- [Andy - A dad's perspective](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/andy-a-dads-perspective/) - Just wanted to add my sincere thanks as well. I think the benefits of the course are 2 fold - first equipping us as a couple with the knowledge of what was happening at each stage, and the breathing techniques, which are vital. This created a real sense of comfort for me and Claire that
- [Claire & Andy](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/claire-andy/) - We just wanted to let you know that baby Oscar arrived at 6:53 on 27th December weighing 7lb 14 through a natural water birth with no pain relief as we wanted. The Hypnobirthing techniques we learned definitely helped with this and with Andy's support I was able to remain calm and focused as things progressed.
- [Maggie & Ed](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/maggie-ed/) - I am so glad we found Sacha and attended her hypnobirthing course prior to the birth of our son. I had been very scared of labour and not sure that anything would be able to help me overcome these anxieties. From the start Sacha was amazing, setting realistic expectations and explaining the principles of hypnobirthing
- [Tanya & Dave](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/tanya-dave/) - We did the full course with our second child and a refresher session for our third. Without it the births would have been much longer and more painful. It also meant the recovery post partum was quicker. The hypnobirthing practices were also good bonding sessions for my husband and I, as well as bonding towards our
- [HypnoBirthing, Mindfulness & Post Natal Depression](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/hypnobirthing-mindfulness-post-natal-depression/) - Last week (11 – 17th May) was Mental Health Awareness Week, an annual event run by the Mental Health Foundation to increase public knowledge of mental health and wellbeing issues.

- [Hannah & Jon](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/hannah-jon/) - Having been recommended the Hypnobirthing course by a family member I have been wowed by the standard and quality of both the course and most importantly, Sacha. My husband and I have been given so many valuable techniques, information and also learnt quite a lot about our relationship in the process. I have utter confidence
- [Lindsey & Rich](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/lindsey-rich/) - We really enjoyed all aspects of the hypnobirthing course. We were a little sceptical at first, but by the end of the course felt much more confident and in control. I didn't realise how little I knew before embarking on the course. The information given with particular reference to how the body behaves, reacts and resolves
- [Carly & Ian](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/carly-ian/) - Ian and I are the incredibly proud parents of our gorgeous daughter Autumn Elizabeth. She was born at 4:34pm on Tuesday, 25th February weighing 9lb and absolutely beautiful. It was an unbelievably emotional roller coaster ride involving Cossham - Southmead - home - Cossham - Southmead and Autumn arriving by forceps in theatre due to
- [Nicola & Mark](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/nicola-mark/) - Having been on a taster session with another practitioner that was offering a weekend course I decided that I would research other HypnoBirthing practitioners and came across Sacha. I am so very grateful that I did. The amount of detail that is touched on in class and what is required of you in terms of
- [Sarah & Adrian](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/sarah-adrian/) - Sacha was absolutely fantastic when teaching my partner and I HypnoBirthing. My mind set changed from being terrified, apprehensive and beyond worried about labour to excitement, a sense of control, feeling confident and relaxed. During labour my midwife had to double check that I was fully dilated as she was so surprised I had dealt
- [Laura & Matt](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/laura-matt/) - After doing a bit of research and contacting Sacha for a taster session, we decided that HypnoBirthing was definitely the route we wanted to follow. We went on to enjoy every hypnobirth session with Sacha who we found to have a genuine passion in helping us to get the birthing experience we wanted. The sessions
- [A Tale of Three Babies](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/a-tale-of-three-babies/) - What a way to end 2013 for Serenity Birthing! I taught 3 very different couples recently, all privately, but they were all due around the end of November to early December. And now that all the babies have been born, I am excited to share with you their stories... Couple no.1 This couple started their

Love it or loath it, Christmas is coming…! Personally, I love this time of year, especially now our little HypnoBaby is 2 years old and beginning to understand something exciting is coming. The only part I don't like is the inevitable questions from
- [Philippa & Dave](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/288/) - Sacha's attitude was extremely positive and approachable and the course was extremely informative. I was surprised to learn about things on a physiological level that my midwife & antenatal classes had never even mentioned to me! Had my husband and I not done the course I am sure we would have been led by the
- [Nancy, second-time mum](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/nancy-second-time-mum/) - The word HypnoBirthing probably makes it sound like something it's not… it’s basically just reprogramming your brain not to be frightened of the whole process and to enjoy it, to know that you can do it…Within a few days after having Sid I really felt like I wanted to do it again because I enjoyed

- [Jacqui, Independent Midwife](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/jacqui-independent-midwife/) - I would have to say that HypnoBirthing is the most amazing phenomenon to observe in action. Women seem to sail through the birthing of their babies, working as a team with their birth partner who is the essential anchor for her. There is nothing for the midwife to do except sit quietly and watch and
- [Jessica & Chris](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/jc-feb-2013/) - The magic of HypnoBirthing is that you almost don’t realise the profound effect it is having. It creeps up gradually, in my case from a fear of childbirth to a relaxed, calm, even excited attitude towards labour and birth. Having already read the book and watched many YouTube hypnobirths, we weren’t entirely sure that the
- [M & P, March 2013](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/p-march2013/) - With the support of the HypnoBirthing techniques, my husband, the doula, and the midwife, I was able to have a completely natural and wonderful birth experience. I felt prepared and was able to let go of fear and let my body do what it was meant to do. M&P, March 2013
- [Lida & Paul](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/l-n-clifton/) - HypnoBirthing gave me a level of confidence about my birth that I would never have reached otherwise. I felt that I was ready to face the birth head on! The course and exercises were also a great way to get my husband involved and he had a real purpose in the delivery room. The birth
- [K&T](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/kt/) - I hadn't really heard of 'Hypnobirthing' before but being pregnant with our 2nd child and after a traumatic birth resulting in a emergency c section it was just what I needed to aid my decision of trying for a natural delivery. Due to my past experience we were able to alleviate both mine and my
- [The inevitable question - are you going to have another baby??](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/the-inevitable-question-are-you-going-to-have-another-baby/) - So, a couple of weeks ago, Mr HypnoBaby and I were staying with friends and started having a chat after dinner about whether or not we should take the plunge and have another baby, now our children are past the 18-month age... Dad's perspective Mr HypnoBaby declared that of course we should, it 'would be

Now, if the answer is 'no', then I understand a bit of skepticism and the occasional 'huff' could happen. After all, why on earth wouldn't everyone be doing this birthing method if it worked, right? However, if your answer is 'yes', then you will understand, as I now

- [Will I be ‘out of it’ if I use Hypnobirthing?](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/faq/will-i-be-out-of-it-if-i-use-hypnobirthing/) - No, absolutely not.

Is Hypnobirthing safe?](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/faq/im-not-sure-about-hypnosis-and-hypnotherapy-is-hypnobirthing-safe/) - Hypnosis is absolutely safe and often misunderstood, when in fact all of us, several times every day, go into a naturally hypnotic state. Unfortunately, TV, film and stage portrayal of hypnosis have left a lot of people with a mistaken view of what hypnosis is, and what it can (and can’t) do. Because this is

- [When should I start the classes?](https://purehypnobirthing.co.uk/faq/when-should-i-start-the-classes/) - Somewhere between 20-30 weeks is ideal, to give you plenty of time to practice the techniques, and if you are feeling particularly anxious about birth, I would recommend starting the course earlier to help you feel calmer and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy with confidence. And if you are already past 30 weeks, please
