Kind Words
'I would highly recommend taking a class with Michelle. I was very nervous around the thought of labour but after our sessions together I feel much more confident going into the experience, even looking forward to it now. Thank you so much Michelle we learnt so much from you. xx'

'We are so grateful to Michelle for guiding us through our first birth journey with such calm, knowledge, and support. Her HypnoBirthing teachings gave us confidence, peace, and a sense of empowerment as we prepare to welcome our baby. She made what felt overwhelming feel possible, and we will carry her guidance with us always.'
Sofia & Aaron
'Michelle’s course was soooo informative & reassuring. We left feeling much more prepared and relaxed about giving birth! Michelle was so knowledgeable and a great presenter - very clear, experienced, warm and interesting. We now know so much more about how we can prepare for a calmer birth & it’s eased a lot of worries! Would recommend this course to EVERYONE.'

Jordy's Birth Story
I was 40+6 and feeling very nervous at the prospect of an induction if he did not decide to come on his own.

And, scan after scan she remained that way, despite my wildest attempts to turn her!
