Midwives' Hypnobirthing Stories

Dear Katharine

Over the last few years as an independent midwife I have had an increasing number of encounters with clients who have had truly beautiful, gentle and calm births. The common factor in these birth seems to be that they have attended your hypnobirthing workshop.

Keep up the good work, I will be recommending your service to all my clients!

At an antenatal visit a mother came in almost shaking with fear:

Her pulse was 127 and her baby's heart was 167.

She was put on the monitor for 20 minutes and at the same time her midwife suggested she listen to Katharine's CD Colour and Calmness...

Dear Katharine,

I had heard of hypnobirthing prior to starting my midwifery training but since being a student midwife I have seen the powerful effects of relaxation and normality of birth versus the totally differently managed labour ward care. This has heightened my desire for normality and increased by interest in hypnobirthing.

I remember when I met my midwife for the first time during my booking. She surprised me by asking where I would like to have my baby. I answered: "At hospital of course!" I had never considered I could or would have a baby anywhere else but in a hospital. It was only later in my pregnancy that a student midwife asked if I'd considered a homebirth that I realised it was a real possibility.

Hello Katherine,

I am an independent midwife working for the London Birth Practice. We refer a lot of women to you and have had rave reviews back, and I feel it is about time I came along and actually saw for myself what I keep preaching to my women! :)

It was amazing!

Your labour was 2.5 hours shorter than I expect and you’ve got a very chilled out baby.

Nothing I have ever come across matches HypnoBirthing.
