Katharine,
Many many thanks for this amazing experience. I’m so glad I waited for your course, rather than another. I can’t begin to tell you how valuable, inspirational and empowering the whole experience has been with such passionate and gifted trainers
All the teachers and fellow trainees, whose input and experience have been immensely valuable and enlightening.

I gave birth in March using the techniques you taught me. The whole experience was utterly amazing. I hired a private midwife and had my baby at home. I managed the labour on my own without giving a thought to pain relief, in silence, and for the most part pretty motionless. My midwife said she had never witnessed Hypnobirthing working so successfully.
I sat for 2 hours on a foot stool and dilated to 10cms in an almost euphoric state. I had to keep telling my husband and my midwife I was contracting as apparently I was just breathing and smiling with my eyes closed all the time. It felt as if I had just unlocked a big secret and it really was so easy to just let things flow. After 6 or 7 hours my baby was born under water in a birthing pool in my lounge.
The thing about HypnoBirthing is that it works

Hi All,
Here’s a great hypnobirthing story from TIME magazine, tells you all about Marie Mongan and how the movement started, as well as some of the benefits. We’re really getting everywhere aren’t we!
Birth Bliss – TIME: “The phone rang at 7:30 a.m. and I stumbled out of bed, bleary-eyed and eight months pregnant, to find a message from Dan Gilman: his wife Laura Beth was in labor. I had never met the Gilmans, but they had generously invited me to witness the birth of their third child. They were using a pain-control technique I was learning myself: hypnobirthing.”

This is just to say that I’m away for a ski – the first time in years and I’m so looking forward to it. I’ll be back on the 14th of January ready for the next HypnoBirthing Courses, which start:
Please keep your questions and comments coming, I may be able to check emails while I’m away, and if not I’ll answer promptly on my return.
