From Nikki with Your Helping Hand:

Let's take a journey together this year centered around self evolution.

I have created an intentional space for women to gather once a month. This sacred space is your opportunity to focus on you and do something for yourself! Each month will consist of an intentional activity to move us through the year.

January will start with face masks, fellowship, and word of the year. February focuses on self love. There will be small gifts to take home as well.

Message or call Nikki at (605) 759-3824 to sign up and save your space!

What is HypnoBirthing?

It is a philosophy of birth.  Do you tell your lungs to breathe?  Your heart to beat?  Just like our bodies know how and when to do these things without direction, our bodies know how and when to birth.  We do it instinctually.

HypnoBirthing is an extraordinary childbirth education program unlike any other. This isn't just any conventional childbirth program; it's a transformative philosophy that harnesses the incredible connection between your mind and body. Hypnobirthing is built upon an educational framework of self-understanding, special breathing techniques, relaxation, visualization, and meditative practice.

It’s comprehensive, so you’ll get all of the thorough birth education you need in addition to learning hypnotic and relaxation practices!

We dispel the myths that society weaves around childbirth, and instead embrace the powerful and transformative experience that it is. You’ll leave this class feeling excited about your upcoming birth experience.
