“I recently did a Hypnobirthing “refresher” session with Janet after doing amazing one to one course three years ago before the birth of my first baby. That birth had been a very special experience and remains my most treasured memory.
I wanted the same experience again but began to feel a little wobbly during my second pregnancy so decided to get in touch with Janet.
Seeing Janet again was like meeting up with an old friend. Our session was completely tailored to what I needed. This was to revisit some Hypnobirthing techniques (these had served me so well during my first labour) and to talk through some of my anxieties around birth. I needed this chat to reestablish the trust I had in my body to achieve a positive and natural birth.
When I left the session I felt a renewed calm and confidence; I knew I could do it again.
Baby number two was born calmly and gently at home in under an hour. Again, it was a very special experience.
Breathing through each contraction, trusting my body and keeping relaxed have helped me to have two fantastic births.
However for me, the sessions with Janet were about so much more than Hypnobirthing techniques. During our meetings I had the opportunity to ask questions (and I asked a lot of questions) and spent time learning about labour and birth. The knowledge and understanding that I gained enabled me to make informed decisions about how I wanted to birth my babies.
I am so glad that I made the choices that I did. I had both of my babies at home and I know that without Janet I would not have had the confidence to do this.
I will always be grateful to Janet for her support and guidance and feel that it is because of her that I have had two wonderful births! ”
