Bluebird Birth Company

I had been recommended by a friend, but I didn't quite no what to expect and it was so much more than I'd hoped! Not only did it give the practical advice I wanted for during labour for example breathing exercises, relaxation and visualisation techniques it was also very informative and scientific. Jess explained the scientific evidence that supports why hyponobirthing works and this helped me to understand what my body is preparing for and how I can best help it. Jess was also brilliant at including my husband and giving suggestions on how he can best support me both physically and mentally during the stages of labour. An added bonus that I was not expecting from this course is how it covered my rights and a wide range of choices available to me from an impartial point of view. This has helped me to put together my birth preferences prior to discussing with my midwife, so that I am confident I have made the decisions that are right for me. Jess was very knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions and, more importantly to me as a first time mum, gave me a bank of questions to feel confident to ask my own midwife, which I wouldn't have thought to have asked previously. Thanks to Jess I now feel confident and in control. If you are thinking about hypnobirthing, then book on! It will be the best thing you do to prepare you for labour.

Jess’ course was amazing. It left myself and my husband feeling so much more informed and equipped with tools to help feel in control. The way Jess explained things was so great and she couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our journey. We didn’t end up having our preferred labour but Jess’ course enabled us to remain in control and see that we could still use techniques and things we learnt to make it as positive an experience as possible. Highly recommend!

Having completed Jess's course ahead of the birth of our son (our first baby) a few weeks ago, I cannot recommend her course highly enough.Having sought out hypnobirthing due to an intense fear of childbirth, through Jess's course and the resources she provided for us to use to practice the techniques ahead of the birth, I was able to not only look forward to the birth, but also make it through the birth with just a TENS machine and Jess's affirmation MP3 on a loop!The sessions we had with Jess were well structured, but allowed for great conversations around the topics, making the sessions interactive and engaging. She sought to understand our perception of childbirth first, and worked to address any misconceptions we had, and alter how we thought about childbirth.Overall, I can't thank Jess enough for everything she taught us- I am confident that the birthing experience we had was so positive as a direct result of attending Jess's course.

Had 4 lessons with Jess, covering various different elements of pregnancy and labour and how best to approach things to keep things as natural and comfortable as possible.My pregnant wife finds the various reading very helpful to relax, and the tools/techniques will no doubt all form part of the 'portable Oxytocin kit' for the main event.Many thanks to Jess for making the whole thing so accessible, informative and enjoyable.

After a mildly traumatic birth experience with our first born, Jess’s hypnobirthing course COMPLETELY changed my whole outlook (and therefore actual experience) of childbirth. The course refreshed our memory on some of the essentials for labour, but also helped us reflect on our previous experience and make some decisions on what we would do differently this time around. We left the course feeling excited about the birth and with a much deeper understanding of our options throughout. Our second little man arrived last week and I can genuinely say that we had the most positive, healing and incredible water birth experience that I will never forget. I feel so proud of what we achieved and that wouldn’t have happened without the help of Jess at Bluebird, the techniques she taught us and knowledge she provided. We would whole-heartedly recommend Jess and her services, and not just for first-time parents. Every expectant parent needs to do this course!

I'm so glad we decided to go ahead with this course. I had done a small amount of research into hypnobirthing, but didn't really fully understand it. Even after booking didn't really know what to expect.My husband was very sceptical as it all felt very hippy and out of his comfort zone. Then when covid19 started and our course changed to online zoom sessions both of us became sceptical on how this would work effectively.However, there was no need for any of these reservations. We both cannot rate Jess enough. The delivery of the course was fantastic. Jess is brilliant at communicating all the information. There is a lot more science involved with hypnobirthing as well as the relaxation practice. Understanding the science has really helped change my mindset, as I feel I understand how I can best work with my body to help with the delivery. At no point does Jess underestimate childbirth. All avenues are discussed from natural to inductions and c-sections. This course helps prepare you knowing all of your options, what to expect and what you can do in your practice to help prepare you in the best possible way.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 online sessions with Jess. She is hugely knowledgeable and informative and we finished our course feeling much better prepared for labour and birth.Her care package at the end of the course is a really lovely touch.

I am reviewing as someone who was sceptical at the outset of taking a Hypno birthing class and only doing it as my wife thought it a good idea.Jess was fantastic, the course provided a well rounded overview of the birthing journey and even surprised us with new information which we hadn't realised before. My wife absolutely loved the course but she'll be adding a review too so I'll only go through my observations.As we progressed through the 3 sessions my wife went from terrified of the idea of giving birth to really looking forward to it. The value of the course could be seen on the first 3 words game we did at the start of the course which included terrified, painful and hospital - in the last session these became magical, baby boy and excited.Jess didn't push an agenda which I really appreciated. I am surprised how much we enjoyed the course!I would really recommend Jess to anyone going through pregnancy and my personal view is the cost of the private sessions was really worth it.

Me and my partner have just finished our hypnobirthing course with Jess and we cannot recommend it enough!This is our first baby and I was extremely nervous and fearful about labour. Jess has managed to completely change our mindset and we are now looking forward to a positive birth. Highly professional, yet super friendly and made us feel really comfortable. Thank you so much Jess xx

It has been a great hypnobirhing course! Jess has been really professional and my husband and I really enjoyed the course. We would recommend to anyone who wants know more and learn more about gentle birthing.
