About Rochelle Bates

– Clinical Hypnotherapist & Doula

Rochelle Bates specializes in teaching parents the Mongan Method of HypnoBirthing and is a double-certified birth Doula and a clinical hypnotherapist..

Rochelle Bates began her working life in early childhood education before working as a film and television producer and writer, eventually taking 4 films to Sundance and becoming head of research and rights clearance for multiple award-winning documentaries.

Drawn to support people through life’s most transformative moments, Rochelle earned her credentials as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Mongan Method HypnoBirthing educator, soon adding certification as a Birth Doula from both Carriage House Birth and HypnoBirthing. She immersed herself in complementary practices, becoming a certified mindfulness meditation teacher while earning specialized credentials in pain management, sleep regulation hypnotherapy, psychedelic medicine use and integration and trauma studies through the Trauma Research Foundation with her mentor, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.

In 2019, Rochelle and Edward Bates founded The Safe Set, initially as a COVID compliance, safety, testing, and vaccination company serving the film industry. The Safe Set became the only independent vaccinator certified by Los Angeles County. The Safe Set vaccinated thousands throughout Los Angeles County, including the entire school districts of Malibu and Santa Monica, thousands of privately schooled students with their families and caregivers, and ran dozens of free community-based testing and vaccination clinics specifically for underserved Los Angeles residents, and the only clinics open on weekends and evenings.

Witnessing firsthand the surge in treatment-resistant depression and mood disorders, Rochelle and Edward founded Mindfield Wellness in 2022, a concierge ketamine infusion clinic providing the gold standard in ketamine therapy and integration. At Mindfield, Rochelle serves as a consultant while providing patient training, integration, and coaching—bringing together all her years of experience and certification in hypnotherapy, trauma work, mindfulness, and psychedelic integration to help people heal in ways traditional medicine couldn’t reach, and because of Rochele’s research in birth work, now includes treatment for postpartum mood disorders.

In Hypnotherapy, Rochelle particularly enjoys working with artists and children: populations she understands intimately from her previous teaching and entertainment background—and she’s built a thriving international virtual practice in both hypnosis and birth.

Rochelle remains committed to helping people access their deepest capacity for the healing and transformation they desire and looks forward to a day when every baby has a safe, comfortable, joyous and calm birth.
