Hypnobirthing in Silver Spring/Rockville/Bethesda/Takoma Park/DC

I'm looking for a referral to a hypnobirthing instructor in the area. I am due in August. Anyone you've heard is wonderful (or who isn't) would be helpful.

Thanks!

I've heard that there's an instructor at Willow St. Yoga (which has SS & Takoma locations; I think she's at Takoma) who does a hypnobirthing class. You might get her name & then google to see if there are positive reviews of her. (If I remember & if my friend in that class says anything positive, I can post it here, too.)

At the BCC branch of the Y this evening I noticed a hypnobirthing flyer on the bulletin board. It caught my eye since I did hypnobirthing too (in another city, sorry I don't have any local recommendations). Didn't catch the instructor name.
I should be back at the Y in the next few days; on my next visit I can pick up a flyer and psot the info to this thread

you can see a list of hypnobirthing instructors and other childbirth instructors at www.birthoptionsalliance.org (just click on the link to the list of childbirth educators).

Thank you all for the information and referrals!

I recently completed a hypnobirthing course in SS with Sara Shelly (301-681-3459). I think she is also an instructor at Willow Street. It was wonderful and we are probably going to hire her as our doula as well.
