On this episode I speak to Cynthia Overgard for a one hour special about birth in the USA. Cynthia is founder of HypnoBirthing of Connecticut, LLC and host/producer of the Down To Birth® podcast @downtobirthshow.

She has authored numerous articles in award-winning international publications and has personally worked with thousands of women and couples through pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum since 2007. She is certified in HypnoBirthing and is trained in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders through Postpartum Support International. Cynthia has an undergraduate degree in Sociology and an MBA in Finance. After experiencing her own beautiful and empowered waterbirths to her son and daughter, she resigned from a fulfilling corporate career in risk management and completed a ten-year term at University of Connecticut as a Professor of Finance in order to transition into the field of women’s heath as an educator and advocate for informed birthing. 

Cynthia can be reached at HypnoBirthingCT.com or DownToBirthShow.com.
