“My husband and I completed the hypnobirthing course with Lizzie in the comfort of our own home. Lizzie arrived promptly to each session and explained things thoroughly. She made us feel at ease from the start. We’ve gained knowledge and techniques that will definitely help us with the imminent birth of our baby. We feel more relaxed about the entire process after having completed the course.
Lizzie is extremely personable, knowledgeable and a calming presence. We can’t recommend Lizzie enough!
Thanks again Nicole and Lewis”
“I just wanted to recommend Hypnobirthing with Lizzie to anyone who is expecting a baby. Lizzie was brilliant. She came to our house at a time that was convenient for me and my husband, taught us some brilliant breathing and relaxation techniques which we used in labour, gave us a walk through of the birth process and provided us with some lovely relaxing audios to listen to, to keep us calm and relaxed through pregnancy. We both felt as prepared as we could for the birth of our daughter. She’s a lovely, funny and bubbly person who is really knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Thank you Lizzie”

“As first time parents, myseld and my partner Alex decided to sign up for a Hypnobirthing class with Lizzie after our community midwife recommended it as a worthwhile course to conduct in before our new arrival. We had initially heard that Hypnobirthing was beneficial, however we weren't really sure what it was truly about beforehand. Therefore we figured that the only way to find out was to book it and see if it would prove to be the useful tool everyone says it is.
We knew from after our first 121 session with Lizzie that we had made the right decision. Lizzie comes to your house to conduct the course, so it already felt a lot more personal and catered for us compared to other courses we had signed up for. She is extremely accommodating and flexible when booking in the classes and works around your availability. And she has an extremely calming but informative approach on her lessons. Additionally, she makes you feel like a priority throughout the course from start to finish, and she has also offered her assistance to us at any time during/post labour, so we really feel like she's there for us whenever we need her.
Throughout the four evenings we spent with her on our course, the knowledge we have gained is unbelievable. We feel fully prepared for labour and what we want to aim to achieve from our birth. We have learnt to completely reframe our way of thinking from feeling initially pure terror of labour, to the total opposite and feeling in control and more positive about what to expect. However the other benefits from Hypnobirthing we have learnt is how to handle the birth if it doesn't necessarily go how we have planned, and how to advocate for ourselves if put in that situation.
I can't recommend this course enough, and luckily Lizzie lives round the corner from me so I look forward to hopefully spending time with her on mat leave once my little one finally arrives!
Thanks again for everything Lizzie!!!

“We loved hypnobirthing with Lizzie! We were looking for private sessions and Lizzie even came to our home. She was very flexible with dates and the evening slot worked well for us as we both work full time.
Lizzie is super down to earth, a young mum herself and was very relatable. This was really important for us as first timers who weren’t exactly sure what to expect from hypnobirthing. We were aware it could have felt like a daunting concept, but Lizzie didn’t make it feel like this at all.
The content was excellent. The sessions were really detailed and Lizzie didn’t run to a time- if a session took longer than we thought she was happy to stay.
We still have 10 weeks to go until we give birth and Lizzie has reassured us that she will be there for us as much as we need her until then. This is a lovely gesture and really reassuring.
We would absolutely recommend Lizzie. The course was great value for personalised private sessions and we thoroughly enjoyed them.
Thank you, Lizzie!”
“Can’t recommend Hypnobirthing with Lizzie enough. Everyone will take something from the program which is expertly delivered by Lizzie with humility and humour, mixed with her own personal experiences. The sessions are packed with information but at no point do you feel overwhelmed and the recaps and interaction that Lizzie delivers really helps to reinforce all of the learning. As a first time mum and dad to be, we thought we knew the basics from books or Google searches but this course it really opened our eyes to the whole birthing process. Lots of the techniques can be used throughout pregnancy and birth but most importantly it really gave us an understanding of how to make decisions relating to our unborn. There can be lots of pressure from midwives, Dr’s, other parents as to what is right and what is wrong but the knowledge she has given us surpassed our expectations and we are looking forward to being able to use what we learned to help us all before, during and after. Thank you again Lizzie!”
“Myself and my husband signed up to a 1:1 hypnobirthing course with Lizzie when I was about 30 weeks pregnant with our first baby. We knew very little about birth and were just looking for a bit of understanding about the process, to be able to ask questions to someone and to learn some techniques to use during labour. With Lizzie’s sessions, we got so much more than what we thought we signed up for!
Lizzie guided us through four sessions where she told us all about the birth process and the decisions you may have to make. She gave us loads of breathing and relaxation techniques and encouraged us to practice them so they are more likely to work for us during labour. Alongside all the knowledge she gave us, she gave us some hypnosis recordings and even a little goody bag with birth essentials which was lovely.
Lizzie was always on time to our sessions and was flexible to find times that worked for us. She would stay as long as required to deliver the session and was very attentive to us and what we would like learn more about.
I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Lizzie to anyone who is feeling anxious about birth. I was feeling very nervous about the whole thing but after our sessions I’m genuinely looking forward to it and feeling confident! It’s made my husband feel a lot more comfortable with the process too and he now knows what he can do to support me in labour and not feel at a loose end.
Thanks so much!”
“I was very nervous of having a c section. I didn’t want my pregnancy to be affected by negative thoughts and fears of the delivery, so I sought out hypo birthing that focused on c sections/belly birth.
After the session with Lizzie I was able to use breathing exercises and positive affirmations to calm myself in the months leading up to the big day.
When my waters broke early and my belly birth was suddenly a week earlier than planned, everything I learnt allowed me to manage my anxiety and get my mind to a place to stop me from panicking, even when the contractions got very intense.
I would recommend hypo birthing with Lizzie to anyone, even if you know you’ll be having a c section, the techniques Lizzie teaches will help- especially if the unexpected happens. Lizzie is also very knowledgeable and supportive, offering ongoing guidance throughout pregnancy.”
“My partner and I booked our hypnobirthing course with Lizzie when I was around 25 weeks pregnant. I wasn’t entirely sure what hypnobirthing was but it had been recommended to me as someone who struggles with anxiety anyway, alongside all the new anxiety that comes with pregnancy. Lizzie guided us through 4 sessions which took place at our home - this in itself was hugely helpful and convenient. Lizzie taught us about the birthing process and my partner was surprised at how much he benefitted from this. He is so keen to be a supportive birthing partner and implement what Lizzie has taught us. I am no longer scared of labour and I am excited to give birth - which is down to Lizzie. We can’t thank you enough and can’t wait to share our birth story with you.”
