Emma’s Essentials Hypnobirthing course was great! Her expertise and passion created a supportive environment whereby I felt relaxed and at ease. Not only did the course teach us about how to use Hypnobirthing but we also left knowing what to expect during labour and birth and the science behind it. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is pregnant! Emma is brilliant! J.P. Aug 23
I did the 4 hour hypnobirthing course with Emma which I would 100% recommend. I feel so much more educated and informed about my choices and so much more relaxed and prepared for the birth of my baby. Thanks Emma! V.L. March 23
