"I can't imagine how anyone gives birth without it! HypnoBirthing® kept me feeling calm and in control throughout labour. The contractions were no problem at all.
I knew what to do and what to think. It gave me a better understanding of the physical and psychological aspects of childbirth. It also gave me greater confidence in myself and in my partner to work as a team, as I knew that we had the tools to ensure a safe and calm birth.
This meant that I avoided the use of pain-killing chemicals. I believe in myself (mind and body) a lot more now, and feel that perhaps there's even more I can achieve if I only put my mind to it.
I would advise every mother-to-be and her partner to try HypnoBirthing® even if they intend to use drugs."
Kerry Woodcock, London
"I've never felt so well prepared for anything in my life! I went into labour, totally fearless. HypnoBirthing® was a huge, huge, huge help.
It was amazing and the birth would not have been half as fulfilling without it. I now have a new understanding of what my mind and body is capable of and know that childbirth can be a very, very positive experience.
It was phenomenal. Even the midwife said: "I've never seen anyone deliver like that!"
I'm so pleased that I was able to have the birth I wanted, and do it my way. People have commented that they've never seen me looking so well.
I have let go of a lot of anxieties and the baby is so relaxed too because my response is much calmer. I'm so pleased I found you. Thank you!"
Mary, London
"This birth was much easier than the last four - I was quite detached from any pain and I felt much more alert by the time she was born.
The slow breathing and the balloon were the things that helped me most. Luis was great - he kept talking and stroking my back throughout.
I feel that I have recovered much more quickly this time - I was not wiped out by the birth like I was with the others, and our baby is feeding well and is very alert.
We did not have much time to practice for our HypnoBirth® and it still made a big difference..."
Abigail, London
“I hope our story will inspire people to know that labour is such a natural process that it is possible to have a wonderful experience. It was brilliant and without the HypnoBirthing® course I would never have considered a home birth.
My baby is so calm and contented and I feel this was because the birth was so relaxed and easy. Also the recovery time after this birth was considerably reduced, within a few days it hardly felt like I'd just been through labour at all.
I had no tears or wounds that needed stitching, as my body naturally took over at the pushing stage and stopped several pushes to make it a gentle passage for my baby to enter the world.
It has been the catalyst for a relaxed and loving start to my baby's life, which I can't thank you enough for, as without you and your course we would never have had such a wonderful experience.
Thank you for your inspiration and encouragement that has given us the best experience of our lives."
Mandi, London
“How could I believe when I had gone through not one, but two long and excruciating labours? I was petrified. Then I found HypnoBirthing®. This birth took 4½ hours. I was relaxed and comfortable all the way. It was wonderful!”
“I was with my wife for the birth of our first child. It was a bad experience for us. Most of the techniques we practiced from the other course just weren’t there for us. HypnoBirthing® was far more than we had even hoped for. Our daughter came into the world so easily and in such a calm atmosphere.”
“I kept telling myself all I would feel is pressure—and it works! That’s all I did feel. What a difference from my first labour!”
“I read of the advantages of self hypnosis and relaxation in a magazine and set out to find a programme that could teach me the method. I’m so happy I found HypnoBirthing®! This was our first baby, and my active labour was only three hours from start to end. We were thrilled.”
