Testimonials

“Helen, you were amazing. Such a breath of fresh air, so passionate about what you teach, and so patient with us all and our questions. You never made anyone feel like their questions were silly, and you made everyone feel safe and comfortable in the learning environment. Your knowledge and way of teaching is just awesome, and I think your positivity really helps instill that confidence in the women that we totally can do this! We will be recommending you and your course to everyone, as I honestly think no matter what the circumstance, there is something for everyone in it, and your work is going to lead to many more beautiful birth experiences for families.
We are so looking forward to ours now!”
Bex and Mike
“Birth is the most incredible, positive experienceand I am forever an advocate of hypnobirthing! Thank you Helen for your unwavering support and encouragement throughout the journey. You are an amazing hypnobirthing coach and we are so blessed to have crossed paths with you and thank you for giving us this gift or a memory that we look upon with absolute awe.”
Kate and Dan
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.”
