Sister Owned Business
Our names are Chantal and Rachelle. We are sisters, 8 years apart, who have a HUGE PASSION for birth and educating as many people who will listen. We are certified HypnoBirthing Instructors and Birth Doulas who want everyone to go into their birth journey feeling prepared and supported. We are both from The Netherlands and noticed that there was a HUGE gap between what birth CAN look like verse what is happening over here in the USA. Between the two of us, we have had a cesarean birth, Homebirth, Homebirth transfer unmedicated, and a hospital epidural birth. (We have experienced it all! )
Rachelle Navarro, HypnoBirthing Educator & Birth Doula
Hi! I am Rachelle. Wife, mother, Swiftie, and guilty of being a birth junkie. I started Happy Birthing with the vision to be able to care for families by providing much needed support and empowering them with knowledge!
If I am not already talking about something birth related then you will find me playing with my 3 boys (ages 1, 8 & 10), hiking somewhere, listening to Taylor Swift as loud as I can in the car, or glued behind a fantasy book with a warm cup of tea in my hand.
I live in Arizona where I became a DONA Certified Birth Doula and HypnoBirthing Instructor, but I learned most of my skills and knowledge while living overseas for 8 years in The Netherlands. That is where I had two of my children unmedicated and where my eyes were opened to a whole new world of birth options and the reality that birthing a baby could be CALM, BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL even… EXCITING.
I want women to feel empowered and to know all of their choices in the birthing room! I want every mamma to know they are in control of their own bodies and it knows what it is doing!!
Chantal Eagan, HypnoBirthing Educator
Hi!! I am Chantal Eagan and I am a mother of 3 amazing kids. When I can find time for myself, I love to ride horses, hike, explore the world and read a good book. Being blessed to have a gay son, I have a special place in my heart for and am a huge supporter of the LGBTQ community.
I first experienced childbirth 19 years ago and to say the least I was very unprepared. All my life I thought it was simple. Get married to a wonderful man, get pregnant, have a baby nine months later and live happily ever after, right? Then the reality of life smacked me right in the face. I thought I was more than prepared but boy was I wrong! After 24 hours of intense labor I was rushed into the operating room for an emergency Cesarean. Something I have no doubt that could have been avoided if I had been prepared. I wish I knew then what I know now and had the knowledge of HypnoBirthing to create a Happy, Calm and Confident experience rather than the difficult and traumatic one I went through.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have seen firsthand the difference HypnoBirthing makes in delivering a calm and even exciting experience for so many women. I am determined and excited to teach other women how to have the beautiful, joyful and rewarding experience that childbirth can be. I am thrilled to partner up with my sister Rachelle and join the Happy Birthing team where mothers can get answers, comfort and the support they deserve!
Alex Neville, Birth Doula, Photographer & HypnoBirthing Educator
Hi!! I am Alex. Growing up I felt paralyzing fear when it came to labor and birth. This crippling fear led me on a journey of delving into books, podcasts, birth stories, videos, and evidence based research. I was shocked when I discovered birth could be empowering, beautiful, and even peaceful. I took a hypnobabies class when I was pregnant with my first son. It was here I first heard the word doula. With it being so close to my guess date I did not hire one.
Once I got to the hospital things didn’t go as I had wanted. I felt many procedures were pushed onto me and I didn’t know I could say no. If you were to ask my husband or me what was “missing” at that birth we would both say in unison… a DOULA! I always joked that at my next birth I wanted ten of them! That is what launched me on this journey of birth work.
I believe in our ability to birth. My goal is to educate, serve, reduce stress, and hold space for you physically and emotionally while your birth story unfolds. My wish is for moms to feel beautifully cared for, heard, and respected. This is your birth. Your way!
I received my doula training and certification through Babymoon Inn Birth Center. I also am a Hypnobabies certified doula. I have goals to one day become a lactation consultant.
Bailey Rogers, HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator
Hi! I’m Bailey. Having had two very different birth experiences and now knowing the importance of education and being prepared, I am so passionate about teaching HypnoBirthing! I recently had an unmedicated birth center birth that showed me how powerful HypnoBirthing is, and that it truly works.
I just think that our bodies are so incredibly capable and made for birth, and that when we feel calm, safe, prepared, confident & empowered, birth can be an experience that is truly life changing.
