We did not know what to expect from Hypnobirthing but we could not be any more grateful that we were introduced to Susanna. The course was informative, fascinating and helped dispel many myths and thoughts we previously had. We were delighted to learn that it was all about creating an environment that would support our birth rather than one model fits all. Having a broad understanding of all our different options and how we can prepare for our birth has been a game changer. We could not recommend Susanna any more highly, she is personable, caring, explains everything without bias and simply wants you to be best prepared for your birth. Thank you for giving us the very best experience. Alex & Alex

Hypnobirthing doesn’t teach you how to have the perfect birth, it teaches you how to have the best possible birth for the type of birth you want and in whatever situation that may arise during that birth, and Susanna is the best person to teach you how to do it. I used hypnobirthing for both of my daughters. I had a bit of experience in mindfulness, but both my husband and I found it invaluable to learn the science involved and why relaxation is so incredibly important in childbirth. The hormones, the muscles, the sheer biology behind it all was staggering. Not only does Susanna know every single detail of it, she explains it with such clarity and with such purpose that it makes you wonder why it’s not taught as standard antenatal practice. The main thing that I learned from our hypnobirthing course is that we had so many choices, regardless of the situation. Both my husband and I practiced our relaxation techniques every day so that it felt second nature for when labour started. It created a greater closeness between us and built a lot of excitement and good anticipation. My first was a completely natural birth with no complications. There was zero fear and we both felt completely in control. It was a very happy time. Everything we could have ever hoped for. My second ended in an emergency c-section after developing sepsis. A terrifying situation that still remained a very calm experience, thanks again to the hypnobirthing. We continued to be in control and were able to exercise our choices. It was believed to have been the relaxation techniques that kept my daughter’s heart at a safe enough rate, when she might have otherwise been in more danger. I don’t believe I could have done that without the specific hypnobirthing preparation we had put in both during and after the course. Susanna cares so deeply about each one of her clients and it really shows. She just wants the very best for everyone, and she knows how to help to make that happen.
Let me start my saying how incredibly skeptical I was about "Hypnobirthing" when my wife told me that this was something she wanted to look into. I reluctantly went along to our first session with Susanna wondering what I had let myself in for, to find that not only was Susanna NOT some sort of hippie like I had initially assumed but also that the course was both logical and incredibly informative about all aspects of preparation for childbirth. At a time were there is almost no support from the NHS because of COVID restrictions Susanna's excellent support and advice both during and after the course helped us to calmly address medical challenges in the later stages of pregnancy and during birth simply just by being well informed in our decision making! I am very thankful that through the Hampshire Birthing Company and Hypnobirthing I was able to feel involved and be useful during childbirth rather than the distant spectator that COVID forced me to be during all of our Antenatal appointments and scans.
We found Susanna's course invaluable. I was a little (my partner was VERY) sceptical about Hypnobirthing but a few friends convinced us to try and we're both so pleased we did. In the very first session she explained the science behind Hypnobirthing - it makes SO much sense and we were sold! I honestly can't imagine how our birth would have been if it wasn't for this course. It really boosted our confidence and I was so excited about labour and birth when we finished. Whilst we had a few 'situations' arise during my labour, we both remained really calm and felt like we were in control. I loved every second and reflect on the birth so positively. I'd also stress, there's nothing Hippy about Susanna, that's part of what attracted her to us. She's totally normal (if that's not doing her a disservice!), and put us both at ease from the start. I think it should be called something like 'really sensible and logical ways to prepare for your best birth' but it's a bit of a mouthful. Thank you Susanna!
I used hypnobirthing for both my kids and it was an amazing experience. Before I read into it, I was scared and worried about labour but by the time my first baby was due, I felt confident and positive. Learning the skills made me understand all the stages of labour and baby movement so I felt completely connected and confident with what was happening at all times. I felt really in control of every contraction and it proved to me that there is honestly nothing stronger than the power of your mind. Every labour is totally different but I used exactly the same techniques for my daughter 3 years later and it was the same story and experience second time round because I had that control and focus like I did with my first. My focused techniques also meant my husband stayed calm too so the whole process helped us get through it as a couple and as a result, I had two very straight forward labours and we left hospital 6hrs after each baby arrived! There are lots of books to read and classes you can do to learn about it all but finding the right teacher is really important. Susanna is grounded, down to earth and a real mum who has been through it all herself twice, so has all the knowledgable, guidance and approachable personality that is needed to guide you and your partner during this incredible time in your life. I’m 100% certain our experience would be entirely different if I hadn’t used hypnobirthing techniques and I have and always will, recommend it to any mum/parents to be!
