Welcome to Three Rivers Hypnobabies!

I am Tara- a scientist, 2x Hypno-mom, and Certified Hypnobabies Childbirth Instructor (CHCI). I am happy to offer group classes, private classes, and home study advantage classes to expectant families in Western PA/greater Pittsburgh area, WV and Ohio.

Research has shown that the mind-body connection is powerful and that mindset matters! I’ve seen this at work in my own life, most especially with the births of my 2 daughters. Not only did I feel calm, comfortable, and confident in my birthing times, but my (awesome) husband, also felt like an active, knowledgeable, and supportive participant. We BOTH felt prepared for the births and walked away feeling empowered and blown away by the power of Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis…

It was just too good not to share, and now, as a Certified Instructor, I have the ability to share Hypnobabies with you so that you too can experience the beauty of a comfortable, peaceful childbirth. Hypnobabies not only offers comprehensive childbirth education, but taps into the beautifully ‘hidden’ potential of our minds, setting families up to have their best birth. Three Rivers Hypnobabies is a safe space where you can meet fellow expectant mamas/families and become informed to make evidence-based decisions while preparing to have the birth you want, however that might look. I want you (and your birth partner) to walk away feeling excited and encouraged about your pregnancy and birthing time because you are educated and empowered to make the choices that are right for you and your family.

A little more about me…

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the Catholic University of America with a minor in Studio Art.  When not teaching Hypnobabies, I work in academic research as a senior lab manager at the University of Pittsburgh (aka I am a science/research/knowledge junkie). I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, following Jesus, traveling, drinking coffee, and any opportunity to let my creative juices flow.

I hope you will join me for some encouraging and evidence-based pregnancy and childbirth information and inspiration. Please feel free to contact me for a complementary call or in-person meeting. It would be a gift to support you throughout your peaceful pregnancy and easy, empowering birth experience!
