Testimonials
'We first came across hypnobirthing fairly early on in pregnancy and slightly dismissed it believing it was all about finding my inner tofu-loving sunbeam! However I am so pleased we came back to it and decided to give it a go. There are many reasons to do hypnobirthing and the relaxation skills I developed were invaluable during what was a fairly tricky labour. The best thing about it though, and in particular lessons with Susanna, was that it really gave my husband a chance to connect and be part of the preparation for the birth of our child. We were able to truly work together as a team to bring our baby into the world which gave me a huge amount of support and gave him a true purpose in what is often a bit of a spare-part role! Susanna was a wonderful teacher, incredibly intuitive as to what we needed, gentle, informative and someone who we could really laugh with. I cannot recommend her enough!' - KP
