Birthing With Love Hypnobirthing and Birth Support

Yvette was an incredible support and positive guide throughout my pregnancy, it would have been very different and far more difficult without her. I approached Yvette whilst pregnant with my 2nd baby and suffering from awful morning sickness. She was an instant help with practical tips and emotional support to help me connect with my baby and cope with feeling sick and tired. I had done a hypnobirthing course with my 1st child and was looking for a refresher for round two – hypnobirthing is undoubtedly a powerful way to cope brilliantly in labour, ease pain, empower women to have the birth we envisage and to release any fear. I feel very strongly that women need support and love when they are pregnant, and as wonderful as NHS midwives are, (and they are generally wonderful) they must follow protocol, which can be a hard road for any pregnancy, labour and post-partum period. Us ladies do well to seek our own support network beyond the system and be cared for on a highly sensitive, powerful & personal level without judgement. Yvette was just that – she was a rock for me and my family. I went from being a bit depressed with feeling so sick and totally unconnected to my baby, to being filled with positivity, knowledge and confidence and glowing with love for my baby. We decided to do the full course and have Yvette come to our house to teach, I wore my PJs and got all cosy on the sofa or bounced on my yoga ball during sessions. It was so special and personal and she empowered me to make my own birthing decisions with ease and confidence. Birthing in a pandemic aged 40 after an emergency C-section had the consultants breathing down my neck; however my experience was utter joy and I was supported fully by midwives and Yvette to have my home birth. I would not have been so confident and armed with knowledge if it wasn’t for Yvette. My baby girl came easily in the birth pool at home with no complications, no tearing, just pure love. We had tea and cake on the sofa afterwards. I was so completely elated and my baby is happy, calm and a good sleeper. I cannot praise Yvette enough. I sought her out primarily for hypnobirthing techniques in labour, but I got way more than that. Her work penetrated my whole family, we were all so connected and excited about the baby, the birthing experience was incredible and my baby girl sleeps, eats and smiles - and I really needed Yvette’s support throughout pregnancy, particularly when midwives and consultants started putting pressure on, I always had someone I could trust to turn to, she had my back and discussed things calmly with knowledge and care. She was on the end of the phone during labour when we had some questions and she checked in afterwards on me and the baby. Yvette unlocked the power within me to Boss my Birth and be the loving mother I dreamed I would be despite a sickly pregnancy and the pressures and protocols of a health system.Cat, age 40, proud mama who birthed easily at home after emergency C-Section

Hypnobirthing is a revelation. And something that every pregnant couple should do. Forget everything pop culture has led you to believe about birth (“push, push, puuuuuush”) and get ready to feel calm, empowered and in control. As a man, I wasn’t sure what my role would be during the birth but Hypnobirthing has taught me that actually my role as the birth partner is pivotal, and I’m hugely proud of the positive impact I had during our daughter’s birth.Yvette has been an amazing guide and mentor for us. Without her, we would not have had the incredible birthing experience that we did.Don’t mess about. Book a course with Yvette, get involved, and it will be one of the best decisions you make not only for yourselves as a couple, but for your unborn child, who deserves a calm and loving introduction to their journey in the world.

Having this support from Yvette made the difference between me being highly anxious about the birth to going in to hospital feeling like I was floating on a cloud! She explains the process of labour so well and has such passion for preparing women for birth. It really helped my husband too so he knew how to support me.

Our hypnobirthing classes with Yvette were exactly what we hoped for and more. She was knowledgeable, informative and so positive about our birth. Throughout my labour I was continually thinking about all the things I had learnt and been practising in hypnobirthing - affirmations, breathing and staying relaxed to keep all the oxytocin flowing. We will always be so grateful to Yvette for supporting us in having the homebirth we dreamed of. My husband and I both loved every session we had with her.

My husband and I chose to do a private Hypnobirthing course with Yvette at our home, in preparation for a VBAC birth. The course was fantastic, really intuitive and the approach of simplifying and demystifying the birth experience made so much sense to us - such a revelation to me that, as a birthing mother, my most important job to do is relax and let the wisdom of the body take over! It was also a really nice course to do together as a couple, as it gives you an opportunity to really sit down and connect for a few hours each week, which can be hard to do if you have busy lives, other kids, etc. Whatever experience my birth brings (we're still waiting!), I am convinced that Hypnobirthing has been a really positive thing for me and my life, and I feel in a happy and hazy state as we await my little girl, which is so different from my first pregnancy, where there was some fear and over-thinking going on. Thanks Yvette for being so supportive and lovely, and delivering this material in such a committed and compassionate way. Yvette really is the perfect advocate for this important work, and we can't recommend her enough. Florence and Luiz

Each week my partner and I looked forward to welcoming Yvette into our home for our private classes. She has a great love, knowledge and belief in Hypnobirthing which creates a light and fun learning environment. We also deeply appreciated all the personalised extra support she offered to meet our unique needs and goals. I highly recommend Working with Yvette for a full hearted Hypnobirthing learning experience.

I can’t recommend Yvette highly enough - we did her 1:1 hypnobirthing course, baby prep & infant feeding which were all invaluable to prepare us for the arrival of our first baby. She is a fountain of knowledge and couldn’t be more generous with her time and energy..We were so supported both in and out of the classes and left feeling 100% ready and empowered to make the decisions that were best for us. Will definitely be calling on her for baby no. 2!

I thoroughly enjoyed doing a hypnobirthing course with Yvette. I would without doubt recommend this to any mum to be (whether that be your first, second, third or more!)Yvette is so knowledgeable and has such passion for hypnobirthing and its benefits. She explains the stages of labour in detail so you are fully aware of the birthing experience and how amazing it can be. She will leave you (but at the same time is always there for you) fully equipped with all the 'tools' to have the positive birthing experience everyone wants. I truly believe my birthing experience was made all the more positive thanks to Yvette and all that I learnt through doing the hypnobirthing course. I felt calm and excited (to meet our baby boy) throughout labour. This is something that I didn't even realise was possible before I'd researched hypnobirthing and found Yvette!Not to mention, it was also a great help for my partner to understand the ways in which he could help me achieve the relaxing, joyful and positive birth that we wished to have.Thank you so much Yvette.To anyone reading this, thinking about booking a course with Yvette, I guarantee you will not regret it, I definitely don't.

Yvette has been offering weekly pregnancy guided relaxation. Those have been really enjoyable. This is something that I have been looking forward every week. Yvette has a voice that comes across very well in a guided relaxation. Her choice of relaxation test is perfect to prepare for the birth and visualisation which help to relax. I would definitely recommend. Pauline from CrawleyMy husband and I also took on Yvette's hypnobirthing class in Jan/Feb 2021 to prepare for the birth of our daughter. We learned a lot about physiological birth and various techniques to relax and work through surges with calm and relaxation. those techniques really helped me to go through my labour. I spent a whole night working through my surges with hypnobirthing breathing techniques and listening to hypnobirthing affirmations. Again I would definitely recommend Yvette's course and support to prepare for the birth in the most positive way. Pauline & James from Crawley
