"Hi Carrie . Thank you so much for going to all the effort to do your class online. Sure was a different way however we are so grateful to have been able to still participate.
Saturday was the first time using zoom and I must say that is was so much easier than I was expecting. A simple click on the link you had sent through and there we all were. We had no issues with connection or sound. It was great you could mute everyone so there was no interruption with background noises and when we needed to ask questions we could. You have done a great job with it all. It was quite warming to learn during your class that the fathers have just as an important and hands on role as the mums do, that its more about team work than anything. A huge thank you again, we have taken a lot away from your class and will highly recommend you to others. "
"Hi Carrie. The workshop went really well. I know it must have been completely different for you to deliver online rather than face-to-face workshops. Your explanations were good and gave us enough time to focus on what we needed to take-away. The sound and video quality were good as well. Couldn't fault it, I love Zoom. My partner really enjoyed having a hands-on learning experience, with some really helpful tools to make him feel apart of the process. We haven't had a birthing class like that, SCUH class is all about medical interventions and drug options. Last time we both had no idea what to do and he felt hopeless while I was in pain. I think he feels more in control, confident and able to help. The biggest takeaways for us would be the visual diagrams of the birthing positions using gravity, the transitioning from home to hospital and linking that to the stress response, birthing of the placenta (I had no idea), and of course the practical hands-on skills were amazing! (i just have to remember them, practice them, and then use them). Thank you so much!"
Carrie thank you SO much for guiding my husband and I so gracefully through the journey of pregnancy and motherhood (parenthood). We couldn't have done it without you! The birth of our daughter Poppy was the most incredible experience of my life and it created such an amazing bond between my husband and I because we did it together. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I would like to credit Carrie for the work in which she does and the support in which she gives. Paul and I are so grateful to have met her and would highly recommend anyone who is pregnant or planning on having a baby to see her. Each session Paul would come home and ask more questions and want to know more which for me was great as I think it prepared him to be a wonderful support partner.

"Thank you Carrie for all of the strength and knowledge you have given me over my last two pregnancies. After a 40 hour, traumatic labour ending in an emergency c-section with our first I wanted to do my best to have a positive experience the second time around! I am so happy that I found you and that we experienced your HypnoBirthing course for our second birth. It was still long (at 20 hours) but it was a calm and beautiful birth with no drugs or intervention. Michael felt more empowered and more involved which was wonderful!"

Carrie was a vital part of our support and education in this journey and I'm over joyed to share I achieved my med-free, VBAC, water-birth. Samantha |
The most significant thing that I took away from classes was a deep trust in my body and its ability to work with our baby to have a positive birth experience. Rachel |
I cannot thank you enough for the pivotal role you played in our journey, the knowledge you shared in hypnobirthing class and for being present at his birth. Sara |
Babies who experience the calm of HypnoBirthing in the womb and during their birth are more likely described as calm, content and happy as both babies and older children.
HypnoBirth babies are also more likely to be to be good sleepers, as well as easy and alert babies. Read more >> |
It’s important to understand that labour and birth are involuntary.
Your uterus contracts spontaneously first to open your womb and then to give birth to your baby. All of this happens without your conscious control. The breathing techniques taught in HypnoBirthing allow you to work with your body. It knows what to do! |
