Hi Helen, just wanted to start off by saying a huge thankyou. Your course has helped me immensely while I prepare to birth our first baby. I found your course online while researching what would be best for me as a person who’s always wanted a natural positive birth but always had a slight worry for birth until I did your course.
I now feel so ready, excited and prepared to birth my baby with no fear in sight. I am so excited to feel all sensations of birth and every stage of labour! My husband and I both truly feel so prepared and I feel so empowered already. Thank you so much and can’t wait to be in touch once baby boy is here!
Here’s a sample video for you, all about practising relaxation.

My husband Jack and I have just completed your online recorded Birth with Calm and Confidence course.
I was first introduced to hypnobirthing a few years ago by a good friend; while pregnant with her first baby she told me about this amazing course she completed and how it had totally changed her perspective about birth. She shared how she now felt so calm and confident about her birth to come. Although over five years ago now, this always stuck with me and I knew that I wanted to also complete a hypnobirthing course when I was pregnant.
From early on in my pregnancy I have listened to dozens of your Positive Births NZ podcasts, they are an almost constant feature for my walks and long drives! Once I found your podcast I knew it was your course that I wanted to complete! Now at 31 weeks I am feeling excited about our upcoming birth, and feel so equipped with tools to help us have a positive birth experience.
I am loving practising the tools and techniques, and taking time in my day to connect with our baby. I love doing the melt whenever I can, practising the wave breath and I listen the affirmation track daily either while out walking, or even while doing work.
Thank you so much for providing such a fantastic online programme, the recorded course worked really well for our busy schedule, and allowed us to complete everything in our own time, spread over a few weeks. We casted the videos to our TV and loved the time learning together. I am so glad my husband could do this course with me, he took a lot from it and we feel like we are heading into labour and birth really aligned, calm and excited.

Testimonials
“Thankyou Helen for being so passionate about Hypnobirthing and for being such a great teacher. I am so glad this course was recommended to me. My fiance found the classes to be a great way to unwind and he has learnt a great deal – he has also seen the huge difference it has made to me mentally.
We both now have a more positive outlook on pregnancy, birth and life!”
Lucy and Matt
“We were impressed with Helen’s caring nature and the depth of knowledge she possessed. The fact she is a mother & has experience in both clinical and natural birth helped us relate and understand birthing as first time parents. Helen offered specific assistance when doubts reared their ugly head.
We would recommend HypnoBirthing to anyone planning to have a family.”
Lisa and Neil
“We enjoyed the balance of discussion. With my husband being more apprehensive than I towards this approach, he mentioned how fair/honest discussions seemed to be, i.e. it was not wishy washy all one way, there was a good balance. I think this is really important as someone who is slightly more hesitant becomes more open to the idea when knowledge is presented well, openly and honestly.”
