Bridging Counseling, Hypnotherapy, Birth & Holistic Family Sleep Support
Meet Jamie Canning, Certified Hypnotherapist, Master’s-level counseling professional, certified doula, birth and bereavement doula, founder of Tiny Miracles Doula Services and HypnoCare, and graduate of the International Parenting & Health Institute’s Holistic Pregnancy & Child Sleep Consultant Certification Program.
Based in Billings, Montana, Jamie has built a career around accompanying families through some of life’s most profound transitions: from pregnancy and birth to postpartum recovery, newborn care and sleep.
Her work through Tiny Miracles is not centered on one isolated moment in the parenting journey.
Instead, Jamie supports families across a continuum.
She helps expectant parents prepare for birth. She accompanies families through labor and delivery. She supports parents after their babies arrive. She provides overnight newborn care so exhausted parents can rest. She has specialized education surrounding pregnancy and infant loss. And through her IPHI education, she expanded that foundation into holistic pregnancy and child sleep.
It creates a professional perspective rooted in something Jamie’s career demonstrates repeatedly:
Families need support through transitions, not simply solutions to isolated challenges.
Jamie’s work has consistently centered around helping people navigate periods of transition—while providing education, emotional support and practical tools that recognize the connection between mind and body.
A Foundation in Counseling
One of the most distinctive aspects of Jamie’s professional background is her education in counseling.
Jamie earned her Master’s Degree in Counseling from Montana State University Billings, bringing an additional dimension to her work with expectant and new families.
Pregnancy, birth and postpartum life aren’t purely physical experiences.
They can involve anticipation, uncertainty, major identity changes, relationship adjustments, exhaustion and intense emotions.
Jamie’s counseling education therefore complements a career built around being present with families during periods of enormous change.
Her role as a doula remains distinct from clinical mental-health treatment, but her educational background adds another perspective to the emotional and interpersonal dimensions of family support.
From Counseling to Certified Hypnotherapy
Jamie’s Master’s-level education in counseling would eventually become part of an even broader professional path.
In 2021, Jamie founded HypnoCare, where she works as a Certified Hypnotherapist. Her current professional materials state that she trained and certified through the National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists (NATH).
Her hypnotherapy work extends well beyond pregnancy.
Jamie works with clients around areas including anxiety and panic, fears and phobias, sports performance and mindset, motivation, habits, self-esteem, public speaking and sleep-related concerns such as insomnia. She also offers hypnotherapy for children and adolescents in areas including relaxation, confidence, fears, life changes and sleep.
This adds an especially interesting dimension to Jamie’s holistic sleep background.
Sleep isn’t influenced only by what happens at bedtime.
Thoughts, emotions, stress, habits, learned associations and daily experiences can all become part of an individual’s larger sleep picture.
Jamie’s combination of counseling education, hypnotherapy and holistic sleep education therefore gives her multiple lenses through which to understand human wellbeing.
HypnoBirthing & the Mind-Body Connection
Jamie’s interest in the relationship between mind and body also extends directly into her birth work.
She became a HypnoBirthing® Practitioner in 2015, and Tiny Miracles offers HypnoBirthing classes for expectant families.
The program teaches relaxation, breathing and mental preparation techniques intended to help parents approach childbirth with greater calm and confidence.
This creates another bridge between the different chapters of Jamie’s professional career.
Her work isn’t simply:
Doula or counselor.
Hypnotherapist or sleep consultant.
Birth professional or family support professional.
Instead, Jamie has gradually developed a multidisciplinary body of education around the relationship between physical experience, emotional wellbeing, mindset, behavior, family support and sleep.
Supporting Families Through Pregnancy and Birth
Jamie trained and became certified as a doula through First Breath Midwifery Care.
Through Tiny Miracles, her prenatal work includes helping families explore their birth wishes, develop birth plans, practice labor positions and comfort measures, locate pregnancy and childbirth resources, prepare for breastfeeding and navigate questions as their baby’s arrival approaches.
During labor, that education becomes hands-on support.
Jamie provides physical and emotional assistance, helps parents explore comfort measures and positions, and works alongside the family’s chosen birth partner and medical team. Her philosophy specifically emphasizes that the doula isn’t there to replace a partner; she views the doula and partner as members of the same support team.
It’s an approach centered on collaboration rather than replacement.
From Birth Into the Postpartum Period
Jamie’s support doesn’t end once a baby arrives.
Tiny Miracles offers postpartum care designed to give parents time to recover, bond with their baby and adjust to everyday life with a newborn.
Her postpartum services include practical household support, newborn care, babywearing instruction and breastfeeding assistance.
And then there are the nights.
Jamie’s overnight services allow parents to sleep while she assists with their baby’s changing, feeding and settling needs. Tiny Miracles provides overnight care for single babies as well as twins and triplets.
This is where Jamie’s postpartum work and holistic sleep education naturally intersect.
Sleep isn’t an abstract concept when you’re working overnight with newborn families.
It’s happening within the realities of feeding, waking, soothing, parental recovery and the developing rhythms of a new baby.
Expanding Her Education Into Holistic Pregnancy & Child Sleep
As Jamie’s professional work continued supporting families across pregnancy, birth and postpartum life, she also expanded her education into sleep.
Jamie is a graduate of the International Parenting & Health Institute’s Holistic Pregnancy & Child Sleep Consultant Certification Program.
