The Birth Edit

Kirstie was absolutely wonderful in preparing us for the birth of our first child. Even though I always knew I would have to have a planned C Section, I still wanted to be as prepared as possible, be educated on the process, and learn about Hypno birthing coping techniques. Kirstie tailored some bespoke sessions for us, her knowledge is outstanding and her relaxed yet incredibly informative approach, equipped us so well for the birth. We couldn't have gone through the process without her and will forever be so grateful. Highly recommended!!

I'm pregnant with my first baby, and, although I know a fair bit about early years and beyond, pregnancy and labour is not something I claim to have any knowledge about. So when I spoke with Kirstie about the potential of hypnobirthing, I was really excited. If you're not sure of anything, I thoroughly recommend this course. Kirstie is knowledgeable, patient, kind and thoughtful. She always makes sure you're okay with a concept, and won't move forward until you've voiced any worries, questions or just something you need to be reclarified. I have left the course feeling calm, and with a fountain of knowledge. I know my choices and as both my husband and I are going into the latter stages of pregnancy (and eventually labour) empowered. My husband, ever the cynic, was not fully on board at the beginning, but trusted my judgement. He left the course happy and glad he had participated. It is definitely worth your time! Thank you again Kirstie for investing your time and knowledge into our pregnancy journey.

Kirstie is THE most caring and passionate person in the world! She coached my wife and I through a whole course and then was up all night with us as I delivered our second beautiful baby girl.I’d had a bit of a traumatic experience with my first and Kirstie definitely had her work cut out for her to try and undo all those negative feelings. My wife and I were sceptical about how she could actually help but we are both confident to say that she did completely!I delivered my baby at home, in a pool, with whale music, calm lighting and everything completely under our own control. From having my first daughter, which was highly medicalised, I went to affirmations, embracing my body and working with it to bring my baby to us. There is absolutely no way I would have been able to achieve this without Kirstie’s help and for that, words don’t do this wonderful woman justice.Things took a little bit of an adventure in the end but Kirstie was there throughout the whole thing and always our advocate.I cannot express how much gratitude and wonder this lovely lady deserves.Thank you so much The Birth Edit!

Kirsty shared both her extensive knowledge and personal experiences in a calming and comforting manner. She gave my daughter the confidence to take charge of her first birthing experience, and helped us birthing partners to know how to support her. Kirsty’s on going backup and support were a huge comfort to Molly throughout.

The birth edit helped me to have the most magical first birth possible! My waters broke naturally at 36 weeks, I was then of course informed that I wouldn’t be able to have the home birth that I had planned & I needed to come into hospital. I politely declined and I stayed at home for the next 7 hours, relaxing in the sunshine, listening to meditations & talking to Kirstie on the phone. When my body told me it was ‘go time’ I was driven round to the hospital, again politely declined any checks/ medical intervention & I called them once I knew baby was coming. I delivered my baby naturally, with no pain relief in 20 minutes! I’m now due my second baby & I just know my birth is going to be just as fast & magical as the first. I can’t thank Kirstie enough for her knowledge & support on my rights from the first call we had together right up to guiding me through the early stages of labour! Xxxx

Our one-to-one hypnobirthing sessions with Kirstie were utterly amazing - she is so knowledgeable, informative and approachable with any questions or worries we had. We are really looking forward to our birthing experience - whatever that may hold. Kirstie has been reassuring and empowering. She was also very flexible and able to fit around our schedule. My partner was initially sceptical about hypnobirthing, but now recommends to other Dad’s-to-be. We couldn’t recommend Kirstie and her hypnobirthing course enough! Thank you Kirstie.

I can’t recommend Kirstie highly enough, she put us at ease straight away in our sessions with her, explained everything so well and answered all our questions. I’ve had my eyes opened to gentle cesarean sections and I am so glad to be practicing hypnobirthing with Kirstie’s support this time. I feel so lucky to be going into this birth feeling confident that it is going to be an empowering experience and its so nice to have someone so knowledgeable to learn from, talk to and be supported by. Thank you x
