About Bend Hypnobirthing
Welcome to Bend Hypnobirthing! We are a dedicated team of two Certified Nurse Midwives with years of experience supporting women through childbirth. Our mission is to empower expectant mothers by providing comprehensive childbirth preparation courses that cover everything from healthy pregnancy practices to achieving the birth of your dreams—whether that’s unmedicated, medicated, in a hospital, birth center, or at home.
At Bend Hypnobirthing, we believe every woman deserves to feel informed and ready for the transformative experience of birth. Our courses not only equip you with essential knowledge and tools but also foster a supportive community of expectant parents. We also offer pregnancy meditation nights, where you can connect with your body, your baby, and other expecting moms.
We offer both group and private classes, tailoring our approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. Join us in creating an empowered experience and step into your birth journey with confidence!
Bre Davis, MSN, CNM, WHNP-BC
Breanna Davis (Bre) is a Certified Hypnobirthing Instructor, Certified Nurse Midwife, and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner. Originally from Forest Grove, OR, Breanna spent a decade in Orange County before returning to her home state, where she now resides in Bend with her husband, son, and golden retriever. Bre has been attending births for 11 years and believes it is a sacred portal women enter during labor, and it should be respected as so.
With a deep passion for empowering women, Bre became a Certified Hypnobirthing Instructor after personally experiencing the transformative power of hypnobirthing during the birth of her own child in December 2022. Using hypnobirthing strategies, she achieved the pregnancy and birth of her dreams, which she considers her single greatest accomplishment. This experience not only validated her professional expertise but also deepened her personal connection to the transformative nature of birth.
As a mother, hypnobirthing instructor, and advocate for holistic care, Breanna is committed to helping families gain the knowledge and tools to have the birth experience they desire. She is passionate about empowering individuals to trust their bodies, honor their choices, and embrace the strength within themselves during this life-changing journey.
Outside of her work, Breanna enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and dog, and enjoying the beauty of the Oregon landscape. She also enjoys cooking and baking.

Christina is a certified hypnobirthing instructor, certified nurse-midwife, family nurse practitioner and is currently studying to receive her post-graduate certificate as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Originally calling Central Oregon home in 2010, she feels a strong connection to this community.
A deep interest in the mind-body connection, particularly the role it plays in the perinatal period, has led Christina to become a hypnobirthing instructor.

As someone who values the strong bonds that come from forming close communities, Christina is also so excited to nurture an environment of community-building through hypnobirthing courses as well as pregnancy meditation events.
