'I finished the course recently and it was phenomanal.
I feel so empowered, informed and excited for my baby's birth
now!' Millie, Southend on Sea
'I am writing to say how wonderful I think the course was
and, as a first time mum, how valuable the information was to both
me and my husband. My husband feels that by taking part in
the hypnobirthing classes he was able to help during the birth as
he knew the process and techniques to help me, a feeling I am sure
not every husband has felt.' Jess & Kane,
Benfleet
'We found that even as second time parents, there
was still a lot to learn from the classes which were really well
structured, full of content and I really enjoyed the practical
group sessions to put things into practice.' Natalie and
Kyle, Great Wakering
'We loved the way the course reminded us that labour is not
necessarily as dramatic or traumatic as portrayed on screen etc.
Whilst we understand that everything does not always go to
plan, it allowed us to approach labour with a positive outlook. The
course left my wife & I confident in her ability to give birth
to our daughter & relaxed as labour approached.' Richard
& Lauren, Leigh on Sea
'The relaxing atmosphere that was set up for each class
along with the opportunity to practice some of the breathing
techniques and scripts really helped me and my husband (but
especially me!) feel a lot better prepared and
equipped.' Ann-Marie & Daniel, Rayleigh
'My husband loved the sessions too, and the fact that it
gave him such an active role in the birth. We used
so much of what we learnt on the actual day and I actually look
back on my birthing experience as one that I really enjoyed.'
Lisa & Neil, Rochford
'We both felt prepared leading up to the arrival of
our baby and he was absolutely fantastic throughout the labour and
birth. I would definitely recommend the course to any expecting
parents especially if they are feeling anxious about what is to
come.' Melissa & Mike, Benfleet
'Mike was a little apprehensive that it would all be a bit
"hippie" and pointless him coming with me, but the practical and
emotional advice we received, gave us both confidence and
reassurance.' Lynsey & Mike, Shoeburyness
'Prior to the course I was incredibly anxious and feared the
whole process, now I feel informed and empowered. I know feel I
have the tools to stay relaxed and calm whatever path the birthing
process takes.' Louisa & Andrew, Southend on Sea
'I have now had my baby and despite having to have a
c-section due to a low lying placenta, I found the hypnobirthing
technique invaluable when it came to breathing my way through my
pain and anxiety. I was able to use the techniques in theatre
during my spinal and to keep myself calm throughout.'
Danielle & Chris, Benfleet
"Comfortable, relaxing, positive atmosphere. Engaging tasks
and exercises that made the information easier to digest"
"As someone who has felt a lot of anxiety towards childbirth
for many years, this course has given me a huge amount of
reassurance and helped me to feel differently about it, all thanks
to the great information, useful breathing techniques.and the huge
sense of positivity"
"Some brilliant tips,
techniques, breathing skills and loads of great advice. Thank you
so much, feel so much more positive about it all"
"We have both looked forward to attending the classes and
after every class on the way home have both said how amazing they
were and discussed what techniques learned we think we will use.
We have both been practicing various elements and feel that we now
have a good selection of tools and resources to use when in
labour"
"My husband and I have
recently completed the hypnobirthing course at the
hospital. We also found it to be very helpful that the
course was lead by Midwives, as all our questions were able to be
answered. It enabled us to feel more in control of our
labour and ensured we made the labour itself into a positive
experience for us both. I especially found the breathing techniques
the most useful to me in labour and making our birthing environment
into a nice calming place to be. We would both highly recommend
this course to everyone in preparation to giving
birth"
