Testimonials

ALICE

I cannot recommend Sarah enough - there are simply no words to express my gratitude toward her. She transformed the third trimester of my pregnancy through her teaching and gave me the tools to feel empowered & informed throughout the process of birthing my first baby. Although my birth didn't follow the path I had pictured, I was able to maintain a tranquil environment - feeling calm & relaxed even throughout an emergency cesarean. At one point a midwife & a doctor commented that my delivery room felt 'like a visit to the spa'! The techniques we learnt with Sarah have continued to play a role in our parenting with Bill; remaining calm and together throughout even the trickier night times! Sarah has been on hand since our course via message/text & I now tell every pregnant person I know to get in contact with her. I wish everyone would complete a birthing course with Sarah - the world would be a much happier & calmer place!

OLIVIA

We did the course with Sarah and it was brilliant. The course really enabled my husband/birth partner to be fully involved. It prepared us the best we could for birth. We learnt soo much about birth. Sarah taught us techniques we could do together to keep calm and relaxed. We practised in the run up to the birth listening to tracks. I can fully recommend this course if you are pregnant. It really helped me stay calm through labour and birth and even in stressful moments of parenthood. Thanks again Sarah.

EMMA

I can't thank Sarah enough for bringing hypnobirthing into our lives! I wasn't fully aware what hypnobirthing was when I took the course I just knew as a first time Mum I was terrified of labour after hearing nothing but horror stories but that was very quickly put to rest after just my first session. Sarah is amazing at what she does, she goes above and beyond and was even messaging my husband while I was in hospital being induced. Despite not having my planned water birth and suddenly being induced 2 weeks early my labour was nothing but incredible! I remained calm throughout with the help of the breathing techniques and tracks and managed to bring my son into a relaxed environment pain relief free. As a family we still listen to the tracks now! Thanks for changing our whole outlook on labour, for changing my whole mind set and for teaching me to have a beautiful labour! I can't recommend hypnobirthing enough it truely is a beautiful experience and you couldn't find a better teacher than Sarah.

EMMA'S HUSBAND TOM

Cannot recommend Sarah highly enough! When me and my wife decided to do the course I was very sceptical about doing it as I just thought it wasnt something men could interact with but I was very wrong, I soon realised I had a very big role to play in supporting and encouraging my wife through birth, which with Sarah's excellent tuition helped my wife to breeze through a very smooth, pain-relief free birth. Not only was she great during the course, but she was even there to offer advice by text during labour. Thanks so much Sarah, we now have a very chilled baby boy!

CLARE

What I took most from the course was the confidence that my body and my baby would know what to do when labour kicked in and that all I had to do was relax into it, which I felt I achieved even though I didn't have the birth I'd written into my ideal birth plan. Hypnobirthing is something I definitely would reccomend to prospective parents as it was one of the things that gave me the grounding to being the best mum I can!

NATALIE

The hypnobirthing honestly helped beyond words, I stayed calm the whole time and it helped Richard too. My birth plan and calm quiet water birth went out the window but I didn't care. Its also helped with the post operative pain. I'm soo please we met you. Thank you!!!

FLORENCE

Well I’m so glad I met u and did the course... worth every penny.
My husband was my absolute rock! And kept pulling me back to concentration when the pain started to take over, but I did it, ‘pain relief’ free and via induction (which a couple of midwives said normally everyone has an epidural!) so I’m super proud of myself.

I felt in control and during the break between surges I was so relaxed that I felt I had a mini snooze so it spurred me onto the next one and the next. Thank you so much for all your help we are both so grateful.

KAYLEIGH

Birthing baby was nothing like I had imagined, I remember thinking as it was happening -all that time and energy I had wasted listening to peoples 'top trumps' of birthing horror stories. My body took over and knew exactly what to do, just as the wise hippo programme tells you! The wise hippo teachings have been priceless for me, they made the run up to labour, labour and even anxieties post labour completely manageable and relaxed me, I cant thank you Sarah enough!

ALISHA

I feel so proud that I was able to really just take control and make everything so positive throughout pregnancy, labour and now! Lee was also the most amazing support. He keeps saying to people that I was amazing but I correct him because we were amazing. We were a team. I think your course is so important for men perhaps even more than women. He learned so much and really took it in. He reminded me things that I had forgotten. It just helped us feel so much more educated about what was happening. I can’t speak highly enough about it all. I want everyone to really invest in themselves and do it because it’s so unbelievable and has been the best experience ever.

KATE

The hypnobirthing really helped me, I was breathing through contractions and only used gas and air once the pain ramped up. For me, I wasn’t scared when my waters broke, just full of anticipation and excitement that I was going to finally meet my baby. It helped prepare me - a normally anxious person and that was invaluable.”

SUZANNE

It was calm and relaxed the whole way through and without everything hypnobirthing taught me I’d never of had the confidence to think I could of had such a good birth even when the plan changed. I’m so glad I came across your sessions it made a world of difference.

RICH

Thank you #Devonmama Thanks to hypnobirthing we had a positive birth, and even though it wasn’t our planned place of birth, we stayed calm and relaxed. People are sceptical about hypnobirthing but from a fathers point of view we couldn’t have done it without everything you taught us. Thank you Sarah

With no pain relief not even gas and air Isla was born at 5:39am into a calm atmosphere which I’m sure is why she is such a calm chilled out baby. My midwife said that it was the calmest labour she’d ever been at.

Throughout the labour I kept thinking of my sessions with Sarah and all the wisehippo techniques. I honestly don’t think I would’ve had the labour I had if it wasn’t for Sarah and The Wise Hippo.
