The Mindful Birth Group® Opiniones 154

My husband and I took a 1:1 course with Claire which was invaluable to my pregnancy and birthing journey. I felt so excited by labour (something I had previously been terrified of) and I felt in control when making birthing choices that were right for me when speaking with nurses and midwives. Changing my perception of birth as a result of the course consequently played a big part in the success of my birthing experience and I’m so grateful to Claire for it. I couldn’t recommend enough and it was some of the best money we spent. Thank you! Xx

From day one Rhonda was welcoming, spending time to understand our individual needs as first time parents and ensuring that we understood the mindful course content. Nothing was a silly question and on reflection the knowledge and confidence we gained over the course duration was phenomenal. Our group was small, which we valued as it allowed our voices to be heard.

Thank you so much Rhonda! You’ve certainly made us feel more prepared and ready to welcome our little one. That’s priceless 🌟

As a first time surrogate the sessions both my husband and I, along with the Intended Parents, had with Laura were an absolute game changer!

Laura held multiple sessions with us as individuals and collectively as a group to address the various aspects of the process and speaking on behalf of my time with her it was so valuable. Laura creates a safe environment where you feel comfortable to ask anything and takes time to make sure things are relayed in a way which is relatable and understandable.

I had a very speedy labour and I truly believe the tools Laura equipped us with got us through as a team. My own experience especially was a lot ‘easier’ than I felt it could have been with out her education and support. I walked in more mentally prepared than my first birth and walked away feeling proud of the application of the techniques we discussed.

Thanks Laura!

5* - So pleased we took this course.

Claire our mindful Birth tutor was fantastic and helped my anxious feelings towards towards birth.

Claire makes you feel calm and relaxed and put me at ease.

We had lots of special circumstances during labour but with my birth plan in place and knowledge of all the things I could control there have been some positive thoughts I will always remember from the birth of my son! Doing it with my husband also meant he had the birth plan as well and could advocate my wishes for me during birth.

We completed our course (surrogate and intended parents) virtually with Hilary, it was so useful for us all to discuss the birth and post birth, Hilary was so kind and knowledgable and it was a really relaxed atmosphere, we covered lots of different topics and nothing felt like a silly question, I would highly recommend the mindful birth group to anyone.

Rachel was our birth doula and we also did a private antenatal course with her. We learned a lot and appreciated doing the course fairly early in pregnancy to build on ahead of the birth. Rachel provided invaluable support and guidance and was always available to talk when we needed reassurance. We felt far more empowered to make informed decisions leading up to the birth thanks to her. Rachel is incredibly kind, calm and knowledgable and we're forever grateful she was with us at the birth of our baby. We've already recommended her to friends!

We did our course with Rhonda.
It became something that we looked forward to every week, time with her and us together to talk about the process of bringing our baby into the world. The first week without the class we really missed it!
Rhonda was so warm, well informed, non judgemental and tailored the course to us (I have some experience working in maternity but my husband was completely new to it all). We finished the course feeling excited and prepared for birth and so much less fearful of the process. I'd highly recommend the course.

Unbelievable experience with Rachel , she positively helped my labour and honestly couldn’t have done it without her,was a total different experience than my first Labour wish I’d known about Rachel then. I didn’t have the best pregnancy but whenever I talk to to people about my labour I say I’d do it again , I actually enjoyed it and find it the most amazing experience. Can’t thank you enough Rachel 🩷🩷

Laura is amazing, not only is her course incredibly informative and helpful but Laura has a very peaceful and calming vibe which provides the perfect environment for learning and soaking up lessons on hypnobirthing/pregnancy and labour. Laura gives you the knowledge in all of your options so that you feel empowered when it comes to your positive birth experience.

My husband and I booked
onto this course after doing some research and seeing the reviews for Rhonda personally.
We are so pleased that we chose to do it with her because it was very personal, a great mix of practical and theory and Rhonda explained the course really well. The way that she interacted with us as a couple was perfect, she was non biased, and delivered the course in a way that was so enjoyable, the time went so fast, we are gutted our course has come to an end.
The amount of support we have received from her has exceeded our expectations and no question was silly or too much trouble. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to feel more prepared and in control about their pregnancy and labour options. It has without a doubt given us so much more confidence especially with ways in which my husband can support me when it comes to the labour. Thank you very much Rhonda from Nicole and Jack x

My husband and I had a private course with Emma at home. The whole experience was brilliant and so much better than NCT.

At first we were apprehensive about having a 1-1 course at home but Emma was knowledgeable, relatable and a calming personality to have lead the course in our home.

I would recommend the course to anyone, we learnt a lot and finished the course having confidence in both my ability to birth our baby but also having discussed every eventuality so that we felt confident as a couple too.

The Pregnahub is also a fantastic source of knowledge for any parents pre and post birth (much better than the laminated sheets you read at NCT!)

