  • Doing the HypnoBirthing course with Erika has been such a positive experience. Not only is Erika so passionate and knowledgeable, she also has the most friendly and caring nature, which makes her an exceptional teacher. HypnoBirthing is a fantastic course. It is very comprehensive, encompassing both the physical and emotional aspects of birth. As second time parents, we have been amazed by all the new things we have learnt. After each session with Erika, we felt better equipped and more empowered. She gave us the tools we needed to approach birth with excitement and confidence. Both my husband and I feel very privileged to have met her and had her guide us through this wonderful course. We would highly recommend the course to all expecting parents.

  • HypnoBirthing made a huge impact on my birth. During my time in the Birth Suite I could hear other women screaming as they birthed. However, I was able to calmly breathe through my birth and use my energy when I needed to. Despite the challenges after the birth, I didn't feel scared or uncertain, but instead I was aware of all my options and confident in what I was doing. Even the midwife who sat next to me in the room as I pushed commented on my breathing and could tell that I had done a HypnoBirthing course. I would highly recommend HypnoBirthing to all soon to be mums, especially first time mums! The timing of the course spread across 5 weeks ensured that there was plenty of space to practice between sessions. Erika was gentle and kind, and able to explain new concepts well and take us on the journey.

  • Erika is very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the personal touch and real life stories she brought to the course. My partner and I both feel calm, but excited for the birth of our first baby after the 5 week course. We now have a large toolkit of resources at our fingertips to use during labour/birth and postpartum and the confidence to advocate for ourselves to better influence our birth outcomes.
