HypnoBirthing

"Elle, thank you so much for coaching us so well, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your advice!

I am spreading the word already!

I am so proud of myself, I would like to tell the whole wide world!

I had a very relaxed home birth after my waters broke a day early in Tescos. During the 7-8 hours of labour, Joe and I prepared the kitchen with the birthing pool, I had two baths, did rainbow relaxations, breathing exercises, visualisations, listened to affirmations, sipped raspberry leaf tea, called my friends, bounced on the birthing ball, watched a DVD..etc...I felt really confident during the whole process and kept calm. And things only got intense for the last hour or so.

Oh, and no tearing either...and the only drugs I had throughout were two paracetamol!"

Kristin and Joe, Brockley

"My husband and I took Elle’s HypnoBirthing course when I was 25 weeks pregnant. From day one of my pregnancy I had irrational fears about labour and it was something I felt silly discussing with my midwife. Although I had read briefly about the method I wasn’t entirely sure how it could help me but Elle’s friendly and relaxed approach instantly put me at ease and by the end of the course I was equipped with a newfound confidence that I thought I would never have. The relaxation techniques Elle taught us and her first-hand knowledge on the subject were truly invaluable; I could have never gained the same experience from any book. I’d recommend this course to every new mother."

"We studied HypnoBirthing with Elle for the birth of our first child, and it enabled us to have a wonderful homebirth - something we would never have considered without doing the course. Elle explained everything really clearly, and was so reassuring and encouraging that the confidence of all the couples grew no end over the duration of the course. I used the relaxation techniques throughout the rest of my pregnancy and they were invaluable during early labour, really helping me to remain calm and relaxed. The whole birth experience was amazing, easier than I had expected and although I would not describe it as pain free, it was definitely manageable - and I had no pain relief except our birth pool - I felt totally in control throughout. I would thoroughly recommend Elle's HypnoBirthing course to all expecting parents and we will certainly be having a HypnoBirthing birth for our next child."

Anna & James, Central London

"HypnoBirthing made all the difference with the birth of my second child Charlie which was an absolute pleasure compared with the agony of my first delivery which left me feeling as though I had been hit by a bus. Hypnobirthing meant that we had a really gentle home birth, with no stitches, a fast labour and much quicker recovery as a result."

Hannah & Mike, South London

"The actual process of childbirth was something that had just started dawning on me at about 24 weeks.... and not knowing anything about what it was going to be like, I started to feel a little anxious. However, Hypno-Birthing has completely changed that.

Both my partner and I found it so re-assuring to be able to talk about what might/could happen, and think about strategies and learn techniques that that will help us. We have a really positive outlook on what is coming now, which is how it should be. In addition to that, it was so nice to spend some quality time together, as a couple, with 2 other couples, and Elle, just thinking about us and our baby in such a positive way. Thank you so much!"

Hypnotherapy

"I found the sessions I had with Elle to be invaluable in helping me to focus on my goals and to set my intentions – I always left our sessions with renewed energy and determination. Elle’s non-judgmental and friendly approach put me at ease right away and I was able to relax fully and take advantage of the time where the focus was solely me and my goals. Being a very visual person, I particularly enjoyed the visualisation exercises we did. I would recommend hypnotherapy and Elle in particular to anyone who wishes to lose some weight, no matter how big or small the number." Kelly, Docklands
