Hi Zoe,

It’s so nice to hear from you and thank you for your continuous support.

I thought I’d share a small update with you. After the weekend we spent with you, I felt a deep sense of peace that lasted for days. It was such a calming feeling. But then, as we got busy trying to finish the last bits before the baby arrives, I noticed myself slipping back into a more nervous and stressed state. Recognising this shift, we made a conscious effort to make these last few weeks peaceful, and I can already see the difference. 

We’ve been practicing relaxation almost every night, and I listen to the tracks you kindly provided multiple times a day. I’ve also found a few affirmations and visualisations that work for me. 

Whilst writing out my birth preferences, I realised how empowered I already feel - no matter how things unfold. That feeling was further reinforced when we presented our plan to the midwife. She was incredibly encouraging, saying it sounds very achievable. 

As we enter the final stretch before we welcome our little one, I can honestly say that I feel calm and excited about giving birth. 

I’m very grateful for all the tools you’ve given us and that we attended your course.

I was so very happy with how our little one’s birth went, both for me and my husband but also for our little one herself. She was so alert but so calm when she arrived. I am convinced that our positive experience was (at the very least in part) down to the wonderfully relaxing day spent with Zoe earlier this year.

I would highly recommend The Hypnobirthing Place to others and am really grateful for Zoe’s support, which continues even months later. Zoe’s passion for what she does is obvious, and is especially evident through her interest in the ongoing stories of the families she works with.

I couldn’t recommend Zoe’s hypnobirthing classes enough! It was the best thing we did to prepare ourselves for the birth of our daughter. Even though I had a difficult birth (induction then emergency c-section) due to some complications - I was able to use the techniques and relaxations that Zoe taught us throughout.

She gave me the confidence to ask questions, take time to consider options and stay calm. This meant that I had the best experience possible under the circumstances and felt proud of what I accomplished.

Zoe also is wonderful at facilitating connections within her classes and we made some wonderful friends who’ve been such a support

Don't think twice! Hypnobirthing will dramatically transform the feelings you have towards labour, both during pregnancy and the birth of your baby, but most importantly in the lifetime following!

I have two children, and my husband I have practised Hynobrthing with Zoe on both occasions. As a direct result of her calm and intuitive approach, I feel privileged to look back on both of my birthing experiences with a sense of complete pride and genuine nostalgia.

Following the birth of my son Teddy, my second child, I text Zoe to let her know he had arrived, and to express my obvious gratitude, but also to tell her how immensely proud she should be of herself and her remarkable business. I know for some, birth can be a traumatic experience, which they work hard to overcome and to forget, and for those people I am truly sad! This is the exact reason Zoe should feel so incredibly proud, because her positive teachings provide women with the essential tools to take control of this powerful rite of passage, ensuring it is a positive and memorable experience for all involved.

Thanks Zoe! x

My husband and I took Zoe's course before the arrival of our first baby and it was without a doubt the best thing we did during my pregnancy. Initially dubious about the concept of hypnobirthing, Zoe's expertise and experience coupled with her warmth and understanding made for an eye opening course and as a result our baby girl was born in a birthing pool at our midwife led centre after a dream birth.

My labour was the most wonderful and beautiful experience of my life - so utterly empowering, joyful and gentle and I couldn't recommend Zoe enough to other parents out there.

Thank you Zoe !

My husband and I did a couple of hypnobirthing sessions before the birth of our little boy. I found the classes really interesting and informative (we learnt a lot that wasn't covered in our antenatal classes). Zoe was really professional but still ensured a really relaxed, open environment. I found the visualisation and breathing exercises really useful and I think at least in part as a result of having done the course, I really enjoyed the labour. I would highly recommend hypnobirthing and Zoe.

Sarah

Another recommendation for Zoe and her hypnobirthing classes. Following a stressful first birth I was anxious for a smoother experience second time around. Zoe is a brilliant, engaging teacher-involving both myself and my husband to ensure we were both really well prepared for labour. After taking the classes with Zoe I immediately felt more relaxed, more in control and actually excited for labour to start! Zoe was on hand throughout our pregnancy to answer any queries we had.

It was so great to have someone so supportive on hand. I even called Zoe during my labour and she talked me through my breathing over the phone.

The birth of our second boy could not have been more different from our first experience. The breathing techniques, visualisations and relaxation methods we learnt were vital. I'd highly recommend Zoe to anyone feeling unsure or anxious about childbirth, Zoe's classes taught me not to be scared which in turn helped me to have a smoother labour.

Thank you again! S&S xx

My husband and I recently completed a hypnobirthing course with the lovely Zoe. It was so brilliant - by the end of the day, we both felt so relaxed and excited about the arrival of our little one. Zoe's course is the best preparation; I feel confident and calm and we are both enjoying practicing the relaxation techniques at home so thank you Zoe for your expert help. x

My husband and I took a hypnobirthing course with Zoe from The Hypnobirthing Place. Utilising the techniques gave me a great deal of confidence to navigate having our baby in hospital. The combination of resources provided by Zoe including relaxation techniques, partner massage and an education in the physiology of birth combined meant by the end we were empowered and also excited about the birth of our baby. Zoe is very warm and creates a safe supportive environment where we felt at ease to speak openly about our fears. I learnt that birth is not something to endure but something that could be amazing, epic even, despite any setbacks. Zoe gives you the tools to create a positive and calm labour experience but also an opportunity to work through fears which is incredibly powerful. For couple who may be a bit nervous about having their first child, I highly recommend the courses at Hypnobirthing Place.
