We did a hypnobirthing refresher course with Alice, having done a longer course with a different practitioner 7 years ago before the birth of my first child. I found the course so informative, and not only a refresh of some things I’d learned previously, but also additional information and thoughts which were really helpful.
Alice was so knowledgeable and really able to balance moving through the information with side conversations about mine and my birth partners’ previous experiences/real world context. What was particularly nice is that both of my birth partners came to the session and so we were really able to think about working as a team during the birth, and Alice was great at encouraging them to understand and think about all the things they will be able to take responsibility for- allowing me to focus on practicing the hypnobirthing techniques and mindset.
Overall, I left the session feeling more empowered, with a tool kit of meditations etc. and thoughts to practise in the weeks running up to the birth- confident in the fact that as a team we will be well prepared to advocate for our wishes.
