"Within a few minutes of meeting Helen we know she would guide us through the HypnoBirthing techniques with love, care and total professionalism. Helen gave us the confidence to treat birthing as a normal situation, this helped us to experience a natural birth which was ultimately incredibly positive. I truly believe this is because I was able to remain positive and calm throughout my pregnancy and birthing, using the techniques I was taught. Helen also taught my husband James 'light touch massage and back massage techniques which were simply amazing and instantly put me in a relaxed state. I am already looking forward to receiving nightly massages when baby number 2 is on the way. We feel very lucky to have had the benefit of Helen's guidance during a really special time in our lives. Thank you so much for caring for all 3 of us so warmly and wonderfully" Jillian, James and Henry. (2010)
"My partner and I received 1:1 hypnobirthing sessions with Helen over the course of 5 weeks within our own home. The techniques that were explained, demonstrated and practised with us both included breathing and relaxation methods, visualisation and positive conditioning.
Having strategies in place enabled us to feel confident enough to opt for a home birth. The labour and birth was a positive experience resulting in the safe arrival of our daughter. I felt calm and in control using the hypnobirthing techniques and a tens machine. My partner had a definite role and was able to actively support me. This was a very different experience from my having my first daughter. This had taken place in hospital and had in retrospect been very medicalised and difficult, leaving a negative impression.
Helen was readily available to us during the latter part of pregnancy and after the labour for support and advice, always providing a positive influence. Her background as a midwife and her knowledge of alternative therapies allowed her to provide a more informed and comprehensive service." Sarah & Mark Moore-Whitfield
"I undertook the hypnobirthing programme with my second baby, following an emergency C section with my first and I found the course along with Helen's support throughout, extremely beneficial. The understanding of how the body reacts to pregnancy and labour, along with the breathing techniques helped me deliver my second baby naturally and keep calm throughout. I only wish I had met Helen with my first baby! Massive thanks to the time Helen took and helping me achieve the natural birth I wanted."

I found HypnoBirthing fantastic during my second pregnancy. All of the deep relaxation
techniques that Helen showed me were really helpful. During my pregnancy I
felt relaxed, calm and I really enjoyed the sessions. I was shown excellent breathing
techniques which I used throughout my labour, which really helped and enabled me to
go through my labour with no pain relief. The deep relaxation and visualisation helped
me stay focused and in control of my labour during the later stages. I would strongly
recommend HypnoBirthing and in particular Helen, who I would like to thank for this
wonderful experience. Cheryl Yaffe
Hi Helen – Issac Hugh came early - he is gorgeous. Thanks for all your help as
the deep breathing etc, etc was a lifesaver. Carol, Barry and Issac
I suffered from post natal depression after the birth of my son in 2007, so when I noticed the same dark cloud coming over me during my pregnancy in 2008 my Midwife referred me to
Helen for massage therapy.
At first I was sceptical and didn't believe it could work but after I had met Helen and she explained
about all the different oils and their properties I opened my mind a little.
After the first few weeks my anxiety and low moods were almost completely gone, I felt happier
and more relaxed and it was something I really looked forward to each week-my special
treat!
When Isobel was born in 2009, Helen even showed me how to give her a baby massage and
I still do it to this day, Isobel loves it and it is a wonderful way to bond with your little one.
And I saw no signs of post natal depression.
I recommend everyone to use Helen's services. She is friendly, fun and as she is a trained
midwife she really understands. Emma Maroney. |

Following the birth of Charlie I enjoyed regular aromatherapy massage and reflexology from Helen. I really looked forward to Helen’s sessions and found the positive effects of the treatments
helped me enormously and therefore it had a positive effect on Charlie.
The fact that
Helen came to my home made it so much easier for me when Charlie was a baby. I would
definitely recommend Helen if you want to invest in some perfect ‘time out’ , ease your aches
and pains and talk to someone who understands.
Zoe and Charlie.
Having experienced Helen’s complementary therapy service and the positive
benefits it gave me before and after having Connor, when I became
pregnant with Codie I knew that it would help me through my pregnancy
and after his birth. Both the boys are really laid back and I would highly
recommend Helens service to any pregnant mum.

Hi Helen – Just wanted to say a massive Thank You for the baby massage session. The techniques you
showed us have helped dramatically with Adam’s colic – he is a different baby and we are a different family.
He is so much more chilled and is sleeping better.
The massage guide was excellent, providing us with all the important information we needed and the routine
was very easy to follow – I would highly recommend it.
We can’t thank you enough for your help and advice. Janet, Phil and Adam
Helen’s baby massage sessions were invaluable. I found the massage not only helped with Millie’s dry skin
but it became a very important part of our lives – special time together. It was also a great way of including her
older brother Jack and I feel has helped create a special bond between us all. It should be part of every baby’s
routine.
Kath, Jack and Millie.
