Birth Stories & Testimonials

Just to let you know my baby girl was born yesterday morning. My partner and I are both thrilled and the midwives said it was the best labour they had the opportunity to witness. The techniques you taught me were the bases of my coping with the contractions and labour. Your classes were amazing and you are correct to listen to the body as it knows how to birth your baby and baby knows the birth journey. Once again Jayne thank for everything.

I had my daughter and her birth was completely amazing! I think all that Oxycontin generation did its job, because things rapidly progressed I chose not to push and instead focused on down breath, and again was lucky enough not to need any stitches. It really was a dream birth – I almost can’t believe it. She was alert with eyes open and didn’t cry at all. As you say- she knew how to be born and just got on with it! Many thanks for your course and your support.

I was extremely proud as I didn’t have any pain relief! The hypnobirthing course definitely helped during my delivery as my husband was able to remind me of the breathing techniques and the use of the birthing affirmations I found helpful during my pregnancy. He was also very calm and positive during the process which helped when I found myself becoming more anxious. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend it! Thanks Jayne!
