Gina E. Kochany
Certified Hypnotherapist, Doula, Life Doula, Personal Development Guide, Rite of Passage Facilitator and Minister
Gina Kochany is the mother of 2 children and the grandmother of 6. She is a certified Hypnotist, Childbirth Educator, doula and has various training's in complimentary healing. Her journey in Women's wellness and wholeness work began in 2002 when she was certified in hypnotherapy. She became a childbirth educator in 2005 and doula six months later, with the firm belief that the only way to change the birthing environment is through education and through each childbirth. Childbirth is not a pass or fail experience, it is not a test of womanhood. Pregnancy, Labor and Birth are a path to motherhood, a journey that has many paths and detours. Every baby has its own path and its own story. When she was invited to be a faculty member with the HypnoBirthing Institute she was excited to be able to share her passion for birth in a much broader way.
As she has moved through the last 8 years of her life and through many phases, such as two bouts with breast cancer, menopause and the wise woman stage (menopause), her work and focus has broadened. As life experiences do, they created new life skills that she brings into every encounter she has with each and every woman. Her deep understanding and compassion gives her the ability to meet women where they are in life. Her life's intention is to help as many women as possible through their phases of life. To encourage, educate and help nourish their minds, bodies and spirits.
Gina sought for support, solutions and self healing tools throughout this journey. What she found was a deficit of support for the midlife transition. Without support it is difficult to heal and find solutions. She decided to take her struggle and transmute it into a opportunity to provide what she struggled to find. Gina Kochany offers a Midlife Transition Doula service that encompasses the tools and resources throughout this healing journey.
She is a life doula, attending women at birthing themselves and unleashing their passions, dreams and aspirations.
Gina specializes in women's issues, personal development, as well as trauma, fear release, depression, self-worth, stress relief, pain relief, quitting smoking, weight shed and more using Hypnotherapy, personal development tools and other modalities. Gina guides women's gatherings, conducts rites of passage for many phases of the feminine life cycles, and a public speaker.
With her life experience, and being raised as a minister’s daughter, it makes her unique in her approach and it is clear that her intention to make a difference is pure to help people find their own power, to take back control and reclaim their lives.
Gina's intention every day is to be a vessel of healing, peace and grace that will flow freely through her
to each person she comes in contact with.
