The Mindful Birth Group® Anmeldelser 155

We are so pleased to have met Sally and completed a Mindful Birthing course with her. I am certain that this is one of the reasons we had such a straight forward home birth - exactly as we’d planned. Sally really made us feel super confident going into the birth, tailored the content to us and answered every question we had (never making us feel silly). We left feeling well informed and excited about the birth. Thank you Sally!

The course has been fantastic and invaluable to me and my partner as first time parents. Rhonda has been brilliant from start to finish and I couldn’t ask for someone better to have ran our sessions. She is really knowledgeable and supportive. Overall the experience has been excellent!

I cannot recommend Laura’s birth preparation course. My partner and I felt excited at the prospect of birth and meeting our baby. I loved how partners were involved and this really helped throughout my pregnancy. Alex was by my side the whole time and not just in the literal sense - he knew what I wanted and what decisions were best going forward. I think this is down to reading and Laura’s course. Laura gave beautiful recommendations for books, readings, websites to helps us feel empowered not only for the pregnancy/birth but also the fourth trimester which has been invaluable. The course gave me the knowledge about different aspects of births, my choices surrounding appointments, the birth it self and the recovery. This has definitely helped with my recovery after birth and really listening to my body, making sure we prepared for nourishment and help afterwards.
Thank you again Laura.

As anxious first time parents with zero idea what to expect, we enrolled on a Mindful Birth Group hypnobirthing course with Sally after seeing a recommendation on social media and also being recommended by our private midwife.
We were quite late on in the pregnancy when we decided to do the course but Sally was very accommodating and did her best to make it work.
We found the content of the course and Sally’s delivery of it very easy to digest and absorb. Sally was amazing - very professional, but also warm and friendly….we felt like we could ask away with all our stupid questions.
The course really did set us up well for the birth, and we gained some skills for life. Sally’s support was invaluable, and we miss her very much

Fantastic course provided by Sally, couldn’t recommend more. I liked that the course was physiological as well as mindful and covered abdominal births where unplanned. I also felt the course was enhanced by Sally’s knowledge of our local health trust so it was more specific in terms of expectations or likely scenarios. The availability and support of Sally before, during and after the course was invaluable.

The Mindful Birth Group offers fantastic training and on going support whether you are new or already practicing.
There is a supportive community of instructors alongside on going additional training to support your growth.

I trained as a teacher with the mindful birth group whilst pregnant with my second baby. Not only did the teacher training course provide me with the confidence to help other parents with their birth preparation, it also helped me to have a positive birthing experience with my second baby. Completely contrasting from my first birth experience (and one of the reasons I felt the need to train in the first place!)

The training has taught me so much, from navigating hardships in my own day to day life, to supporting parents from different walks of life.

The membership has been invaluable so far and everybody is so supportive and friendly - we get together on zoom and in real life, we discuss important topics within the birthing world and have good fun and a laugh as well, which can be very much needed. Everybody is flexible and understanding of the trials and tribulations of running a business while raising and young family and Emiliana has worked incredibly hard to take the headache out of the booking system for teachers, which is fantastic for people like myself, who are passionate about helping parents-to-be but have absolutely zero background in web design and marketing!

Working solo can often make you feel the imposter syndrome hard, but the team have worked so incredibly diligently to ensure that the before you start teaching, your knowledge is thorough, that you have a support network and bank of resources to draw upon when needed and that you feel you have the most up-to-date knowledge in the form of CPD courses, which are included in the membership. I feel very in-the-loop in terms of current maternity service development and support of different parents.

If you are thinking of undergoing this training, and joining the group I would 100% recommend it!

Being first time parents, my husband and I wanted a calm, relaxed atmosphere where we could speak freely about our worries, concerns and general questions. Mindful Birth Group provides all that and more. The Hub has a wealth of information and support, which you can use as and when you feel necessary without that overwhelming feeling.The mindful approach has settle us both and allowed us to really understand our journey. If you are looking for a personalised approach to an antenatal class to prepare you for your individual birthing journey, this group is all you need!

Sally delivered our mindful birth course. Her guidance not only made me feel confident about labour but actually excited and totally empowered. We had some challenges to navigate throughout our birth, but thanks to Sallys experienced guidance we felt equipped to handle them and in the end had a positive birthing experience. The course is useful for both partners, and I personally valued from having a partner that was able to help advocate for me using the information and techniques we learned. Aside from the practical advice we gained through the course, we were so grateful to have met Sally. She is a purely wonderful human being and can’t thank her enough for making this experience of having our first baby so enjoyable!

