'I am so grateful to Sally - signing up to her hypnobirthing course was the best thing we did for our pregnancy journey!
Not knowing anything about hypnobirthing before, I didn’t really know what to expect - but the sessions made us feel confident, informed and excited about giving birth.
I went into hospital feeling calm and excited, rather than nervous and fearful as I would have done otherwise, and we had a really positive experience that I will treasure. Sally’s sessions were tailored to our concerns and worries, with lots of personalised relaxations and meditations, and were wonderfully relaxing
- we did a mix of online sessions and
some at Sally’s home, where she made us feel really welcome.
The sessions helped us to bond with our baby before she arrived, and also supported my partner and I to think beyond the birth and what things we could put in place to help us both navigate our new world!
My partner also found the sessions so helpful - hypnobirthing is definitely useful for dads to be as well.
I’d highly recommend Sally’s hypnobirthing course to anyone considering it
- you’ll be so glad you did it!
Thank you Sally for everything :)'
'Sally is amazing person and professional, who loves people,
babies and what she does.
The course with her was very helpful, informative, eye opening, educating and helped us to prepare for birthing. We both changed our perception of birthing process.
I do appreciate all support and love
we had during the course,
preparing for birth and even after.
Do not hesitate to choose Sally,
she knows what she does and
she is very well connected and
works closely with midwifes
so for any question you will have needed reply.'
'Sally helped me to have a very positive VBAC birth of my second child.
My husband and I did the private session
of her Hypnobirthing course.
First Sally helped me to stop thinking about the trauma I had in the birth of my first daughter 10 years ago. After that she showed us how my body works and what to do every step of labour. Then she also made me feel empowered and informed
to make choice in any situation.
Near my due date, Sally gave me all the support and information I needed to help my labour starts.
At the end I had a powerful and beautiful birth in the hospital where I could decorate the room with Sally positive Affirmations, Himalayan light and photos of my love ones. My husband and I did the movement and position that Sally showed us and
I managed with gas and air until the end. During my postnatal Sally was supporting me with information and contact for the breastfeeding which was very difficult and complicated for me and my baby.
Sally is a wonderful professional and human being!
I recommend her course and Doula services 1000 times !!'
