You can’t prepare for a baby only with gear, checklists, and a birth plan.
The real preparation begins before birth - when you begin to know your baby and trust yourself as their parent. I help parents move into birth and the early years with more confidence, calm, and connection.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Preparing for a baby is often filled with excitement… and also with questions many parents don’t talk about.
You may recognize some of these moments:
You’re excited to meet your baby but you sometimes wonder what those first weeks after birth will actually feel like. Will you feel confident or overwhelmed?
You’re doing everything “right” to prepare - reading books, thinking about birth, organizing the nursery - yet your nervous system still braces for the unknown.
You want to feel connected to your baby during pregnancy, but instead you often feel busy, distracted, or unsure how that connection is supposed to happen.
You’re growing a baby and stepping into parenthood, but no one has shown you how to begin the relationship with your baby before they arrive.
These feelings are more common than most parents realize.
Most pregnancy preparation focuses on birth.
Very little attention is given to the relationship that is already beginning during pregnancy.
And yet that relationship is where the foundation of parenthood begins.
How I Can Support You
No matter where you are on the path to parenthood—or in your own inner journey—I offer personalized support that meets you exactly where you are.
Here are the pathways you can choose from:
-
One-on-one sessions designed to help you release stress, shift old patterns, and build confidence—so you can move through this season of life with more calm, clarity, and connection.
Fertility: Optimize your chances of conceiving by calming your body, focusing your mind, and opening your heart to welcome the soul of your baby.

Hi there!
I’M IVANA.
If you’re here, chances are you want more than information. You want to feel calm and confident that you’re doing enough for your baby. No matter where you are on this path— whether you’re still trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, preparing for birth, or adjusting to life postpartum — you want real support, not more pressure.
Through a blend of hypnosis, coaching, and education, I’ll guide you to release stress, tune into your own deep wisdom, and feel supported every step of the way. My role isn’t to tell you how to parent—it’s to help you discover the peace, strength, and connection that are already within you, so you can welcome your baby with love and resilience.
Here is what happens when you’re prepared for your birth

What a wonderful experience with an incredible instructor! Ivana’s hypnobirthing class was engaging, informative & critical in making my third birth be the amazing, empowering natural birth experience I had always hoped for. Even as third-time parents, my husband and I truly enjoyed the classes and learned SO MUCH. Afterwards we felt totally prepared & confident. And when our baby decided to arrive, we absolutely had the tools & techniques on hand to have the calm, unmedicated hypnobirth we wanted. Even the hospital staff asked us where we learned our birthing techniques!

If you're going to be a first-time mom, you definitely want Ivana in your circle. The HypnoBirthing tools I learned in her class helped me to have more control over the outcome of my labor and birth experience (which is miraculous!). The HB method can be a lot of information to take in, but Ivana helps you to focus on the most important pieces and gives you the confidence to be true to yourself and what you want for your experience.

Ivana is a fantastic hypnobirthing instructor who truly embodies her teachings. She balances discussion of standard course material with tailoring the lessons to the needs of the person/group. She is clearly well-versed and passionate about the work, which radiates when she guides us through each piece of information and exercise. She is a genuine, compassionate, and empathetic person, which is extremely beneficial in easing anxiety and apprehension and leaning into mindful-based practice and connection with body and baby.

My birthing experience was far from the hypnobirthing minimal medical intervention one we wanted, but I am so grateful for the class and everything I learned and was able to put into practice during the experience. I remained mentally strong during everything in what was a very stressful situation, and I’m proud of myself for my ability to keep going and surrender to my body when it wasn’t going my way. Thank you for giving me the tools I needed to be successful in birthing a beautiful healthy baby!

I really want to thank you again for all of the help, it was a completely different experience compared to my first (I had a spinal headache due to the misplaced epidural). I'm so happy that everything went perfectly.

Taking the Hypnobirthing course from Ivana was one of the best things we did to prepare for our birth. We feel calm, confident and excited about the birth of our son. Ivana uses her intuition to personalize the program while still hitting on all the information we needed to absorb. She is clear and thorough in her explanations and was so open to any question or concern we brought up.
