“Hypnobirthing makes more sense to me now…”
hypnobirthing roots sessions;
“Emma was our saving grace during a challenging time of isolation due to covid. Myself and my partner are both health care professionals so we had a lot of stress due to the pandemic as well as figuring out pregnancy, labour and birth with little to no support from the hospital.
Enter, Emma! She has given us the confidence to trust our instincts, the motivation to push for what we want and helped us see the joy in pregnancy and birth.
She is such a calming person to be around and really validates your thoughts and emotions, our sessions would often run on due to all our questions but she was so patient with us. We both feel ready and in control of our birth and birthing options and I don't think we'd have got to this point without Emma's expertise and kindness. I can't wait for you to meet our baby boy! x”

“I really enjoyed the opportunity to discuss my birth experience with you. It was really useful to voice what I was feeling with someone who wasn’t family and who also listened and understood. I also appreciated the time being carved out for me to have space to reflect, amid the chaos of newborn life!”
“I have come away from the course feeling so empowered and I know my partner feels the same…”
hypnobirthing roots sessions;
“Emma is a fantastic source of insight and knowledge. We have massively benefited from our course with her and I feel much more prepared and ready to trust in my body's ability to birth our baby. The combination of breath work, movement, massage and the explanations of the physical processes of labour has improved our confidence considerably. We also felt Emma was generous, kind, and really invested in our experience - she went above and beyond our expectations. We would recommend nama mama to any parents to be!”

“Your wonderful pregnancy relaxation course has helped me find a way through all this madness though, thank you so much Emma. I would be properly spiralling by now if I hadn’t had those lovely calming Friday sessions to get me in the right frame of mind and to remember to B R E A T H E.”

hypnobirthing antenatal sessions;
“The whole experience went beyond our expectations. Emma was a great tutor and lovely person. The course has given us many tools to empower us throughout our labour and birth. Emma was excellent at projecting her knowledge throughout the course. You could see her passion for hypnobirthing and she had up to date information and could answer all questions thoroughly. Emma thought about all the little touches to make us feel welcome and relaxed in a lovely environment, including lavender bean bags to help set the mode for our relaxation time and delicious snacks to keep us fuelled.”
hypnobirth antenatal sessions;
“It has been amazing having Emma support us on our journey through our second pregnancy using hypnobirthing. Emma’s calm, confident and reassuring approach made us feel at ease right from the beginning. we were supported in our own home which allowed us to feel completely comfortable and able to be as open & relaxed with Emma as we wanted. I know I love giving birth and had a beautiful time with my first for the majority, but a few things from this birth stayed with me and led me to develop anxiety and fear about our next birth. Emma’s classes have allowed me to feel more confident, capable and empowered about how our next babies birthing journey will go. Emma’s fear releasing exercises helped tremendously. Emma has been nothing but supportive & helpful and goes the extra mile. I am very grateful to have had Emma’s support and am excited at the prospect of birthing our baby soon. thank you Emma!”

"Emma is so kind and nurturing, she really listened to me and I felt so comfortable and confident with her. I can't thank her enough and have recommended Emma to my antenatal group already."
hypnobirthing antenatal sessions;
“The course was really informative! I enjoyed learning the reasons why births don’t have to be in hospital and the understanding that our bodies were made to give birth. I felt all the scary stories that I had heard from others became less frightening as a result of the course. I am genuinely looking forward to giving birth!”
hypnobirth mini workshop
“Emma was wonderful, sharing with us much knowledge and breathing & relaxation techniques I can use during the birth. I gained a sense of confidence and felt much of the fear was released surrounding the birth, enabling me to trust my body and giving me a sense of peace, this was wonderful. Emma also had an amazing presence. I felt supported and it was lovely to have her to guide me and to talk to. we honestly were so happy with the session, there isn't anything we could have asked for better.”
hypnobirth antenatal sessions;
“I honestly didn’t really know what we would cover bar the basics, I feel we learnt a lot of techniques so can apply whichever we feel necessary on the day. It was useful for my husband to understand how he can help me & the tools he will need. I enjoyed that it was a small group of us, there was no need to feel nervous to speak up as we were amongst friends. I liked the most that it was taught without pressure. you could take from it what you wanted to. I think it was perfect.”
closing the bones;
“the ceremony was the first time since our birth that allowed me to truly relax into my body and breathe again. Being able to talk about elements of my birth and have those words heard and recognised brought me to a place of understanding that I hadn’t been able to articulate and really helped me to start healing and making peace. The whole ceremony was exactly what my body and mind needed at this moment and it was magical to experience this.”
