I found this course invaluable. It opened up conversations between myself and my partner, and also allowed me to think and give me space to reflect and prepare. Whilst my birth took a different route than I had hoped, I was able to use the skills I had learned and choices I’d discovered on the course to stay calm and take care of myself. Siobhan was brilliant and made the experience relaxed, supportive and open. She was passionate and genuinely excited for all we had to come, and kept in touch when I needed support outside of the sessions, which meant so much. The course also allowed us to connect with other expectant parents in the area. Highly recommend - thank you for all you did for us!

Siobhan is a total fountain of knowledge on all things birth-related and my partner and I gained so much from our sessions with her. She has such a calming, confident and positive approach with plenty of humour too, and it made us feel really excited about our birth - so much so, part of me wishes she could be there to witness it and help us during the throes of labour!! Siobhan has a great energy and is super informative without pushing some of the more traditional hypnobirthing agendas - she works with you to help inform and do what feels right. I’d recommend any pregnant person gets in touch with her, no matter your level of birth knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed our sessions - thanks Siobhan!

Siobhan is a powerhouse of knowledge and passion for all things birth related. The course was packed full of useful information made digestible through Siobhan's presentation and delivery. I feel equipped with the knowledge to not only advocate for myself when the time comes, but the course has also made me feel empowered, confident and calm. I particularly liked the ethos of the Mindful Birth course, it felt more inclusive than a traditional hypno-birthing course, allowing the space for the participant to explore what works for them without selling the false notion of "the perfect birth", but rather equips you with the tools to make any birthing experience positive and empowering.

"Siobhan is incredibly well informed and gives you a brilliant overview which left me feeling confident and prepared for this epic journey. The information flow around birth can be scary and overwhelming, but how she structured and delivered the information was perfect - not too much, not too little or vague. I highly recommend it to anyone; whether you’ve been already reading up all the literature or completely clueless. It’s the best way to prepare yourself in a relaxed but well informed manner, giving you a sense of calm and excitement for the most important life change."

"I learnt so much on this course, all of which feels like incredibly important information. I now feel I will be a birth partner, able to make informed decisions if required. I feel we will be able to navigate the journey with more confidence and less doubt. This feels empowering and like it has helped us to achieve better peace of mind. Thank you Siobhan for making the sessions a great balance of seriousness and fun and for bringing your confidence and care. The knowledge shared is powerful and exceptionally valuable and will make a great difference to people's lives."

“My partner and I found Siobhan the course really helpful, informative and engaging and would 100% recommend to other expectant parents. Siobhan was warm, welcoming and friendly and created a really safe space in which to learn and ask questions. She was really knowledgable and passionate and recommended lots of further reading/resources that we plan to dip in and out of as we get nearer to our due date.”

“Siobhan was a huge support throughout my pregnancy and early days of motherhood. She made me feel empowered and even excited about the birth, offering the perfect amount of guidance and resources to allow me to fully educate myself on birth and those early (sometimes very challenging) days! Siobhan’s passion for what she does and the encouragement gave me is something that I’ll always remember.”

“Siobhan was a crucial part of my antenatal and postnatal support team, providing non-judgmental and grounding guidance at a time of huge upheaval for me after the birth of my 2nd child. Siobhan’s passion for her work is infectious and her deep understanding of matrescence coupled with her delicious sense of humour was a tonic for my soul. I can't thank her enough for her support..”

“I spoke to Siobhan weekly in the run up to my second birth and she contributed a calming energy to my birth prep. She directed me to inspiring materials that helped me build a confident frame of mind and educate myself on what I had wish I had known the first time round! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone..”

"The course was a wonderful experience - educational, well structured and suitably personalised. Siobhan was knowledgeable, passionate, FUN, supportive and completely non-judgemental. Very empowering, would recommend."

"As a first time mum, the atmosphere Siobhan created in classes was perfect - calm, relaxed and open. My anxieties were completely left at the door and I felt like no question was a stupid question and the dynamic was so lovely between the group - despite all looking to approach the birth in different ways. The course itself covered the practical ins and outs, but balanced perfectly with taking a more hypnobirthing approach to it all. It also really helps to swap the leaflets with stuff you’ll actually enjoy reading - good instas to follow and books to borrow. Thank you Siobhan!"
