Jess
From the moment we met Vanessa we felt so comfortable and supported. Her two day hypnobirthing course was simply real and had plenty of detail. She would go through any questions and concerns with us and took the time to explain everything to ensure we felt confident in the process. We can't thank Vanessa enough for helping us achieve our calm, drug free positive birth experience.

What a wonderful experience we had with our Hypnobirthing teacher, Vanessa. Vanessa came to our home for a 1 day intensive private training session where we learnt so many valuable tips and tricks to help us during labour and birth. Not long after our class my wife gave birth to our first child. The birth was calm and so incredibly special. It lasted 3 hours and was completely natural. We couldn't have done it without Vanessa!
Yolly
It was such an incredible experience and so worth it. Being a nurse, you always hear the horror stories of birth, but Vanessa showed me how in control, relaxed, calm and natural the birthing process can be. She gave us a range of techniques to use and develop to see which one would fit with us. My husband enjoyed knowing what was going to happen and have a purpose throughout the labour and delivery purpose.
Rachel
Baby had some drops in heart rate over the day, so a c-section was suggested. It was a really calm and happy surgery, I had my music playing and was honestly smiling the whole time. The breathing techniques worked so well for me throughout the 20 hours of labour. I'm so proud of myself and how I handled it all, and I know a lot of that comes down to the things we learnt in your class. Thank you so, so much.
