About Mind Body Baby

Nicolle Kasch, Cht - owner/founder of Mind body baby

Hypnobirthing educator, Fertility & Birth Doula, Certified Hypnotherapist

Upon my own initiation into motherhood, a passion for birth was forged. In my pregnancy, like most people, I was very concerned about how difficult and painful birth would be and had no sense of how I’d get through it. The hospital based childbirth classes instilled so much fear in me that I became determined to educate myself further on a different perspective. I found Marie Mongan’s HypnoBirthing book, practiced the method diligently, hired a doula, and had an incredibly calm and empowering hospital birth! I came away from the experience feeling called to share a view of birth that positioned birthing people at the center: as capable, strong, and informed.

I went on to become a Hypnobirthing practitioner, birth doula, and have furthered my education by attending various workshops and trainings related to the childbearing season. When I had my second baby at home with a midwife, it confirmed everything I knew birth was capable of being: joyful, powerful, and ecstatic! Prior to my life in all things birth, I obtained degrees in both Sociology and Child Development from Chico State University. In college I also met the love of my life, and together we explored the world before “settling down” to start a family.

My vision for Mind Body Baby is to create a community where families can be wrapped in loving support wherever they are on their journey to build a family.

I currently live in Laguna Niguel, California with my husband, our two boys, and our rescue dog Sandy. I love to travel, explore new culinary adventures, sleeping in, snuggling with my family, chocolate, being in nature, yoga, being a mom, and of course all things fertility/pregnancy/birth/postpartum/breastfeeding/gentle parenting!

Fun fact: In high school I backpacked over 100 miles through Death Valley!
