"Working with Helen was the best decision I made for the birth of my child. The health system and your OBGYN tell you so little to make you feel prepared for labor and delivery. Helen provided the education I needed to feel empowered for my labor, and because of her I was able to have a natural birth without an epidural. Her techniques helped me to see the natural strength of my body and mind as a woman. All of her tips are great- from natural medications, to how to approach the staff at the hospital and hospital system, to breathing techniques, and birthing positions. I would recommend Helen's classes to any woman and family looking to become more informed about their choices during the birth of their child. I would also recommend taking her classes with your partner - it was a great thing for my husband and I to participate in each session together, and in the end we felt we didn't need a doula (he served as "El Doulo" as we like to say ). Helen truly cares about the health and well being of her clients, and you can feel it, and that makes all the difference. Thank you Helen for everything you provided for our family!"

"Where to begin? My boyfriend and I feel so blessed that we found Helen to guide us through the birth of our first child. Her courses are practical, focussed and empowering - she will provide you with the tools you need to have the best, most positive birth experience you can. And her tools WORK. Helen comes with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom of the birthing world and as someone who knew very little coming into it as a first time mom, she breaks down any fears and anxieties surrounding birth, and instead you’ll find you are able to truly experience the pure beauty and wonder in it all. My son’s birth was everything I’d hoped for because of this. One thing to add, is how nice it is for the partners to be involved. My boyfriend was empowered by all the knowledge too, but he also learned specific ways in which he could support me (mentally and physically) during the birth itself. He loved it, and it made him feel very included in the process, and when it came to the day itself he confidently stepped right into action. Hypnobirthing is simply amazing and I have recommended it to anyone going down the birthing path. Helen is the best teacher you will find, who genuinely cares, and you will find that what she teaches you resonates long after the birth itself too, with take aways for life after. Thank you Helen for everything!"

"I'm so glad I found Helen; her hypnobirthing class was everything I needed to prepare mentally and emotionally for the birth of my first baby. My boyfriend joined me in the classes and I'm so glad because he took everything in that Helen taught and made a great birth partner. I can't recommend her class enough--she is very personable and made me feel cared for!"

"Because of all the great reviews, we knew we were gonna have a good experience, but Helen exceeded our expectations. She didn't just treat us like clients, she made us feel like family. Since the second I went into labor, she was there for me until the end. Hands down, the best experience we had."

Thank you so much for your classes. I appreciated it then, but so so much more now that I've gone through the birth. It was such a positive experience even with the many twists and turns."

"Helen! Luca was born yesterday at 1:08 PM! All natural! All of your classes really did help and just like the drawing you gave us for homework, I labored on the ball the whole time until the end. It was an amazing experience."

"It all went well. The visualizations were great. Thank you for working with us. It has been an amazing experience and we are smitten with our little man. We are so happy with how everything has come to fruition. Thank you and happy new year."

"Hi, Helen! We got home from the hospital today. We are just so happy everyone is happy and healthy! We really thought everything we learned in the class got us through everything leading up to the birth. We are so grateful that we met you and so appreciate the class as a whole, but it really was you who made the class special. It was an amazing experience and we will use all of the techniques not only in our future births but in raising our children."

“Our son Asher was born on June 7, 2014. It was the happiest day of our lives so far, partially due to our birth experience. Helen Citrin was the perfect guide to an amazing journey. She introduced us to the HypnoBirthing method and led us through the material in a relaxed and enjoyable way. We had so many questions and concerns, all relieved by Helen within moments, leaving us anxious for the next week's material. When my doctor told me that I was going to be induced due to certain risk factors, I felt confident and empowered that we would still be able to have a wonderful birth experience...and we did! Thanks, Helen! We can't wait for round two!”

"I always wanted to try giving a natural birth for my first born child. I heard about HypnoBirthing techniques and wanted to learn them. I contacted Helen when I was almost 7 months pregnant. She regularly came to our home to teach this method to me as well as my husband. In addition, she advised me about aroma therapy. Moreover, she was always available to answer any questions and concerns such as various aspects about my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum before and after the birth of my son. I believe that the class helped me have a smooth and quick delivery. It was a nice experience and if I have another child I would use her services again.”

"You made the experience of the birth of our daughter very special and memorable. Your patience, love and dedication as a HypnoBirthing instructor made all the difference. We will always have beautiful memories of that day.”

"It has been a few days since the birth of my precious baby girl and I have had moments to absorb the events of birthing her. The main thing that stands out in my mind was your presence and your physical contact when needed. You were at my side at times with words or touches of support. Even when I did not reach my ultimate goal, you were gently persuasive, yet non-judgmental of my choice. This birth allowed me to be in control, calm and focused. Thus, my daughter was born smoothly and her journey was easy and trauma-free. If G-d ever blesses me with another pregnancy, I would definitely use the HypnoBirthing tools again. And with you by my side, I am confident the next time would be just as wonderful.”