Thank you to Emma, Emiliana and the whole Mindful Birth Group Team, your hard work will help so many parents to be! xx

Rachel has given us the best advice and information well ahead of time meaning that when we found ourselves in appointments being told incorrect information by medical professionals we were able to advocate for ourselves. We found that if you tick a certain box, so to speak, you automatically get walked down a path that isn’t necessarily in your best interests.
Rachel’s course, guidance and support well ahead of these appointments meant that we weren’t scaremongered into a course of action that wasn’t for us. We were well informed. And we were able to say “thanks very much, but no thanks”.
If I hadn’t had Rachel before this situation arose I would have been terrified and potentially committing to a course of action that wouldn’t have been right for me as I wouldn’t have known any better.
Thank you Rachel for your calm and supportive approach in our pregnancy and birth journey xxx

The care, attention and safe place Emiliana created to ensure we both felt as prepared as we could for the birth of both of our children is something we’ll forever be grateful for.
The honesty of which big pants to order to preparing our toddler and EVERYTHING in between! It was the perfectly put together course for us.
We couldn’t recommend more! Thank you so much!

I have recently attended antenatal classes with a Rhonda and I will definitely say it has helped and made me feel a lot more confident in my pregnancy and birth (when it happens)! The techniques explained and the in depth explanations around the possible outcomes and in the way my birth could go really helped me and my partner understand the process and understand what is involved and how very important it is to listen to my body and ask questions along the way! Thankyou so much Rhonda, she has been a great support!

Laura is a fantastic teacher - she is warm, personable and fully puts you at ease. We have chosen her to be our hypnobirthing teacher twice and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other families. The information is tailored and thorough - I used the techniques during labour and found them very helpful. The post birth information was also very useful and I have incorporated this daily. Thank you again Laura.

I had my first birth in 2021 and had a traumatic experience. I had used another hypnobirthing company for my first birth but feel like it didn't prepare me for what was going to happen.
When I became pregnant with my second little one I was immediately terrified and all my flashbacks started again. I was referred to the psychological services for birth on NHS but didn't feel it was helping. I started looking for other ways to help as my 2nd birth was fast approaching.
I did the one to one sessions with Claire and had the best experience. Claire made me feel safe from my first interaction with her and made it clear everything would go at my pace. We completed the course over zoom and although I had covered some of the information in another course this was delivered in a way that was easy to follow and explained how to apply all the relaxing tools and things I could control.
I gave birth to my second little one in April 2023 and can truly say the course saved my birth this time. It was recommended I was induced again and immediately started to panic. However I used all the information given to me and made informed choices, asked questions and used the relaxation techniques given in the course and can truly say I had a healing experience.
I cannot thank Claire or the Mindful Birth company enough!!
I would recommend to anyone going through a similar experience to me.

My husband and I were signposted to The Mindful Birth Group through our surrogacy agency and got matched with the wonderful Hilary. Hilary had clearly gone above and beyond to understand the surrogacy process and she went above and beyond in all contact she had with us. I felt like the information provided was tailored specifically to our needs and I know we can reach out again if needed.
Thank you Hilary!

Rachel was our birth and postnatal doula. Whilst we actually decided we didn’t need the extra support during the birth I can only attest this to the amount of prep work we did with Rachel which enabled us to feel calm during labor and the birth.

Rachel also helped us postnatal and there was no task too big for her. Her support with not only the practical but the emotional enabled us to feel confident in our choices as new parents but gave space where no question felt like a silly one. We are forever grateful!

Emiliana and Natalie were our birth doulas and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They are both so knowledgeable and so caring - the perfect combination when preparing for birth for the first time. They offered us 2 2-hour prenatal sessions and, using the Mindful Birth cards, they talked us through everything we were to expect at birth, and answered every question we had, whilst keeping us calm and feeling in control. This mirrored our experience during the birth, where Emiliana arrived quickly, and kept us feeling reassured and empowered with knowledge. My birth plan included a home birth with minimal pain relief, but this turned into a 40 hour labour(!) with a hospital transfer, epidural and preparation for a c-section. Despite the obstacles, Emiliana never faltered and she felt like the calm in a storm. She stopped the doctors when it felt overwhelming and ensured we had time to think through every decision. This also meant that my husband was able to devote all of his time in offering me emotional support, knowing that Emiliana was there. Although our birth didn’t ’go to plan’, it was a really positive experience, one that Emiliana captured with incredible photos that we will always have to look back on. Thank you both so much!

A lovely experience with Emma. My partner and I at the start of this pregnancy journey we were so nervous and at the beginning of the sessions had a completely different outlook on childbirth and labour.

Fast forward 3 sessions with Emma we were in a total different head space and now we await the arrival of our little one feeling more prepared and feel confident we have eachother throughout this labour, and that my body is made to do this and bring our beautiful little girl into this world.

Thank you Emma
