I can't believe it but I managed to have him with no pain relief other than using a tens machine and the pool and I needed no stitches! I definitely think the positive affirmations you spoke about and believing that my body was capable played a huge part in this. Thank you so much for all of your help, I completely underestimated how helpful and big a difference it would all make!

I found the positive mindset you taught us in hypnobirthing really helpful during the birth and I was able to focus on contractions being positive, that they were doing the right thing and although super painful every contraction was one closer to it all being over. Tom was really good at helping me get back on track if it was becoming too much. We worked together like you taught us and it worked really well, particularly during transition and when I was getting tired.

We thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it so useful. I feel I learned more in this class about labour and how to cope than I did in the NHS antenatal classes. I would recommend this class to any pregnant person. I feel so much more confident about my birth and feel that if I keep practicing the techniques I will be able to keep myself calm during labour. My husband also feels more confident about his role in the birth and how he can best support me through it which is great.

Both myself and my husband felt so much more relaxed, confident and excited for the labour and that’s all down to Suzanne. We felt so supported and encouraged to ask questions, engage in discussion and no topic was off limits. I would say this class is a must-do for all parents to help prepare for labour. Thank you so much!

As a University Student who is pregnant, I don’t have a lot of money to spare so I’m very picky about what I choose to spend on in making preparations for my first baby’s arrival. I must tell you that I’m so glad I decided to come to your yoga sessions. I’m feeling so much more confident and better prepared for birthing. Not only that, but I’m taking a different path to self care and nourishment, and it’s spreading to all areas of my life! Due to our weekly meditations I’m feeling so much more in tune with what I truly need and what baby needs. Your depth of knowledge is encyclopaedic and we really get to benefit from the wisdom stemming from your years of experience as a midwife. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you.

I honestly can't tell you how helpful both the yoga and hypnobirthing were for labour/pregnancy - I focussed on my breathing most of labour using the breathing we did in yoga, I was pretty much silent until my body started pushing and found it was really easy to zone out and be totally focussed which I'd never have expected.

My partner and I were so glad we did this course. We came away feeling way more prepared for the birth. Suzanne was amazing. She was so knowledgable, put everyone at ease and created an open forum were no comment/question felt stupid. It was great to have such a knowledgable trainer who clearly felt passionately about the impact of hypnobirthing and genuinely cared about all the participants and them having a positive birth experience.

Hypnobirthing really works! Women would arrive so calm and relaxed I thought I’d definitely be sending them home but then I’d examine them and they’d be in advanced labour!
