Hello, my name is Dariya Kamenska and apart from being a birth educator, I am an yoga and meditation teacher as well. I have always been passionate about everything related with the power of the mind & body. I teach Hypnobirthing and Imagery, which are both incredibly powerful tools to use before, during and after you give birth.

 

I found about hypnobirthing and Imagery when I got pregnant with my first baby and just thought It would be too selfish not to share  with other women. It did make a huge difference in my nearly 48 hour long labour and thanks to the hypnobirthing & imagery techniques and knowledge, I managed to have a natural and joyful birth. Now, with my second, I have learned my lessons well and had an incredible smooth, calm, magic, water home dream birth! I am absolutely in love with those methods because they really do work! Your birth experience will shape you and your baby for the rest of you life. I can not even tell you how priceless this is - to give birth the way you want! Every time I read more stories of normal births and hypnobirths & imagery, I become more and more amazed of how powerful hypnobirthing&imagery actually are.

​

I remember clearly when I got to know I was pregnant with my first. Such an incredible and magic moment!

​

I knew I had to give my best and find everything possible that could prepare me for what lies ahead. I knew I wanted to have a natural, drug and intervention free birth. So, diving into the unlimited realms of google, I often felt really confused, overburdened and drown into all kinds of advice and breathing techniques that I could not possibly remember or differentiate which was the best and most working option.

I just wanted something simple that works! Because ladies, let’s face it…you cannot deal with complicated things when giving birth!

​

So, after some time of extensive research, I have finally found the incredible world of Hypnobirthing! Alas, I felt there is hope! And, I was so impressed and felt so in love with the techniques that I just knew right away I want to teach it! I could feel it and still do with all my heart! So, my journey began and I found the most incredible and trustworthy teacher I could every possibly hope for! I felt in the right place and so empowered, I could not wait for labour to start!

​

Together with Hypnobirthing, I also used Dreambirth Imagery – very powerful, incredibly useful and practical visualization exercises that are a perfect match to use together with the Hypnobirthing method.

​

I can honestly say that there was no way I could survive my nearly 3 day labour that ended in the hospital ward, without Hypnobirthing and Imagery. I managed to have a natural, drug-free birth and a happy smiley baby! And my home birth with my second - Oh WOW, that was a total bliss - honestly, I did not know what birth really is until now. Your body is so powerful and wise and if left undisturbed, you can witness what giving birth is really  meant to be! And you can be sure that whatever the circumstances, you will get the best of every situation. My Courses are completely tailored around your needs. We will work on every aspect of your fears and worries and leave nothing but confidence and empowerment to have a smooth, calm and joyful birth!
