How comfortable and confident we were going into labour... having had the benefit of your
instruction. Thank you both....for all the wisdom and advice you imparted during the two
sessions at the Haelan Centre. Cassandre and Mark Burgess
A quick thank you from me and Chris. We both found the classes very helpful and it greatly helped to put me at ease a bit more. Thanks again. Doris and Chris
Thank goodness we attended your classes, as all you taught us came in handy.Vashti and Paul
We both got a lot out of the sessions and feel so much better informed and prepared for the arrival of our first child. I loved the fact that partners were so actively involved, and that there was such a healthy emphasis on the way in which our bodies are built to help us give birth. This has given us both a lot more confidence and removed much of the fear and anxiety. And all in such a relaxed and friendly environment! Jo & Kei Ichimura
Honest,confident approach to the whole process.Really fab class!! Lauren & Nick
My husband and I attended Birthingmatters as well as another class led by a birth-educator. Having the Birthingmatters Midwives teaching made a real difference.The other class was good but the Midwives taught from their training and long experience..straight from the horses mouth so to speak..whereas the other lady used a lot of friends' anecdotes which was a bit scary at times. Emma & David
A very big thank you to Louise for the antenatal class, it was most informative and gave me huge confidence as the big day arrived. We were told what we were to expect and different scenarios should things not go to plan. I ended up being induced and having a C-Section, but having run through what all of this meant allowed me to maintain a calm approach. This was helped by the various breathing exercises that we were shown. I would recommend, and have recommended, Louise to many of my Mum-to-be friends. It was a simple, yet re-assuring and knowledgeable perspective on childbirth. Thank you. Megan & Dave
David and I greatly benefitted from your friendly antenatal classes before the birth of our first child. You gave us the confidence to write a realistic birth plan that fully explained the birth we hoped to have. You also gave us the knowledge and understanding that we would have to be flexible when the time came. Helped by a brilliant midwife at the Whittington we had a very positive experience indeed - even though things didn't go quite to plan right at the end and we needed intervention before the safe arrival of our beautiful little boy. Thank you so much. Sarah & David
Thanks for a great preparation! It's definitely given us the confidence and knowledge we needed - we are actually looking forward to the whole birth experience... ok, maybe still slightly nervous ... : ) Nadja & Adrian
Thanks again for the classes - I feel well prepared, well, as far as it's possible to prepare for something so unknown. Josie & Wes
Thank you for all the helpful tips and information you gave us during the classes, I really enjoyed them. Charlotte & Tom, London
David and I found your classes very informative and helpful. You have a lovely teaching style and we enjoyed the relaxed, friendly environment. Ann and David
We really enjoyed your class, we thought you were great! I think the small size, the length and structure of each session are quite important points which make your classes a great alternative to NCT. The size of the group made it easy to ask any question we had and we met nice people. Would definitively recommend these classes to any expecting couple.
