Positive Birth Leeds

I had a 121 session with Charlotte ahead of my third planned c section. I had so much worry and anxiety ahead of the c section and really needed to speak to someone about my precious birth experiences and how this birth could be different. I could not recommend Charlottes course enough. I had two sessions where I learnt so much about the c section itself (despite having 2 previously!), what I could control during the birth, the power of positive thinking and it gave me all the tools I needed to feel relaxed about the birth. I had such a positive experience during my c section and so much of this is from the course with Charlotte. It was so well thought out, thorough and informative! I would highly recommend reaching out to see how Charlotte could help!

My husband and I sought out a 1:1 hypnobirthing course following a difficult birth with my first child. I felt traumatised by the experience and fearful of going through it again. I could not be happier that we found Charlotte to help.After intending to press for an induction / planned c-section following a few additional issues this time round, this course allowed me to explore these feelings and helped me realise that I really do want to try for a natural birth - if I can. I can honestly say I am now looking ahead positively, knowing I am prepared and have the necessary tools to stay calm whatever way my baby arrives.Charlotte is incredibly knowledgeable and kind, willing to listen and flexible to fit in with us in terms of when we could do the sessions! The sessions flow really well with each one consolidating what we had already learned.I found doing the course with my husband very helpful and we both learned so much about his role in the birth.The goodie bag and lovely environment created by Charlotte were wonderful extras, thank you.I would have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte to anyone considering hypnobirthing!

SUCH a positive experience with Charlotte today with her refresher course. Highly recommended to have a chat with Charlotte; Not only is she one of the loveliest people you could hope to meet, but so knowledgeable! She managed to rekindle my confidence in my abilities, and to accept birth as the adventure it is, mindful of the tools i have within myself to relax, control and focus my power, and make decisions that are right for me and my family. I did a refresher course with my husband as we had done an online course previously but I really wanted to have a person to guide us through some key points, and im so glad I found Positive Birth Leeds. Charlotte was so great, she established what we wanted to get out of the session, and managed to cover such a vast amount of material at a really comfortable pace, while being really thoughtful about what we needed, and ensuring we had all our questions answered. Shes engaging, super informed and a wonderful champion for you to be prepared and informed about your birth experience. She also gave me the best materials to refer to going forward and a beautiful birth gift bag which i will DEFINITELY be getting stuck into. So so grateful to Charlotte at Positive Birth Leeds for her time. I feel like i now have extra tools to help me relax and make positive decisions throughout my labour and birth journey and beyond, and my birth partner also understands a lot more about how they can help me which is essential: my birth guardian! Thank you!!!

Charlotte is ace! She helped me feel so informed and prepared for the rest of my pregnancy and birth. Included in the course were so many helpful resources, as well as an excellent goodie bag! The sessions were relaxed, varied and interactive and we learnt so much. I hadn't known much about Hypnobirthing before we started but it all made sense with Charlotte's guidance. The course covered all aspects of labour and potential situations that can arise and used a lot of evidence which I found really helpful. It doesn't push one type of birth but gives you tools to help support you in making the right choices for you and your baby.

A review from a partner’s perspective.My wife and I had hypnobirthing sessions with Charlotte in 2022.Charlotte is fantastic and quickly puts you at ease in the sessions. Her knowledge and passion is obvious, and I left each session a great deal wiser and happier about the whole process (and most importantly, so did my wife).If you have slight doubts or nervousness about giving hypnobirthing a go, I encourage you to give it a try. You will be in no better hands than Charlotte, and I am certain the whole birthing experience was made significantly better, more relaxing (as much as that is possible of course!) and enjoyable as a direct result from Charlotte’s sessions.A very sincere and huge THANK YOU, Charlotte.

Charlotte's guidance throughout our Hypno birthing sessions was nothing short of exceptional. Our experience with her classes was beyond delightful. Her expertise and holistic approach to not only the birthing process but the entire journey of pregnancy are truly remarkable. This philosophy seamlessly extends to life in its entirety.Prior to joining these sessions fear clouded my perspective, especially concerning labor. However, Charlotte's insightful teachings have transformed outlook.Engaging with Charlotte and her business was an absolute pleasure - her welcoming demeanor invited us into her home, creating an environment where we felt truly at ease. This investment was undeniably worthwhile, and without hesitation, we highly recommend Charlotte and her course xx

We did a refresher course with Charlotte, after doing a hospital group hypnobirthing class with my first child in 2016. Charlotte really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted to gain from our sessions, and put together a plan that was completely unique for us. Our sessions took place at her home, it was a really welcoming and cosy space that made us feel so at ease and relaxed.In terms of the course content, Charlotte obviously cares so much about birth education, and that reflects so much in her teaching. She explains things clearly and with context, in a way that makes it so easy to engage. I learned so many things that weren’t covered in our old hospital course! She’s also been really supportive in the latter stages of my pregnancy, and helped me feel confident enough to advocate for myself in prepping for a home birth. In short, well worth it, 11/10 would recommend!

Charlotte is a professional, kind and warm person who made us feel at ease. Her practice is neither information overload nor touchy-feely nonsense but is instead a balanced mix of science and statistics where necessary sprinkled over a base of skills and information on empowerment, self-care and preparing us for the arrival of our baby.While we both arrived feeing nervous and unsure of what to expect, we have both completed our course feeling knowledgable and confident to deal with everything from unexpected changes to conversations with our medical team. It has been invaluable.

I had a traumatic home birth with my first child. Therefore I wanted either a planned c-section or an epidural with my second. Thankfully I booked a hypnobirthing course with Charlotte and she taught me to believe in myself and that I can do it again, however this time calm and relaxed (with the help of her breathing technique) and not overwhelmed full of adrenaline. I can say I had the most wonderful home water birth where I totally felt in control. I recovered in no time and the midwife was surprised that I was almost back to normal the very next day. I very much recommend her course.

Great session with Charlotte and very helpful in reminding the Dad's to be of how important their role is in keeping mum to be as happy, calm and relaxed as possible.Now armed with new massage techniques, ideas to create a calm environment, and confident for the birth when it comes.
