I’m Hayley. I am the Executive Director of HypnoFertility International and the Eastburn Hypnotherapy Institute & Center. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and 3Keys® Certified HypnoFertilitist. I am the Director of the HypnoBirth Division of HypnoFertility International, and the co-creator of the 3Keys® HypnoBirth certification program. I work with clients, and also train practitioners, to utilize genuine hypnosis tools and techniques to facilitate the most effective hypnobirth possible.
I first discovered the benefits of hypnosis in 2010, when I needed to ease my own stress and anxiety due to having night terrors and sleep issues, and I’ve continued to work with hypnosis ever since. It wasn’t until I started my own fertility journey in 2017, however, that I started to delve much deeper into hypnotherapy.
Once I decided I wanted to be pregnant, and it didn’t happen immediately, I found my thoughts becoming more and more consumed with trying for a baby. Soon it was all I could think about. The added stress from this was actually working against me conceiving and I realized I needed to change my mindset. I recalled how much hypnosis had helped me in the past, and I knew it was just what I needed.
I began a daily practice of self-hypnosis, and it wasn’t long before I had the positive pregnancy test I so desired. This is when I really realized the power of hypnosis and its incredible impact on the mind-body connection! I continued my hypnosis practice throughout my pregnancy and also used it for the birth of my son and, eventually, my daughter. It was so amazing and empowering.
I even had a couple of the nurses at Holly’s birth thank me for allowing them to witness such a beautiful, calm, hypnotic birth. My midwife told me that, of all the hundreds of babies she had ever delivered, she would never forget Holly’s birth as it was so incredibly serene.
Immediately following my son’s birth, I knew my purpose was to empower women on their journey to motherhood—from preconception to conception, pregnancy, birth and beyond. This is when I began my formal training in hypnotherapy, hypnobirthing, and hypnofertility. Interestingly, during my HypnoFertility® training I conceived my second child. I couldn’t believe how easily it happened!
By the time my daughter was born I’d earned multiple certifications and had my own private practice. I know the benefits of hypnosis for both fertility and birth firsthand. Thanks to hypnosis I have two beautiful children and am able to help others to realize their baby dreams as well!
