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. 

After a very traumatic first labour, I decided to do a birth prep and hypnobirthing course with Stephanie in Tonbridge for my second, I was a little bit hesitant but she made me feel so relaxed and calm and I’m so incredibly grateful for the knowledge she shared as well as the understanding and comfort she provided. I’d definitely recommend!! ❤️

“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!”

“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 is currently having a Hypnobirthing refresher course whilst pregnant with her second. She is preparing her mind and body for another empowering birth experience.
