I did the hypnobirthing course ahead of having my first child. The sessions were so helpful in keeping my calm in hospital. I have recommended to all my friends.

Really enjoyed the course and feel like hypnobirthing is a useful tool for me to use as I approach the end of my pregnancy and the birth of my baby.

The credit for my appointment to the board should really go to you. Having failed the previous year I was incredibly nervous about the interview and procedures, my mouth was dry and I was particularly anxious about the social events that I was also assessed on. I enjoyed visualising the interview panel as young school children with squeaky voices, I stood tall and felt relaxed at all the events and the whole process was almost enjoyable as I had turned it into myself ‘interviewing the panel’ rather than the other way round. It still amazes me how you helped to transform my mind – many thanks.

Great course and brilliant value for money. A very knowledgeable practitioner who is available to answer questions and personalise input where needed. The free relaxation sessions were invaluable to relieve stress and anxiety and I truly believe that hypnobirthing provided me with the positive birth experience I had. Would recommend!

I came to you after many failed rounds of IVF, we were desperate and had nowhere to turn. Your calm approach, understanding of our experience and expert guidance to change our outlook was invaluable. It helped us reassess our plans, take the time to prepare our bodies and book the next round. BUT to our great surprise we fell pregnant naturally! Just what you said, once the mind is relaxed and in a good space the body feels it’s safe to conceive. Our beautiful little boy is the proof. Thank you.

I wasn’t too sure about hypnotherapy, I was worried I’d be out of control but you made me feel very comfortable from the start. The work has been incredible, truly life changing. When I think back to how I was only a few months ago I was a different person. It was such a relief to detach from my ex and at last move on. Learning to like myself was interesting but definitely helped.

Your sessions were like a mind massage – I couldn’t have coped with the rollercoaster journey that our fertility issues have taken us on. Keeping my mind calm through all the appointments, information, decisions and then treatment was vital. I liked connecting to my ‘family deep inside’, and I was relieved to be less bothered by pregnant friends and colleagues. Thankfully the 2nd cycle worked and the techniques I learnt kept me calm through the pregnancy too. I’m so grateful.

I wanted to say a HUGE thank you. I came to one of your sessions last year from North London with my husband Laurie, recommended by a friend. Anyway, after being absolutely petrified and really very frightened about labour before your course I ended up having the most amazingly quick and (relatively) painless labour!! I gave birth a day early to a beautiful little girl. I managed to get to UCH fully dilated (I didn't know I was until the next day) - I made my first call at 1.10am in the morning to my sister and gave birth at UCH (just) at 2.43am!! The whole experience was truly and unbelievably pain free. One of the nurses came into the room the next day at the start of her shift to meet me - she wanted to know if I was thefully (as in dilated!!) and asked me if I had done anything to prepare - I said hypnobirthing with you, she then said she thought so - she was actually a teacher and thought that I must have done hypnobirthing as from her 25 years as a midwife the labours that go the best are always via hypnobirthing!

I had a little girl 7 weeks ago, and had a very easy labour - 7 hours long, no pain relief apart from a TENS machine, I listened to the recordings throughout and the breathing techniques helped enormously. It definitely wasn't pain free, but I think that the main benefit of hypnobirthing for me was that I didn't panic at any point, and felt very relaxed the whole way through. I was extremely lucky though as it was totally straightforward with no complications. I thought I would let you know as you mentioned you'd like to hear how it went! Hope you are very well, and I would definitely recommend your services to anyone else.

Our son Frederick was born on 10 May 2011 weighing a whopping 4.08 kilos. We’re both doing really well, came home the same day and getting to know each other. The hypnobirthing was amazing and worked so much better than I could ever have hoped – we stayed at home until I was 9cm open and I have to say I found it totally manageable by just breathing and focussing through the surges. I also used a TENS machine which I think was quite good. Freddie was then born in the pool and it was all very calm. Olly couldn't believe that I never shouted at him once – better than just a usual day!

I highly recommend Kristin and The Hypnobirthing Experts. The videos and MP3 downloads helped me to remain relaxed and feel in control during my pregnancy and throughout my labor. I ended up needing an emergency c-section and listening to the Mp3 downloads during my labor helped me remain calm and accepting of the unexpected turn of events. Thank you Kristin! I recommend this course to everyone.

Our daughter arrived safely on the 4th November. She weighed 6lb 14oz and is just adorable. (Biased Mum already :o)) She was a hypnobirthing baby, also natural delivery with only gas and air and TENS machine. We had a wonderful experience at the home from home centre at St Thomas. Everything went really well and she was delivered very comfortably with the support from Ben and our amazing midwife. Just want to thank you for the course. Both Ben and I look back on the birth with a lot of happiness and positivity and that certainly was a result of hypnobirthing and your invaluable support.

These hypnobirthing sessions were magical in a time of crazy uncertainty in the world. I did the hypnobirthing sessions at the start of the pandemic. My husband was unable to be with me during the last months of my pregnancy and also the birth of our baby due to national lockdowns. Hypnobirthing kept my mind at ease and my body and soul relaxed and receptive to the beauty growing within. I highly recommend it to any pregnant lady!

Our beautiful son was born on Tuesday afternoon. As we had managed to convince the hospital to give us the normal amount of time before an induction, the whole process happened naturally. First contractions woke me up at 2.30am but I put the MP3s back on and managed to doze intermittently until 6am. My waters broke at 8am but, annoyingly, the contractions stopped! Due to the polyhydramnois, I had been told to go straight to hospital as soon as my waters had broken so we were seen at the Ante Natal Day Unit at 10.30. They monitored me and were happy with what they saw so booked me in for an induction for the following day. Before going home, we had lunch in the M&S cafe there and I experienced a return in contractions. They became more intense and by the time we walked back to the car park (around 1pm), I had to take some time out in a lavatory. The pain was pretty intense and I was really disappointed that early labour was so painful and scared that I wouldn't get through it without enormous amounts of drugs. Steve finally managed to persuade me to move far enough to unlock the door and immediately wanted to get help but I was scared of being left alone. After some effective negotiation and soothing techniques, he ran out and found a radiologist who asked two porters to take me back to the ante natal day unit. When they examined me, they found that I was 9cm dilated! I was rushed to a delivery room where our son was born 11 mins later! It was an extraordinary and slightly surreal experience. Even yesterday, it still felt like an odd dream. Anyway, the main purpose of this email is to thank you for teaching hypnobirthing to us. It really helped me to have a birth that I would never have thought possible.
