Testimonials

     

 H and A booked a private course in their own home. 1st baby and commenced the course at 28 weeks pregnant. We both found Angela to be an amazing guide and she really made us feel special, important and more confident about giving birth. The course was a lot better than we had imagined and was super informative and educational. We liked learning about each stage (of labour) in depth, and the information given regarding what might happen and how to remain calm and relaxed. Everything in the course was extremely helpful and tailored to our needs. The course has encouraged me to choose to birth my baby at the birth centre using the birthpools available there, rather than the obstetric unit. Had I not done this course I would have accepted a labour ward experience without exploring the other options available. My partner would have liked even more relaxations, I found everything excellent.

 Having completed a degree course in midwifery, it's easy to see that your course is taught at a level that is comparable with university modules and teaching standards. It's well researched and supported by latest evidence. That is what sets KGHypnobirthing aside from other methods and why I chose to study and teach KGHypnobirthing.

 If you are looking in to hypnobirthing, then look no further than this page. Angela is an amazing hypnobirthing practitioner and midwife. To briefly describe my pregnancy journey, friends had recommended hypnobirthing, however, to begin with I was a little sceptical. I couldn’t quite get my head around how relaxation techniques could get me through painful contractions and help ease my anxieties about going in to labour. After an initial phone call with Angela, I instantly knew that this would be massively beneficial and would contribute towards the safe arrival of our baby girl. The four sessions that followed, were amazing and as each session passed by, I felt empowered, confident and relaxed. The information Angela provides is invaluable and the different relaxation techniques she taught myself and my birthing partner were not only useful during labour but also the months leading up to the big event! We felt completely in control of the situation and we knew exactly what we had to do when our little girl was ready to meet us. Fast forward to the labour: Hypnobirthing taught me not to panic, we were both relaxed and excited when the time came. A few hours in to established labour, my birthing plan had to drastically change. Without Angela’s knowledge and the techniques we had been taught. I would have panicked in this situation. However, weeks of practicing hypnobirthing techniques got me through a 19 hour labour with very little pain relief. Through breathing techniques and a positive mindset, that I was going to give birth to my baby calmly and safely, got me through and I didn’t feel disheartened that I didn’t give birth the way I initially planned. I was relaxed and happy with the my experience. I honestly cannot thank Angela enough for the support she gave me and my partner throughout our pregnancy journey and I would like to think of her not only as my hypnobirthing practitioner but also a friend. 😊

 Angela was great. She came to us and never actually stayed longer than the 3 hours we paid for, always giving us much more of her time. Great teacher of Hypnobirth and for somebody like me who was sceptical I am completely won over. We cannot wait to put all to the test when our little one arrives. Thank you Angela!

 I could not recommend Angela's course enough. The best investment I have EVER made. Myself and my husband chose to do the private course for more flexibility and also so we could ask questions that we may not have asked infront of other couples. The course allowed me to let go of my fears of labour and childbirth and understand exactly what my body would be doing during the whole process. I was also nervous about induction and interventions but Angela provided some additional material to read about this, which made me feel better informed and confident. My husband was completely onboard and we practiced the relaxation techniques as much as we could. I also fell asleep to the tracks every night. We watched hypnobirth videos on YouTube to see how other couples had used the techniques as well. We planned a homebirth and had everything prepared with fairy lights and candles etc. Unfortunately I become high risk in my last week of pregnancy and my dreams of a homebirth slipped away. BUT! Did I still achieve my empowering and calm birth... YES! How? Because everything we had learnt from the course allowed us to make informed decisions that were right for both me and my baby. I tuned into my body and followed my instincts every step of the way. I had a wonderful empowering and calm labour. Both my husband and myself enjoyed the process of labour. I didn't once feel scared because I knew what my body was doing. I visualised my body opening and relaxing and used the breathing techniques to welcome every surge. I am truly grateful for everything we learnt from Angela. Thank you Angela, from the bottom of my heart ❤

 I was keen to complete a hypnobirthing course to help prepare for labour and birth. I searched on the KGhypnobirthing website for qualified tutors. We decided to go with HDhypnobirthing after reading the reviews and watching Angela’s introductory video. My partner was a little sceptical initially, however since completing the group course, he has first hand experience of the positive outcomes hypnobirthing can achieve. Angela clearly informed us of our choices available for labour and birth. I can genuinely say hypnobirthing truly made a difference leading up to labour, during labour and during birth. It not only made a difference to our wellbeing, but also baby was very relaxed. My partner felt empowered in supporting baby and I throughout labour and birth. You get a resource pack and book to complement the course and techniques. We found this useful when thinking of our own ideas and preferences. Angela is very friendly, approachable and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. It was reassuring knowing additional support was available following the course if needed. We cannot thank Angela enough for the opportunity. Myself and the other ladies from the group course have been in contact for ongoing peer support, which has been beneficial.

 The group workshop course was really valuable, and informative on what we can expect on the lead up to and including the big day. I’m having my first baby so only had the usual horror stories from friends to base my expectations on - after learning the techniques from Angela and getting detailed information about my choices I’m more relaxed about what is to come and confident that I can have the birth I want. My partner was sceptical at first but remained open minded - he really got into the breathing and visualisation techniques and enjoyed the course - he has even recommended Angela at HDHypnobirth to a friend who is also having their first baby. Angela is so welcoming, honest and really informative. She made us feel totally relaxed from the outset and delivered the course at a steady comfortable pace. We totally recommend Angela @HDhypnobirth and because of the course we are and rightly so, focused on the positives of our baby’s special day and looking forward to putting everything we have learnt into practice.

 When my partner first mentioned the hypnobirthing to me I was skeptical. I do not think that the name does it justice as my initial thought was that it would involve some level of stage hypnosis. However having read further into it and seeing how keen my partner was to complete the course I approached it with an open mind. I am glad that I did as the course was not what I expected at all. It was very informative on the science behind a natural birth and how to ensure that both mum and baby had a relaxing experience. From a birth partner point of view the course was good at giving some tips and information to implement at the various stages of labour, as well as relaxation techniques which the birth partner can take part and help in. Angela was very informative and answered all of the groups questions thoroughly, I would definitely recommend her and the hypnobirthing course to anyone who may be considering it but may also be skeptical like I was.
