“I honestly can’t thank you Janet enough for your Hypnobirthing course. I’d only ever heard positive reviews and knew I wanted to give it a go!! Especially because I was having my own pregnancy struggles.
Before taking the course, my biggest fear about giving birth was dying during childbirth – tokophobia, an actual phobia, which I never knew existed. And never thought I’d suffer from. There was certain ways I thought this would happen, and there was no way of getting these out my head! Even before, during and after the course, I still struggled daily with health/ death anxiety — especially whenever I saw negative birth stories online or heard horror stories from other people (shame – but they love to do this). My pregnancy was already difficult enough with severe sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum), being admitted to hospital twice. So dealing with overwhelming anxiety on top of that was really tough.
But when the day finally came to give birth, everything Janet had taught us stayed with me — and I actually used it all – practice really does make perfect. The breathing techniques, the positions, understanding birth preferences instead of a strict “plan,” the lingo, communication, grounding myself — it all just clicked. My birth experience was honestly textbook: positive, calm, joyful, and empowering (I would even do it again, and that’s saying a lot)!
Janet guided and taught us in such a supportive and reassuring way, and I truly believe she played such a huge part in helping me have the beautiful birth experience I did. I never imagined I could come out the other side of that fearful mindset with a beautiful baby girl and such positive memories of birth — but here we are.
If you have even the slightest doubts or fears around giving birth, I would wholeheartedly recommend Janet’s Hypnobirthing course. Practice the techniques, stay positive, breathe, and ground yourself — because it really can be done and it is your day!!
Thank you again, Janet. I genuinely couldn’t imagine going through birth without your help and guidance.
Course date: 20th/21st Sept 2025, myself and partner Louis.
