My husband and I recently completed the August 23-September 20 HypnoBirthing class sessions taught by Gina E. Kochany. We found the classes to be well organized, insightful, and helpful. We believe that they have been a wonderful preparation for the upcoming birth of our first child. Gina was a professional at all times and provided wonderful support to my husband and I as well as our classmates. Gina’s lectures were informative, practical, down-to-earth, and easy to follow. Her use of videos, visual aides, demonstrations, and relaxation techniques were outstanding. Gina answered any and all questions with heartfelt answers, making sure that everyone felt comfortable enough to ask whatever questions they might have. She put everyone at ease and brought forth a sense of friendship among the participants far exceeding normal class structures.
I would highly recommend the HypnoBirthing class or any other class or workshop taught by Gina Kochany to my friends and family.
Sincerely,
Erin H. Caldwell

What Parents Are Saying
This letter is to let your organization know what a great partner you have in Gina Kochany and Virginia Hypnobirthing. I was seeking out a natural way to birth my first son, after considering the standard available choices I realized that none of them reflected what I wanted in a birthing experience. I came across the information on Hypnobirthing quite by accident and was happy to hear that Gina was here in the Richmond Area upon my inquiry to the corporate headquarters of the Hypnobirthing Institute. The Hypnobirthing program with Gina’s guidance is an invaluable asset to have available to your clients. To have my son without fear, tension, and with the strength and knowledge that she provided through her courses has made a huge impact on my life as well as the life of my son Brian. I was so impressed with the program that Gina was among the very first people I called when I found out I was expecting another child. I have since enrolled in her course again as a refresher, taking classes in your beautiful facilities. I always speak highly of Virginia Hypnobirthing and your hospital whenever the topic arises in conversation. I hope that you would regard Gina Kochany and her program as highly as I do keeping her available to all of your clients that are seeking a natural birthing alternative.
Sincerely,
Tiffany Croxford
Mom of one and one on the way

To Whom It May Concern:
I write this letter in regards to Gina Kochany and her child birth class. After exploring the many options that are out there I settled on taking her class after speaking with her. She is extremely professional yet at the same time makes herself available to you like a close friend would. I felt comfortable bringing my questions and concerns to her. She was always helpful and always pleasant. I would recommend her class to anyone interested in natural childbirth with out hesitation.
Sincerely,
Amelia

My name is Liat, a new mother as of 9 months ago. I met Gina Kochany in December 2007 when I enrolled in her HypnoBirthing course before my baby’s birth.
I must say I was a bit skeptic at first, thinking childbirth is a painful thing and there is nothing that can change that. But, not only did I learn it is not true, I have gotten to know an amazing woman who gives her heart and soul to the mothers she works with.
The course was a series of 6 classes composed of explanations of what HypnoBirthing is, the logic behind it, practices, and working towards resolving fears and other issues with birthing. For me it was especially important as it was my first birth and I was planning to birth at home, so I’d have no option to ask for pain killers even if I wanted to. I was very determent to birth naturally and was looking for something to help me with that. I must say Gina and her classes were just right for me.
Gina is a great teacher, she did her best for my birthing partner and me to understand everything she taught, to make me feel safe and relaxed and ready for my birth as much as possible.
I found the relaxation meditations so helpful, and Gina’s presence so reassuring and relaxing, and we had hypnosis sessions on a weekly basis almost until my due date. The birth was fast and easy, I used what I learned at the classes and found it extremely useful and helpful. I believe HypnoBirthing is one of the main things to help me birth at home with no problems and have the beautiful birth I had.
I cannot explain in words what it felt like to use the techniques I’ve learned in this letter, but I can say that it was an amazing experience and I feel myself lucky and blessed to have been able to birth the way I did, and I do believe HypnoBirthing, and Gina, had a big part of it and of the easy pregnancy I had.
I’d like to think Gina and I have developed a close relationship as a result of this, and even though I moved out of the country we still keep in touch to this day.
Thank you
Liat Mizrachi

My husband and I took the Hypnobirthing class with Gina last fall. Our experience was so wonderful and inspiring that we also decided to use Gina as our doula. This was the single best choice I made with regards to my birthing experience. I was able to have natural childbirth despite hours of pitocin. Gina enabled me to do this. It is no exaggeration to say that I absolutely could not have done it without her. When we have our next child I plan on asking Gina if she will be our doula again.
I would be happy to be contacted. I cannot say enough about Gina!
Sincerely,
Emily Reusing Hebner
