This is a picture of my back garden this morning. I woke up looked outside, and thought "what must the neighbours think?". Every garden around us is tended beautifully and ours looks like a junk yard. This morning I went to tidy up, said to the children "right, it’s time for a ...

By Sophie Fletcher We’ve just had a really interesting discussion about limbic imprinting on our practitioners forum. There has been quite a lot of research, more than you would think that examines long term impact of experiences in the womb and just after birth. This form of work is called pre ...

To end the week of birth stories, here is Maria and Mike's birth story; one of my favourites. A home hypnobirth. They had attended our class and been really quiet during it, obviously listening! After the class I got a glowing thank you and the news that they had decided to have a homebirth. They ... Read More about Maria, Mike and Livvi’s Home Hypnobirth

We have had several mums who have come on our class and have done HypnoBirthing before but have had a sense of failure as they didn't have the birth they they expected.

“I came in with a very sceptical husband who was telling his mates on Saturday night how fantastic the course was and giving tips to those who are going to be Dads later in the year.
We also learned so many simple things that we wouldn’t have even thought about before like the fact that I find it so much easier to relax when Mike is touching me.”

“I would just like to commend you on designing and running such a really fantastic course! It really has empowered both of us,to the point where most of our fears about birth have disappeared already. We have always wanted to go down the natural birth route, but felt that there was not enough support & advice out there about how to do it drug and pain free. Your course, although short, covered pretty much all aspects that I felt were missing from our antenatal classes & many more. Vic now feels a lot more confidant, and I actually feel like I have a proper role in the whole event, other that driving her to the hospital & sitting on the rocking chair! “

“I did really enjoy the course yesterday and I am definitely feeling much more positive, I was surprised actually by how much Luke and I talked about the course immediately after and the impact it has had on Luke, We both feel like he is more involved now and that he has got an invaluable role to play!”