That education adds another perspective to an already multidisciplinary professional foundation.
Rather than viewing a child’s sleep as an isolated behavior, a holistic approach considers the larger picture surrounding a family and child.
Development.
Health.
Nutrition.
Environment.
Family dynamics.
Parent wellbeing.
Daily rhythms.
And the many individual circumstances that can influence sleep.
For a professional already accustomed to supporting families from pregnancy through postpartum life, this broader perspective is a natural extension of Jamie’s work.
When Supporting Sleep Means Supporting Parents, Too
Jamie’s current postpartum services provide a particularly clear example of why sleep is rarely just about the baby.
When Tiny Miracles provides overnight newborn support, one of the stated goals is straightforward:
Give parents an opportunity to rest.
That matters.
A new baby’s sleep exists within an entire household.
Parents are simultaneously recovering from birth, learning their baby’s cues, navigating feeding, adjusting routines and functioning on interrupted sleep themselves.
Jamie’s background allows her to understand that larger transition.
Her holistic sleep education adds another tool to a professional career already focused on caring for the family surrounding the child.
Supporting Families Through Pregnancy and Infant Loss
Another particularly meaningful part of Jamie’s professional background is her work with families experiencing loss.
Jamie trained and certified through Stillbirthday University as a birth and bereavement doula.
Tiny Miracles includes bereavement services for families navigating pregnancy and infant loss, extending Jamie’s philosophy of support into circumstances where families may be experiencing profound grief.
This work requires a different kind of presence.
Sometimes professional support isn’t about changing an outcome.
It’s about being willing to remain present with a family through an experience that cannot simply be fixed.
That aspect of Jamie’s career speaks powerfully to the larger philosophy underlying doula care: meeting families where they are and supporting them through the experience they are actually having.
Creating a Full-Service Doula Agency in Montana
Today, Tiny Miracles describes itself as a full-service doula agency serving Billings and Yellowstone County, Montana. Its services span birth, postpartum, bereavement, childbirth education, Body Ready Method and other pregnancy and postpartum offerings.
Jamie’s birth services can begin prenatally and continue through labor, delivery and postpartum follow-up.
Her postpartum services can extend into the family’s home.
Her overnight services recognize that parents themselves need sleep and recovery.
And her bereavement education allows her to support families through a very different side of pregnancy and birth.
Taken together, her work reflects continuity.
Pregnancy → Birth → Postpartum → Newborn Care → Family Sleep
Rather than entering a family’s life for only one piece of that transition, Jamie has developed professional education that allows her to understand multiple parts of the journey.
Calm, Compassionate Support
Jamie’s testimonials reveal another consistent theme: families repeatedly describe her as calm, reassuring, supportive and respectful.
Parents describe her helping them understand options, navigate birth plans, work through difficult moments in labor and feel supported rather than alone. One mother describes Jamie as having a “calm yet confident presence,” while another specifically says that Jamie helped keep her grounded during an emotionally intense experience.
Those qualities matter across Jamie’s different areas of work.
Whether someone is laboring, recovering postpartum, caring for a newborn at 3 a.m., struggling with sleep or navigating loss, professional knowledge is only one part of support.
How that knowledge is delivered matters, too.
Supporting the Family, Not Replacing It
There’s another theme throughout Tiny Miracles that aligns naturally with holistic family support:
Jamie’s role is to support the family rather than take over the family.
Her description of doula care specifically addresses partners. She explains that a doula isn’t there to replace a father or partner during birth. Instead, the doula can help that person participate more confidently by providing practical knowledge, additional hands and opportunities for breaks.
The same philosophy can extend into postpartum and sleep support.
Professional support works best when it equips parents with knowledge and confidence rather than making families feel incapable without the professional.
Ultimately, parents remain the experts on their own family.
Making Support More Accessible
One detail on Jamie’s website deserves recognition.
Tiny Miracles explicitly states Jamie’s belief that every woman deserves physical and emotional support during pregnancy and birth. Her website invites families who cannot afford the listed price to contact her to explore possibilities, and she advertises special pricing for military families, teens and adoption circumstances.
That reflects another important dimension of her professional philosophy:
Support shouldn’t be treated merely as a luxury.
For Jamie, it’s part of caring for families.

An Inspiration in Whole-Person & Whole-Family Support
The more we look at Jamie’s professional journey, the clearer its connecting thread becomes.
She holds graduate-level education in counseling.
She became a doula.
She expanded into birth and bereavement support.
She became a HypnoBirthing® Practitioner.
She pursued holistic pregnancy and child sleep education through IPHI.
And later, she became a Certified Hypnotherapist and founded HypnoCare.
Today, Jamie’s work reaches from pregnancy and birth to children and adults, addressing different dimensions of wellbeing across the lifespan.
Her work through Tiny Miracles remains deeply rooted in pregnancy, birth and family support, while HypnoCare allows her to work more broadly with areas including anxiety, mindset, performance, habits and sleep.
And perhaps that’s what makes Jamie’s professional story especially fitting for a Graduate Spotlight.
Holistic practice doesn’t necessarily mean doing one thing.
It can mean understanding how different pieces of a person’s life interact and continuing to develop the professional education necessary to view those pieces from multiple perspectives.
For Jamie, those pieces have included:
Mind.
Body.
Birth.
Family.
Behavior.
Sleep.
And human wellbeing.
