“Cannot recommend Sydney and her course enough. From the moment we met her, we felt at ease, being first-time parents we couldn’t have asked for more to help with our apprehensions & nervousness about pregnancy & the birth.
I have no doubt, that had we not completed the course, labour & birth would have been very different for us. Every decision we made through the journey was made with confidence & informed. Sydney being a midwife herself really helped with some of the questions & queries we had.
Not only that but she has been at the end of the phone when I’ve had anything to ask, pre & post-birth. Will be recommending this course to everyone I know having a baby.”

Feedback questions: are there any other comments or suggestions you have to help improve this course going forward?
“Nothing at all, even though I had a caearean section I really don’t think I could have managed to be calm ahead of the day of the section. The relaxations & mantras were so helpful during the c section also.
We couldn’t recommend Sydney more, she filled us full of positivity & knowledge. Despite my birth not going to plan she was there with me every step of the way. Not only have I got a healthy baby out of all of this but I’ve also made a wonderful friend”

Question: did the course provide you with a sense of confidence & preparedness for your birth experience?
“Yes it definitely did, I found out towards the end of my pregnancy I would need an elective caesarean section & so we were able to tailor the course accordingly, I really appreciated Sydney carrying out sessions to prepare me particularly, when we went into hospital both my husband & I felt calm & prepared, we were able to put our playlist on in theatre that we used throughout our hypnobirthing journey which instantly helped to ease my nerves.
Everything Sydney taught us was clear & effective, she is so knowledgable & always happy to answer any questions we had. I really appreciated Sydney’s honesty & first hand experiences as a midwife to help with my questions. The relaxations we practiced together helped me to keep calm throughout pregnancy. I would definitely do the course again, I was very anxious about a lot of things but Sydney’s familiar face & calming nature made me feel at ease throughout, I have already recommended her to all of my pregnancy friends”

“Sydney is an experienced & wonderful teacher & midwife & is both friendly & knowledgable. She clearly knows her stuff & her course helped my wife & me immeasurably prepare for birth, as well as the days & weeks to follow.
Sometimes, as a dad-to-be you can feel like you don’t know what your role should be or how best to support your partner. After speaking with Sydney I can honestly say I feel more equipped to deal with the needs of both my wife & baby, during labour & post birth.
As a sceptic around all things ‘hypnosis’ I feel hypnobirthing sorely needs a new name. It is far from wishy-washy & instead practical, informative & enjoyable.”

"I was extremely nervous about labour & knew I wanted to do more than just read a book about hypnobirthing, and that’s where Sydney stepped in. My husband & I booked a zoom course of 1:1 sessions & her midwifery experience shone from the first session. She listened to any concerns I had & met them with understanding & practical solutions.
I must admit my husband was sceptical but Sydney had a great way of engaging with him & ensuring he knew what part he could play to help, making it a lovely experience for you & your partner to do together. She covered everything you could possibly need to know about hypnobirthing & the practical sides of labour, meaning we felt informed & ready for whatever labour threw at us. Sydney genuinely cares about you & your family & I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, she’s a credit to midwifery & hypnobirthing”

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help. The breathing techniques, affirmations & relaxations were really lovely to keep me calm through pregnancy but really came into their own for my labour. The breathing techniques helped sooo much, I could keep things so much more measured in my head & it brought so much headspace & time when I needed to be patient.
I also kept having affirmations going through my mind, didn’t think I’d realised quite how powerful & helpful a tool they could be. You’ve been so calm, knowledgable & generous with your time and it means I can look back on a long week with positivity & love, thank you, thank you!”
