Birth Testimonials

I went into my second birth feeling more confident than the first time, but I still had some fears. Working with Stephanie made such a huge difference. She was incredibly supportive, always checking in between sessions and after they were finished and making sure, I felt reassured throughout. She offered so much more emotional support than I’d expected from hypnobirthing sessions.

The sessions gave me the tools to stay calm, focused and in control, even when plans changed. My husband also felt really included and prepared which meant we could work together seamlessly during labour, even when I wasn’t able to talk! 

In the end I had a really positive experience. It was almost completely unmedicated, with far more confidence and calm than I’d thought possible. Some of the parts I was most nervous about became some of the most empowering moments for me after the work we’d done in our sessions. 

I’m still using some of what I learned postnatally, from managing stress to helping me relax, very helpful when dealing with a toddler and new born combo! I think it will come in useful for any kind of pain management too, I used them for the post birth cramps! 

I’m so grateful for Stephanie’s support and would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel empowered and positive about their birth.

I wouldn’t have thought I’d gain so much more from 1:1 vs group but because it was so tailored specifically to me I got so much more out of it. 

“Practicing hypnobirthing was the best decision I made during my pregnancy. It took most of the fear of having my first child out of the equation, allowed me to stay calm during labour, and to stick with my birth plan. I believe I wouldn’t have had such a positive, empowering experience had I not practiced entering such a special, relaxed space during my son’s birth. I recommend it to anyone who wishes for a birth with less stress and more peace.”

Elie and her partner are currently attending 1:1 Mindful Hypnobirthing refresher sessions to bring them even more confidence and empower them for birth and beyond.

“My little girl is over two now and I still use a lot of the breathing techniques I learnt through hypnobirthing most days as I found it so useful.  For me, along with various breathing techniques, the most beneficial part was understanding various processes throughout pregnancy, labour and postnatally too. As a first time parent it’s a very overwhelming and (at times) scary experience (especially going into labour for the first time), but understanding what’s happening with your body really helps get your head around it, and gives you so much control and empowerment.

I’d absolutely recommend giving it a go to anyone, even if you’re sceptical, as you have nothing really to lose - and so much to gain!”

“Hypnobirthing helped me to have two extremely positive and enjoyable waterbirths. Both of my babies came into the world with the most chilled surroundings thanks to all of the methods and techniques I practiced during labour. From affirmations to visualisations, hypnobirthing was the key to feeling empowered, confident and calm during every step of my pregnancy and birthing journey! I would highly recommend it to every mother!”

I was recommended to look into hypnobirthing by Stephanie and I'm eternally grateful for her guidance. Applying hypnobirthing techniques allowed me to advocate for what I wanted when faced with some difficult conversations during my high-risk pregnancy, and ensured I came away from the birth of my daughter feeling positive. Hypnobirthing empowered me to make decisions that were right for me and my baby and I would encourage every new parent or carer to utilise hypnobirthing tools during their pregnancy, birth and postnatally too.

We worked with Stephanie for our Hypnobirthing sessions before the birth of our second child, and it was such a valuable experience. From the very beginning, Stephanie was professional, approachable, and incredibly engaging. She made sure that both my wife and I felt equally involved in the process. At no point did I feel like I was asking silly questions, because Stephanie created a supportive environment where we could openly discuss every aspect of labour and birth.

Her sessions helped us refresh our knowledge while also giving us a clear understanding of the many options available during labour. Most importantly, she equipped us with practical tools to communicate effectively and maintain a calm, positive atmosphere throughout the process. I really appreciated the “cheat sheet” she gave me. It boosted my confidence, helped me know when and how to support my wife, and made me feel like an active and integral part of the birth.

The Hypnobirthing techniques Stephanie shared were simple yet powerful. My wife was able to stay deeply relaxed, and I felt like I was genuinely contributing. For example, using the “hand on shoulder” technique during labour helped keep her in the zone, and it gave me a sense of actively helping in a meaningful way.

Before the birth, I was nervous, but with Stephanie’s guidance, I felt fully prepared with a “toolbox” of strategies that supported both my wife and myself. That preparation allowed me to stay calm and confident during labour and ensured the whole experience was far more positive than our first birth.

Overall, we were exceptionally impressed. The sessions with Stephanie were refreshing, empowering, and gave us the confidence to create the birth experience we wanted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
