I am so priviledged to do this work…
My partner and I did a zoom course with you in Jan – I called you late last week and you were kind enough to answer, I had some urgent questions around inductions.
Just writing to say thank you so much for taking the time to chat, I’m really grateful, it meant maybe more than you know to feel like I could reach out. Like your course, you were calm, clear and empowering, and I actually went on to have a positive induction experience – I was induced on Sunday and had a healthy baby girl on Monday afternoon, Im convinced having an informed and clear mind set helped everything go smoothly (plus it helped she was in an enormous hurry! She was born within 1.5 hours of waters breaking, so no epidural or syntocin either). we’re delirious with joy.
Ngā mihi ki a koe.
Thanks again, from a grateful new mum,

What an AMAZING course!
We are still buzzing over how interesting and engaging it was. At first we were a bit disappointed about the fact that it would be online, therefore thinking that it would not be as good, but oh how we were wrong!
We have learnt so much and can’t wait to catch up with our new coffee group. You brought just the right amount of everything and we cannot thank you enough!! We hope to catch up soon.
Take care,
Suzy and Shivy ❤

Thank you so much for an incredible antenatal class and for all these resources you’v sent through. We really loved your class, found you kept us engaged which can be challenging over zoom sometimes and all the information was so vital – we definitely learnt a lot! And went away feeling excited and more prepared for the new journey ahead.
One thing I really valued was your approach to birth/natural birth, I think it changed Ben’s perspective on birth (and the epidural). I also learnt a lot and this made me feel more confident about a natural birth being my preference.

Thank you so much for the course yesterday. It was really helpful and I was super impressed that you managed to keep my husband Pat engaged and listening throughout. I thought it may have been a battle to keep him listening in the zoom format!

Martin & I just wanted to pass on our sincere gratitude and thanks for today it was honestly amazing more than we expected and more. Especially facilitating over zoom it was so informative and we learnt so much and can’t wait for our birth experience and to incorporate a lot of the things we learnt today. Ange

Postpartum Doula
Michele slotted herself seamlessly into our life and seemed to just know what we needed to be done to help, even when we didn’t know ourselves. Jon still calls her Mary Poppins as we couldn’t believe how much she got done in 4 hours. As well as the practical support, I just loved sitting at the kitchen bar with Alfie chatting to Michele while she cooked. I really looked forward to Michele’s visits in those crazy early days and genuinely think her support enabled Jon and I to relax – which meant that Alfie is a superbly chilled, curious happy baby. I recommend Michele to anyone having a baby – whether you have family to support or not.

HypnoBirthing
When I look back on my birthing experience I feel so empowered. It was phenomenal, and although painful, I’m so proud of what I achieved. I honestly believe the reason why I coped so well and did not need any pain relief (not even Panadol) was because of what I learnt through hypnobirthing – and learning the breathing techniques in particular. In the month leading up to my birth, I eliminated all stress from my life, had regular massages with Moira and practiced the hypnobirthing techniques – it’s truly a mindset that you need to commit to 100%. During birth I didn’t let fear or the pain take over me, that’s why the breathing techniques are so amazing. I channeled all my focus and energy into them and didn’t let anything else in – I personally think that is the key. We are so smitten with our little man, such a wonderful life changing experience

Birth classes and Doula
Doula – My husband and I were in your class today. We found it really useful and informative – thank you for a great class! We had not considered a doula previously, but after looking further into it this evening we wondered whether you have availability in February. We have had a long road to get us to this point of our pregnancy, and I would like to try a natural birth. We really think it would be beneficial to have birth support person that was separate to the medical team.
