped many couples gain a sense of calm during their pregnancy, the birth of their babies and then the journey into parenthood. I highly recommend that women find the path that works for them to surrender to the work they need to in order to open and allow the process to unfold in the most natural of ways. Women who have worked with Marie-Paul exhibited a calm relaxed approach to labor and were not fearful of the process.

Marie-Paul helps in her own style of hypnotherapy to guide you to trust your intuition and be prepared for birth".
