Birth Evolution Hypnobirthing and Doula Support

I would fully recommend Meg’s hypnobirthing course. Me and my partner both found it incredibly helpful in getting us ready for the various eventualities of what birth may look like for us. The course was really well structured and engaging, lots of opportunities for asking questions and the course materials gave us things to take away and reflect on. Meg is so supportive, and there were no judgements throughout on any type of birth preferences so it felt very open to ask questions in a non judgmental environment.I also attended Meg’s virtual relaxation sessions which gave the opportunity to talk about any issues we were facing in pregnancy, ask any questions and generally feel supported by the group. They were followed by a guided meditation which always did the trick for me, giving me time out to relax and setting me up for a good nights sleep!

Booking on to Meg’s hypnobirthing course is without a doubt the best thing we have done on our pregnancy journey. Meg is unbelievably knowledgeable and supportive. My husband and I walked away from every session feeling empowered and excited for the birth of our baby. Meg makes you feel no question is too silly to ask - and believe me, my husband asked some corkers! We will always be grateful to Meg for turning our fear into excitement and I would recommend her to every future parents-to-be.

Meg is passionate, knowledgeable, compassionate, straight talking, supportive, thoughtful and just brilliant. Investing in your birth is about so much more than the event itself, it has lasting consequences, and having people like Meg involved in my preparation for birth was absolutely, totally invaluable to my birth experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.I did a hypnobirthing course and regular weekend relaxation sessions with Meg to prepare for birth. Hypnobirthing is an incredibly powerful educational programme that helps you understand how birth works and how you can work with your mind and body to make it a genuinely positive experience. It works for every type of birth and it's something everyone can benefit from, and Meg is a brilliant teacher. The sessions left me with so much confidence, and with her wealth of knowledge and positive reassurance Meg always made me feel even more empowered and prepared every time I spoke to her.

My husband and I had a fantastic experience with Meg at Birth Evolution. We had special circumstances relating to birth/pregnancy and Meg accommodated us at home with private sessions. The course offered us practical knowledge on the birthing process and also eased our anxieties moving forward. We have useful tools to continue to work towards relaxation and positive affirmation ahead of birth and feel in a great place. She has also been in touch to offer ongoing support until the arrival of our baby in just a few weeks. We couldn’t recommend the experience enough for soon to be parents!

My husband and I did a hypnobirthing course with Meg from A Gentle Journey last year and I honestly can not recommend her enough. My husband was a bit skeptical of hypnobirthing but we both came away from the course feeling knowledgable, empowered and ready for the birth of our baby. For us, this course was a hundred times better than the NHS antenatal classes and the NCT course which we also attended. Meg showed us that no hypnobirth is the same, and that any type of birth can be a hypnobirth and therefore a hugely positive experience. She was a clear, thorough and non-judgmental teacher who taught us about the biology of birth as well as every type of birth available to us. She then taught us relaxation techniques which don’t just apply to birth, but help massively throughout pregnancy and life as a whole. Most importantly for my husband and I, the course taught him things that he can do throughout the birth process to help me and to give him a role. This was so important to my husband and allowed him to have a positive experience too.Thank you so much Meg, we will certainly be doing a refresher course when it’s time for number 2!

The first thing anyone should invest in when having a baby..The best thing you will spend your time & money on..I cannot recommend Meg, her knowledge and support enough.. I absolutely believe I wouldn’t of had such positive births with both my children without Megs hypnobirthing course. My husband also has nothing but positive things to say as it actually gave him lots of information and helped him be able to be an active part in both our babies births.. really informative for anyone involved in pregnancy & birth not just the mother. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot recommend Birth Evolution enough. Meg is unbelievably knowledgeable, personable and supportive. To have someone in your corner at such a potentially vulnerable time is priceless. She offers a wide range of services and she will always direct you to further resources if needed to ensure that you are fully informed so that you can be confident in making the right decisions for your family.

Initially when my partner first mentioned going on Meg’s course I was a bit skeptical (as most guys probably are). I thought why not what’s the harm if it’s what my partner wanted. After the 1st session I quickly became immersed in Meg’s way of teaching. The information, the vibe, the genuine passion was felt instantly. Week by week I gained more excited for each session, knowing the confidence it was bringing me, especially as a young 1st time parent (24). Think there’s more of a thing around guys “winging” the wholeBirthing process and becoming a dad, which does and can work, but learning how vital of a role you can play to creating an incredible birth was empowering. Also learning about how powerful and magical woman's bodies are was mind blowing. After the course I felt ready to go into any situation equipped with knowledge and a toolkit of practical tips to enhance the birthing experience.A few weeks passed and the opportunity for Meg to be our personal doula arose. We never initially planned this but considering how close me & my partner had got with Meg and how incredible her course was we decided we would ask her.This is from my personal experience (a guy).Meg being there was reassuring for me, she allowed the space of our home birth to be protected, she knew exactly what to say and do and penetrated the room with her whole energy, she allowed me to confidently make decisions and never pushed her own opinions. She collaborated so professionally with the midwives, to create such a safe space.From feeding me (bringing McDonald’s lol) to reminding me to take naps during contractions (was a long labour), guiding me with birth pool set up, supporting me emotionally, tidying house after birth, continued support post birth, visiting us post birth, bringing food, Meg was just incredible.I really could not imagine our birth without Meg. Of course you don’t need a course or a doula to have a pleasant birth, and you can learn things online, just like you can have a wedding at a registry office instead of a church, but why wouldn’t you want to immerse yourself in this sometimes once in a lifetime experience, and make it as worry free, magical and memorable as it can be. I will be eternally grateful for what Meg has done for me and my partner the last 9 months, she has a true passion and genuine vibe and love for what she does and it’s glaringly obvious, couldn’t recommend her enough. Wow.
