Testimonials
“My HypnoBirthing® experience with Collete was very relaxing and calming. The techniques that we spoke about to help with my labour really worked and I can honestly say made a huge difference. This was my first baby and didn't know what to expect and with Colletes help I learned to stay relaxed and focused throughout my labour. During my labour I was able to stay in the comfort of my own home until I felt ready to go to the hospital. When at the hospital the midwife informed me I was 8cm dilated and intimated that this was excellent for a 1st baby. Within 2 hours our baby daughter was born and I felt in control and relaxed at all times. I would recommend HypnoBirthing® to all mums to be and to anyone who has any concerns about labour and child birth.”

“Many thanks for your help with HypnoBirthing®. I had a 6 hour labour! (Just like we said during the course.) My birth plan changed at last minute and I never got my water birth, but all in all, it was a positive experience.”
Helen, Edinburgh
“HypnoBirthing® was new to me and Collete was great at teaching me and my husband what it was all about. This was my first baby and although I’m a normally relaxed person, I was slightly anxious about the birth. Collete was able to show me how to focus and concentrate on remaining relaxed and calm throughout the labour.
I found the sessions really relaxing and made me look at the labour in a new light. My husband was also able to learn about HypnoBirthing® and what role he could play in keeping me relaxed and calm.
After being induced at 37 weeks I was able to use the HypnoBirthing® to keep me calm during the long hours waiting for things to progress. I particularly liked the relaxation techniques and listened to these on an MP3 almost the whole time. After almost a day of induction through which I was having surges with no pain relief, the consultant decided to give me a caesarean section.
Even though I was not able to see the whole process through, I definitely felt that what Collete taught me helped a great deal. She is a great teacher and has such a calming voice that she made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the whole course. I would recommend HypnoBirthing® and Collete to anyone who is having a baby.”

“The birth of my first child was a traumatic experience to say the least, for both myself and my husband. On finding out I was pregnant again, I knew that I didn't want to history to repeat itself and decided to take more control in the birth that I wanted to experience. That's what HypnoBirthing® gives you - the confidence to think about and make the decisions that YOU want to make. It takes the fear out of birthing and allows you to think of it as a completely natural process. When I contacted Collete, she put me instantly at ease. She listened to my concerns and approached my needs on an individual basis. I felt totally relaxed and able to discuss everything to do with the birth. The course was paced to suit me and she was very willing to be flexible in order to help me get the best from the course. I would highly recommend HypnoBirthing® and Collete's approach to anyone wanting a relaxed and confident approach to the birth of their child.”
Emma, Crossgates
“I had a real fear of labour, and wanted to be in a better place mentally, when the time came. No word of a lie, by the end of the first day my fear had completely gone. I felt calm rather than fearful, and by the end of the course I was looking forward to my birthing experience.”
“I actually came to the course late on in my pregnancy, but found this was of no detriment to the effectiveness of the course. In fact I would say it only made me more determined to get over my fear.”
“I practiced the technique every day, right up until the day of the birth. I have no doubt that it played a very active part in my resulting calm and short, drug-free labour. My baby girl was born with a very calm heart rate, which had remained the same, and not faltered through the whole birthing process. I remember the midwife had commented on how calm I had been, and how it had probably made the baby remain stress free during the labour and birth.”
“I am proud to say that mine was a truly positive and wonderful experience, and I owe this to Collete and her hypnobirthing.”
Louisa, Dunfermline
“This was our first baby and we had mixed emotions regarding how we perceived the whole birthing experience. Collete and the HypnoBirthing course gave us all the necessary assurances we required, as each session is individually tailored to each and every couple.”
“The whole experience during the course was very informal, completely relaxed and most importantly, at our own pace. Collete’s voice was very calming and nothing was too much trouble.”
“During the birth, I was so relaxed and in tune with my body. The midwives kept telling me I wasn’t in “labour” as I was still smiling. As my beautiful baby son entered the world for the first time, he was as calm as me and the trainee midwife (experiencing her first live birth) could not believe how relaxed and calm the whole delivery had been.”
“All in all, whether you have any reservations or not regarding the birthing experience, HypnoBirthing will guide you through and show you how birthing should be. Many thanks to Collete and the HypnoBirthing method for guiding us through and we would highly recommend this course, whether it be your first or fifth baby.” *** to read full testimonial click here ***
