Announcing workshop dates that are already filling. Great for 3rd trimester mamas! This 4 hour workshop includes more hands-on activities for you and your partner. It’s a great complement to HypnoBirthing courses.

We will learn how to create space in the pelvis. For each level of the pelvis you will better understand clues to know where your baby is during labor and how to help baby navigate that space.

The Body Ready Method® believes that when we learn about and practice positions, we prepare the body to be able to find them, intuitively. We want to create that mind-body connection, so you can intuitively access them in birth!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

i put all fear aside

using hypnosis, deep relaxation + visualization to prepare for birth you can - among other things - access the subconscious mind, focus on what is mentally preventing you from having the birth you desire, and release those blocks.

birthing without fear is a gamechanger.

i see my baby descending through tissues that are pink + healthy.

visualize. affirm. repeat. it’s karma, mama!

It is a true honor to be welcomed into the sacred space of birth (and the preparation for birth). Getting to walk alongside families as they work so hard through labor and witnessing power, love, and support is a blessing. I am so grateful to be able to do this work!

Feeling all the feels after reading this review from a strong and beautiful mama 💕

“I truly cannot express how grateful I am to have had Maria as our doula. I am naturally an anxious person, but throughout my pregnancy, Maria made me feel empowered and excited to give birth. When I went into labor, Maria was there the moment we asked for her support and stayed with us through the entire night until our baby was born.

Maria helped guide me through optimal positions throughout labor, walked me through visualizations, reminded me of my affirmations, created a calm environment, and supported me in moving through labor in a productive, grounded way. She supported my partner as well, allowing us to connect in a whole new way during the experience.

Even when plans changed, Maria remained incredibly supportive and ensured we were making informed, confident decisions. Our baby’s birth was a wonderful, empowering, unifying, and transformative experience-and we have Maria to thank for that.”

Review for Maria Gohdes, Birth Doula & Hypnobirthing Instructor, Gentle Surge:

Working with Maria was one of the best decisions I made during my first pregnancy. I initially met her through the hypnobirthing classes she taught, and I knew right away that I wanted her as my doula. She is incredibly gentle, truly listens, and brings a depth of knowledge that immediately builds trust. At the same time, she’s open-minded and willing to explore new perspectives or seek out additional information to support you.

During my labor and unexpected C-section, Maria supported both me and my husband with such calm, steady reassurance. She never rushed us—she simply offered clear, grounding information and a comforting presence. Her support made my birth experience feel special, positive, and empowered, even when things didn’t go according to plan.

I cannot recommend Maria enough. She is a rare combination of expertise, compassion, and genuine care, and I’m so grateful she was part of our birth story.