When I’m not talking about birth you can find me raising my babies, listening to a podcast, spending time with friends and family, riding horses, doing farm chores, or taking a class at the gym! I love a good beach vacation or game night with friends, & eating out at one of my favorite restaurants or getting a treat will always be something I’m in the mood for.
Haley Clegg, HypnoBirthing Educator, Birth Doula
Hi! My name is Haley Clegg, and I am a Hypnobirthing Educator. I became birth-obsessed in a childhood development class over 15 years ago. As I went on to college, I built a career in human resources and marketing for corporate healthcare. I saw firsthand how the medical industry works. As I got married and decided to start my own family, I wanted to arm myself with any and all material that would provide me with evidence-based information. From podcasts, to books, to classes, to mothers sharing their first-hand experiences they all led me to Hypnobirthing.
I took a class and knew in my bones that what I was learning was exactly what I needed to feel empowered and ready to bring my babies earth side. After having the birth I always dreamed of, I wanted to help and empower other mothers to take control of their own births no matter what that vision was. This passion led me to become a Hypnobirthing educator.
When I am not teaching I am a multimedia artist, usually wrapped in my latest project and jamming out to Taylor Swift. I’ve been married to the love of my life for 7 years and I love raising our little girl and being the queen of my homemaking scene.
Courtney Olsen, Birth Doula & Photographer
Hi! I’m Courtney! I’m an Arizona native, been married for 9 years, and have two beautiful children with a third on the way! I love to travel and have so many places I want to check off my list, but so far my favorite city is Rome. I also really love music! It is truly something that brings me joy. I listen to a variety of genres, but I would consider myself an old soul listening to 60’s/70’s/80’s music majority of the time! My family and I enjoy spending time on the lake, going camping, hiking, and riding bikes together.
I am fascinated with all things birth related! I never get tired of listening to birth stories or learning something new. Every birth is unique and special, and my goal is to provide a calm,judge free, and safe space where I can support families through their individual birth journey! I believe in the mind-body connection and trusting in your body and the birthing process. I am passionate about providing support to families as well as evidence-based information so that mothers can feel informed and confident in their decisions. I think birth is so beautiful and I am thankful for every opportunity that I get to serve mothers in my community.
Anna Stone, Birth Doula
Hi! My name is Anna and I became entranced with everything birth related when I was pregnant with our first son 6 years ago. As the first in my close group of friends to start a family, I wanted to go into my birth experience armed with knowledge. I couldn’t listen to enough birth story podcasts!! After my own empowering birth experience, I knew I had to find a way to help others do the same. Fast forward 5 years, I was pregnant with our third child and realized there was never going to be a perfect time to jump into the birth world. I decided to get certified as a birth doula and can’t imagine a better job in the world. I am passionate about helping parents enter the birth space with confidence and evidence based information.
My husband and I have been married for 7 years and have 3 beautiful children. I love trips to the beach, singing in the car with the windows down, and drinking coffee with a good book in hand.
Birth is transformative. When a baby is born, so is a mother. I am honored each time I get to witness the miracle of birth and am so grateful to serve the moms in our community.
Hannah McDermott, HypnoBirthing Educator
Hi! I’m Hannah McDermott, a hypnobirthing educator. I started off life in Kentucky where I met my husband, Wes. We moved together to Kansas for him to go to chiropractic school, and found out not long after we got married we were expecting our first child - cue a deep dive into EVERYTHING birth related! During this time in my life I remember being so supported by friends, family and care providers about the birth I wanted, and had! It didn’t take long for me to realize my birth experience wasn’t what was standard, and I started to feel the call to do SOMETHING birth related. My family and I moved to Arizona in the summer of 2022, opened our family chiropractic practice, and found out we were expecting our 2nd child!
While pregnant, we connected with HappyBirthing about opening up our space to teach HypnoBirthing series. Thank goodness I asked Rachelle if I could take her series. Seeing how empowering and informative the series is, and how empowered I went into my second birth, I was sold! I knew I wanted to teach. All moms deserve to be respected, informed, and well equipped during birth. I’m so excited for the opportunity to teach and connect with the women in our community!
When I’m not teaching, you can find me soaking in time with family and friends. I love to be outside - hiking, at the pool, or simply sitting at the park with my kids. I’m a sucker for a good adventure, whether it’s here in Arizona or farther across the map. If you ask me if I want to go somewhere, the chances are I’ve already started packing!
