My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Emma to prepare for the birth of our first baby. Emma’s classes were both informative and relaxing and we both feel so prepared for a peaceful, natural birth at home, thanks to our HyponoBirthing practice. If you’re interested in HypnoBirthing, I would highly recommend working with Emma.

I couldn’t thank Emma enough for teaching me and my husband the art of Hypnobirthing. Even though I ended up being induced I still used the the Hypnobirthing method and had an incredible natural birth. I couldn’t recommend Emma enough, thank you!
Louise, Tring
Emma has a warm and intuitive teaching style. She guided me through my pregnancy and helped me overcome my birthing fears and have the most empowering and rewarding birthing experience. I actually enjoyed it. For that I am hugely thankful.
Sarah, Berkhamsted
The environment was positive and welcoming. The hypnobirthing course was informative, educational and provided us with the tools to have at the birth. I feel more knowledgeable and confident and my partner is now more involved in the process. We feel excited for the birth
Clare, Watford
I just want to say a massive thank you, the hypnobirthing skills you taught us on the course were invaluable during the birth. It gave us so much confidence, the whole experience was calm, anxiety free and positive.
Jessica, Leighton Buzzard
The course was really informative and I learnt so much about birth that I never knew. It was lovely to discuss concerns and other ideas for birth with other couples. I feel a lot calmer and positive about giving birth and more confident that I can handle whatever happens during our birthing experience. I have enjoyed the relaxations so much. I am glad I have plenty of them to listen to before our birthing day.
Amelia, Leighton Buzzard
I did not have any type of pain relief at all and the sensations I had were completely bearable. Iain was also really great, he stayed in control and calm, did the soft touch massage and was generally very soothing. I put my amazing birth experience down to the hypnobirthing lessons and doing the relaxations and birthing affirmations (almost) daily, so thank you for teaching Iain and I the skills we needed to make that happen.
Penny, Rickmansworth
Just to say many thanks. Had it not been for hypnobirthing, I would have not survived! Our baby Eden was born 23rd December and using the hypnobirthing tools saved me! I got to full dilation within 3 hours of the first sign of labour and the breathing literally took the pain away like an anaesthetic would, I was surprised how powerful it was. I cannot emphasise enough the empowerment, confidence, vital knowledge and coping tools that I gained from hypnobirthing. I rarely recommend courses but this is a must for every woman. To be candid I would advise this course is taught to every mother-to-be as standard, simply to equip women with the physical, emotional/mental skills & techniques required to undergo the powerful experience of childbirth; and to access the inner strength required for such a feat!

Hypnobirthing often gives women and their birth companions the confidence to have a homebirth rather than go to a hospital, to benefit from the familiarity, privacy and tranquility of the home environment. Some people choose to go to a birth centre for a home-from-home type of approach led by midwives, or some are required for medical reasons to go to the labour ward in a hospital.
For couples who choose a hospital birth, there are a few choices in the country of Surrey, which are as follows:-
The East Surrey Hospital – Canada Ave, Redhill, RH1 5RH. Tel. – 01737 768511
St Peter’s Hospital – Guildford St, Lyne, Chertsey, KT16 0PZ. Tel. – 01932 872000

The nine months of pregnancy is a very special time for mums-to-be. It is a time of great physiological and emotional change. Unfortunately some changes mean the discomfort of backache, aching hips, sciatica, cramp, insomnia and swelling to name but a few. This is where massage can be of great comfort and alleviate some of the more uncomfortable effects of pregnancy.

Hypnobirthing is a birthing process that enables a calmer, easier delivery. The hypnobirthing’s primary purpose is to aid mums-to-be in staying in control, free from anxiety and any fears about their labour. This form of birth takes less time than a normal one and also enables a delivery with less pain giving mums the best opportunity for a drug-free natural birth.
No, there is never a complete guarantee of painless birthing even with hypnobirthing because it varies from person to person. The pain level will be less if you have a good knowledge and understanding of hypnobirthing and have practised the key techniques.
According to studies, it is known that around 65%-70% of women who go for hypnobirthing don’t require any pain-reducing medicines for the labour process. Other than this figure, around 20%-25% of hypnobirthing women only need light treatments, including air and gas. However, 5%-10% of women have special circumstances that require some intervention. But there are still various benefits that hypnobirthing can provide to these women, including the power to maintain a calm environment for the birthing process.
It is essential to realise that if the mother takes any medication, there is a chance that it can affect her baby. Without the epidural, the mother can move freely and connect with her body to help the baby come out. According to research, epidurals increase the labour time and create conditions in which forceps or vacuum often become necessary.
Hypnobirthing helps educate women about the whole labour process and teaches them how to stay positive and calm during the whole procedure. Hypnobirthing makes sure that birthing mothers are as relaxed as possible, leading to a smoother delivery.
We recommend that you start learning hypnobirthing between the 20th and 30th week of your pregnancy. However, if you are later than 30 weeks, we can still fit a course in for you up to your estimated delivery date.
Yes absolutely. The purpose of hypnobirthing is to teach self-hypnosis (breathing and visualisation techniques) which needs regular practice so that you and your birthing partner are fully prepared and confident for their birthing day.
Hypnobirthing is suited to first-time mothers who feel nervous and want to properly prepare for birth and also for mothers of subsequent births who want a better experience than before. The techniques are simple and easy to do.
Hypnobirthing helps your baby, giving them a sense of calmness emanating from you during pregnancy and birth. Babies come into the world feeling calm, welcome and loved.
