Tanya McHale, RN, CH
Hypnotherapy and Monitrice / Doula Services in the Chicago area

I enjoy serving pregnant women and their families — in assisting women and their partners during labor and birth as a doula/monitrice, in seeing pregnant women for private hypnotherapy in my offices in Oak Park, and in teaching Hypnosis for Childbirth classes in Oak Park and at Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Lakeview.

• Hypnosis for Childbirth Classes - This is a way to prepare for your baby by using hypnosis to decrease fear and anxiety about birth and to stay calm and relaxed through your labor. Approximately 70% of women who take my classes go through labor with no medication.
  
  
• Doula / Monitrice Care - A doula is a woman who provides emotional, psychological and physical support to couples during labor. A monitrice does all that a doula does, but also has nursing or medical training and uses that background during the labor.
  
  
• Hypnotherapy - I provide hypnotherapy in two locations. Hypnosis can effectively assist with smoking cessation, reducing nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, decreasing blood pressure, and turning breech babies to a head-down position. For women who are not pregnant, hypnosis can assist with weight management as well.

I am a hynotherapist and nurse specializing in hypnosis for pregnancy and childbirth. I am also a labor doula and childbirth educator. I have three children born without any medication. I have been working as a childbirth educator and labor doula for the past 18 years, and have attended over 1,150 births in the Chicago area. I trained as a hypnotherapist and certified HypnoBirthing instructor in 2001 to provide a valuable tool for pregnant and laboring women. I left the HypnoBirthing Institute in 2005 in order to provide additional tools to pregnant and laboring women. I am a registered nurse with eight years experience as a labor nurse.

If you are pregnant and interested in a natural, positive labor and birth experience, please give me a call to see how I might help you during pregnancy and childbirth.
