Your Birth Wish List
I am almost done reading your book and I am LOVING it! I cry happy tears during every birth story that I read and am so excited to meet my baby. I have already been listening to the positive birthing affirmations on a regular basis, and I am practicing my wave breath and melt
Kia Ora, I’m 27 weeks pregnant and was recommended your book by my midwife. Just wanted to say THANKYOU. It is such a wonderful book and has me feeling excited and prepared to bring my little man into the world.”
I read Positive Birth in preparation to study Hypnobirthing. I have read several books on this subject and found Helen’s book to one of the very best. The style of writing is “down to earth,” easy to understand, extremely informative and enjoyable.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in understanding the birth process more fully and/or creating a positive birthing experience.
After expressing my fear for birth to a friend she sent me Helen’s book. I laughed and cried reading the book and was blown away at how much it just all made sense. My perspective of birth has now 100% shifted and i’ have been practising the tools in the book and re-reading it for months. I am due this week and I’m so excited for the birth and to meet our little girl now! I highly recommend this read to anyone who is pregnant and scared for birth!
I am nearly finished the book and absolutely love it. You have completely changed my mind frame about birth. Initially I was very scared of the idea and just thought I’ll ignore it till it happens. After reading your book, I am now excited for birth and really hoping to implement the tools I have learned.
Thank you for such an informative book that is well written and easy to read!
Testimonials
“I am really enjoying the book, I love the way you’ve written it, in such a fun way!

“We enjoyed Helen’s great knowledge of the topics, and her ability to lead the classes, manage the time effectively and interact with the group in such a welcoming and friendly manner. All the resources and materials were so helpful along with Helen’s ongoing support which was amazing”
Katerina and Roy
“What the Hypnobirthing course gave me as a first time dad to be was; a greater understanding of the babies growth and birthing process, it gave both myself and my wife the tools to set up our birth to be what we wanted it to be and it gave me personal a sense of empowerment.
As a first time dad you can feel pretty left out of the whole birth process, especially when you have little or no knowledge on the subject. But with the HypnoBirthing course you gain the tools and confidence to help the birth happen. As birthing companion for my wife I now have a role to play and I know how to do it. Thanks Helen for a great experience.”

What to expect from Helen’s classes
Helen’s classes are well organised, yet relaxed and friendly. Her teaching teaching style is described as “down to earth, practical and inspiring.” As a mother of three children herself, she finds it easy to relate to parents having their first, or subsequent children and looks forward to helping you on your journey into parenthood.
Preparation for Hypnobirthing
Participants will need to prepare by reading the provided materials, listening to the audio tracks and practicing the exercises. The more practice you do, the more it will pay off for you on your baby’s birthing day.
When should I start?
The best time to begin your classes is NOW!
If you are past 15 weeks into your pregnancy then it is never too early to start.
Likewise, it’s also never too late. And it’s certainly better late than never. If you are beyond 35 weeks, you will still find the course very valuable, as long as you complete it prior to going into labour. Talk to Helen about private sessions if you’re in the last few weeks of your pregnancy.
Group classes
Groups are kept small enough to ensure that individual needs are fully satisfied and that techniques are mastered so that you leave feeling confident in your ability to give birth using Hypnobirthing. Groups are large enough to meet like-minded parents who could also become life-long friends.
After your class sessions have completed Helen will provide ongoing assistance via email or phone if you should you have any further questions, queries or concerns.
