Finding Calm-Hypnobirthing And Antenatal Bournemouth

Maria went above and beyond to make our experience of learning about hypnobirthing and preparing for the birth of our baby girl easy to understand and much less daunting.As this is our first baba we had a lot of questions, even though I had already looked into hypnobirthing she tailor made our session to cover what we didn't know and we ended the session feeling much more confident and supported.My partner could also get an idea of the specific role that he could play as oppose to just being there to watch and cheer me on.She gives fantastic practical advice and explains things very clearly. She clearly loves what she does and that passion puts you at ease for the very exciting and poignant life changing event that you are about to go through. I can't recommend Maria enough!The course materials that she shares as well and the style they come in are also clear, refreshing and useful. I especially appreciated the suggested reading list that offers guidance after birth and into parenthood.

I totally feel prepared in confidence, strength and knowledge to birth my baby since having the Hypnobirthing course with Maria at Finding Calm. I was blown away with all the information!The course was set out to understand everything easily and with such fun.Still can’t believe how fascinating it all was, the chemicals your body creates at the right times (if allowed), how to give yourself confidence with affirmations, learning to trust and regulate your body with breathing techniques and re-writing all the myths are just a few steps you will learn too on the course.Thank you from the bottom of my heart this was awesome!!Chloe xx

Both me and my partner were so apprehensive and nervous about labour and the up coming birth of our first child. After completing a free taster session online, we decided to complete the 2 day intensive course. There was no problems booking this in with Maria and she even accommodated a change of date when my partner couldn't get time off to attend the course with me.We felt so at easy with Maria teaching me the hypnobirthing techniques. The course was well timed with breaks to accommodate for lunch and drinks. After the course not only were our minds at ease but we now felt educated, informed and confident. The course incorporated various techniques for managing the stages of labour, information on the changes that can occur and how to deal with them effectively, specifically techniques from hypnobirthing practice and other extras not included as standard for a course of this type.We definatly felt it was great value for money as we are now ready to create a competent birth plan, prepare our mindset for the labout and changes that could occur and know our rights regarding the birthing process.Having my partner attend the course with me was definatly beneficial as i now feel my partner has the confidence to portray my choices when it comes to the ideal or even not so ideal delivery.I would most definatly recommend Maria as a hypnobirthing teacher. She is a lighthearted and caring person, who incorporated our feelings and listen to our concerns. We were educated in a timely manner with options of a follow-up session closer to the expected date of delivery to remind me of the techniques taught and to facilitate any changes that my have occurred throughout the run up to the delivery of our baby.

We’ll be the first to admit that the word ‘Hypnobirthing’ didn’t sell the course for us. As first time parents we were very naive on what to expect with childbirth. Maria helped us enormously in understanding every aspect of pregnancy, labour and post-natal. There is A LOT we didn’t consider, or even know to consider, and the course completely changed our mindset on the events to come. We always say knowledge is power and this course truly represents that.Maria was fantastic with us throughout, going above and beyond answering all our questions. Nothing was ever too much for Maria and she always made us feel comfortable. Maria provided us with the techniques and understanding to now be excited for the experience of welcoming our little girl into the world. We’re so grateful for the experience and would recommend Maria’s hypnobirthing to anyone.

We learnt so much from Maria during our Hypnobirthing and Antenatal course, her approach to teaching made us relax and feel comfortable to ask all sorts of questions. The course is full of evidence based information about the body, pregnancy, birth and self soothing skills which were made into easily digestable pieces. As we are first time parents, we embarked on the course feeling pretty clueless and anxious about the whole birthing experience, but afterour sessions, we now feel informed, confident, calm and excited about our birth journey. Could not reccommend this course enough!
