Positive Birth
The Positive Birth Movement’s Milli Hill agrees that a Positive Birth does not have to be ‘natural’ or drug-free. And as Katharine Grave’s says? Hypnobirthing always makes a difference!
But however you birth? Birth is a big deal! And aside from your life-long memories of giving birth – studies have shown that Hypnobirthing can have profound and positive effects on both you and your baby. With benefit of lower c-section rates & reduced need for pain relief as well as increased feelings of confidence, control and comfort. Plus higher Apgar scores for babies. So the value of a good birth is immeasurable.
Birth in 2 hours!
Baby arrived today and it was the perfect hypnobirthing experience! I had her at home in 2 hours with no pain relief. I’m overjoyed I was able to do it & can’t send enough thanks to you for helping me, it made the world of difference. Thank you Steph, we’re ecstatic & I don’t have another birth trauma to get over!!
Thanks again,

I'd felt nervous about birth
I’d been induced before was worried about a “natural” birth without the epidural!! I decided to give hypnobirthing a go and I’m SO GLAD I did!
Induced again I had an entirely positive experience. It was incredibly helpful for my husband too. He was more involved & helped remind me of what I’d learnt.
I really liked Steph’s balanced approach. I loved how she was realistic, talking about cs, induction & hypnobirthing.
I would encourage anyone thinking about Hypnobirthing to give it a go. I wish I’d known about it earlier!

We took it in our stride
Steph’s Hypnobirthing classes helped us stay calmer through pregnancy & birth and to feel more confident & informed. It was wonderful to hear such a positive & empowering perspective on birth. My husband knew exactly what to do to support me as my birth partner.
In early labour my contractions were only about 1 minute apart from the beginning but the hypnobirthing breathing & visualisations allowed me to keep my energy up and my focus positive.

I just breathed my baby out! Hypnobirthing allowed me to go with the flow of pregnancy & birth! It put me in a positive, calm & accepting state of mind which was so important. Especially because this was my first pregnancy and I didn’t know what to expect from labour!
Hypnobirthing prepped me with the tools to go! As a result, it made me feel more confident & efficient during my partner’s labour. Meeting Steph taught me that a calm environment is essential for birth. I know the process helped my partner as birth was just over 8 hours.

High Speed Hypnobirthing
My Hypnobirthing journey really started I would say as soon as I found out I was pregnant with Eliot. I had already decided that I wanted and needed my birth experience to be different from the fairly awful time I had had with my first son. I joined an aqua-natal...
Share your good birth story!
Like it or not we’re surrounded by birth negativity. And it’s easy to be scared, because everyone’s telling us to be! But by telling our good birth stories and talking about our birth confidence we can start to turn to turn opinions around and help other people to talk fondly about their births too.