I had much anxiety about labour so was signposted to Sally by my midwife. It was the best decision I made throughout my whole pregnancy. The face to face sessions empowered us & alleviated previous worries, as well as enabling my husband to feel fully involved. We felt a real team, able to tackle the unknown ahead. Not only did we massively benefit from the course, but Sally goes above & beyond to provide advice during pregnancy & beyond. She really was such an invaluable support & I don’t know what we would have done without her. I can’t rave about the course/her enough.

I’ve long since been aware of the benefits of mindset, and knew from very early on in my pregnancy that I wanted to look into mindful birthing. As an experienced midwife, I have seen ALOT (the good and the bad), and whilst this was really beneficial in some ways, it was also less so in others - and I wanted my birth to be as positive as possible, whichever way it unfolded. Enter Sally and Blossom hypnobirthing.

Myself and my partner had 3 face to face sessions with Sally and it was invaluable to us both. For me as a midwife, whilst much of the information wasn’t necessarily new, it did totally transform and reframe what I knew, and how I felt about labour and birth. Even now, 4 months later, I can still vividly recall using the techniques taught. I can hand on heart say my experience wouldn’t have been the same without this wonderful lady. We are so thankful to Sally for all her support and advice, not just in the sessions but continued throughout my whole pregnancy and into the postnatal period. Highly recommend Blossom for starting parenthood the right way. Thank you 🙏

We started working with Emiliana when I was pregnant and took her full hypnobirthing course which was absolutely brilliant. It taught me how to calmly work my way through the end of pregnancy, birth and the 4th trimester. It also heavily prepared my husband for the birth and beyond. The course and Emiliana have been invaluable to me and really helped with the birth and keeping me calm. Since our son arrived Emiliana has continued to be a huge support and I’m so glad we met her ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I took the abdominal birth course via zoom. Fab course that really prepared me for what was going to happen. I had a really positive birth experience that I put down to taking this course. Highly recommend for those also opting for an abdominal birth/elective c section.

I found the sessions to be really interesting and educational, usually my husband hates anything like that but Rhonda was great at making us both feel comfortable and relaxed.
I am now planning a homebirth which I'm really excited for and I can honestly say I never even would have considered having a homebirth if it wasn't for Rhonda. I'd highly recommend the course as I learnt so much useful information that has made both me and my husband feel much better prepared for labour

Sally is amazing. She has a wealth of knowledge, she is patient & kind. My partner & I had different starting points in terms of what we knew & she made it interesting & accessible for both of us. She also goes above & beyond, answering queries in her own time. She was flexible with when we could do the course & always stayed longer than planned, to answer our questions. I would highly recommend her!

We booked onto the in-person/1-1 antenatal classes with Sally. She has been absolutely incredible from start to finish, well that makes it sound far too final, as we’d love for Sally to be in our lives forever!! We learnt so much from her, really making us feel totally at ease with the third and fourth trimester in particular. She made us feel totally confident with our birth choices and has been such a pillar of support throughout our pregnancy. We can’t wait for her to meet baby when he/she arrives! Thank you so much, Sally x

The course was incredibly informative & really helped us prepare for the birth.
Emiliana was also fantastic - knowledgeable, helpful & caring.

I affiliated to The Mindful Birth Group in September 2021. I had trained in hypnobirthing a number of years ago but as a practicing midwife had tweaked some of that knowledge and learning to apply to all births in an attempt to offer a more bespoke service. I had been looking for a way to make my sessions more accessible as I often met parents who despite having completed a hypnobirth course did not feel prepared when some of their plans changed either in pregnancy, birth or in their early parenting. I also supported parents choosing/or requiring an abdominal birth for the birth of their baby and they felt birth preparation courses were not open to them. Emiliana was incredibly generous with her time and support and I knew instantly I had found what I had been searching for. As a TMBG teacher I joined a group of other teachers and as a team their kindness, support, wisdom, commitment, and experience is phenomenal. They may be small in numbers but they have the biggest hearts. The curriculum is a joy to teach and all course materials are current and user friendly. Emiliana and TMBG are a proactive, inclusive group and are changing the landscape of antenatal education, birth preparation and early parenting for the better. I'm thrilled to be part of such a fantastic team and am excited for what the future holds :)

I was satisfied with the course, it gave me extra peace of mind in the knowledge and support before my delivery date.

I absolutely loved this course! I used it while preparing for the birth of my daughter in May 2016 and then listened to it while pregnant with my son in 2019. They put so much love and care into it so I’m here reviewing it now in 2022 because more women need to know them and get the loving support we all deserve during pregnancy and beyond!
