‘Weekly pregnancy relaxation class.

Where do I even begin?

Firstly thank you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for going above and beyond. You turned the biggest scariest time of my life into the most exciting and pleasurable experience. I am no longer scared of pregnancy & birth. Instead I feel empowered, informed and grateful. Being pregnant and then weeks later entering a pandemic was not how I planned my first pregnancy, or birth. Locked down, no one to share it with, no ante natal classes, no NCT to meet other mums and very limited contact with midwives was a really lonely time. My weekly relaxation with you got me through, week by week. I looked forward to it & for someone who struggles to relax… you cracked it. My little boy is now 18 months old and to this day I still use your techniques and breathing to get me through challenging situations. Birth is only scary if you don’t understand what’s happening, so people need to know that they should get informed and allow themselves the best investment they’ll ever make.

Thank you Hannah, for not only leading your classes but keeping in contact regularly throughout to just check on us, to keep us going and finding out answers to questions that cropped up along our journeys. You are a beautiful soul & I will never forget how you helped me bring my baby into the world! Hopefully I’ll be back for round two one day! X’ Kayleigh

' Hannah has been a godsend during my pregnancy and I wish I had found her sooner. Our zoom sessions have helped enable me to feel so much more positive about labour and birth itself; I feel much more empowered than I did before I was lucky enough to start the sessions. Hannah is soooo passionate about what she does and that has infiltrated through to me! She is so knowledgeable, personable and empathetic. She has been able to easily personalise course content for what I needed to find out, pointed me in the direction of useful resources, sent her own resources to help such as relaxation mp3s and has frequently made sure that my partner is included (even if he couldn’t be present for zoom sessions). I wish I could have Hannah at my labour but I will definitely be putting the things into practice that I’ve learnt from her. Thank you so much for all you have done! '  Lyndsey

'My partner and I loved our hypnobirthing course with Hannah. As first time mums it was important for us to know our options and we wanted to do everything as natural as possible. Hannah has so much incredible knowledge and was always kind, funny, sensitive and warm. There wasn’t any part of me that was nervous about my birth and I truly feel that Hannah helped with this.
We learnt so many useful tools that we used leading up to my labour and during. Unfortunately my labour didn’t go anything like we’d planned but I really do feel that hypnobirthing helped with everything, including my recovery.
I couldn’t recommend Hannah enough, she’s just fabulous. 🥰' Lucy

'I was nervous that hypnobirthing wouldn’t work for me, knowing that I needed an induction three weeks early due to my own health complications, I felt like all control was being taken away from me!
Hannah reminded me that my body was still equipped with all the same hormones and muscles and that I could still fully implement hypnobirthing. She gave support, advice and techniques that were wonderfully empowering and I managed to remain calm and have a smooth birth, bringing my beautiful daughter in to the world six weeks ago 🥰
Thank you Hannah, your kind, warm, friendly personality really settled those nerves and il be recommending you to all my future pregnant friends ❤️' Marisa

‘I feel so lucky to have met Hannah, it was by pure chance in the playground and very fateful I feel! The hypnobirthing techniques she taught me not only relaxed me in the weeks leading up to birth, but also gave me something very special the day I went into labour.  I had the amazing experience of feeling the connection between my baby being born and my breathing being part of it happening. No tension. Each contraction I felt a sense of progress as I knew what my breathing was achieving. And within the final stages of labour, the down breathing gave me the focus I needed to stay calm and I breathed my beautiful baby into the world and into my arms.’ Sam, Saltdean

 “The hypnobirthing course I did with Hannah made a big difference to my experience of pregnancy and birth. Having a guide to using breath and relaxation to manage labour was completely invaluable and also really contributed to my wellbeing in a tricky pregnancy. Hannah is really positive and a great advocate for hypnobirthing from her own real experiences, while being really responsive and non-judgemental. She is also great to chat to about the nitty gritty stuff of pregnancy, antenatal care and birth. It was so lovely to have someone so supportive on the path with me- and something definitely worked- as I was nine cm dilated when I got to hospital!” Jo

“Hannah supported my partner and me in the run-up to the birth of our first baby. She was fantastic!  I went from denial that I was going to have to give birth(!) to looking forward to that day. Hannah is not only experienced in hypnobirthing but she is also a kind and caring person who will be genuinely delighted to help you during pregnancy and in preparing for the birth, which is what makes her the perfect person to support you. She gave us the confidence, as well as the tools and techniques, to feel excited about the day that we got to meet our little boy and I can't imagine having done it without her."  Zoe

"Hannah helped me to move on from negative feelings around my first birth, and gave me the confidence and knowledge to have an amazing home birth with my second baby. I would thoroughly recommend Hannah and her hypnobirthing course to any expecting parents." Emma
