What They Say About Their Experience
Thank you, I had my baby exactly on her due date on 12.12 😊 My waters broke on 10.12, and it took exactly 48 hours to have her. I used breathing the most, during the surges, reminding myself to relax the jaw. For some reason during the strong surges I imagined I am skiing up the mountain, have no idea why, this visualization just came to me and helped to go through the pain :) the whole experience was quite calm, despite me being “on the clock” because of the waters. But I kept reminding myself to stay calm.
So thank you a lot as well for introducing the practices, it gave me confidence and I am sure contributed a lot to the result as well ☺️

My entire labor was 17 hours ; natural delivery with epidural and episiotomy. I tried to do without epidural but only lasted for 11 hours before giving in as the contraction pain was too much to bear. But it was the HypnoBirthing techniques that made it possible for me to go 11 hours without epidural and it’s quite an achievement to me.
I truly enjoyed the course and there's so many things I love about the course - the knowledge about birthing, positive birth videos, the meditation practices, etc. I also appreciated that the course covered things that birth partner can do because they were really helpful during my labor!

Thank you! The breathing technique and relaxation helped during the c-section. I was really scared and hung to those as an anchor.
Even now, when it's difficult to pee, I'm still using the breathing to help me.
So it's really a life skill.

It was a wonderful feeling to be useful at this moment, an experience usually lived exclusively by women. Setting up the room (playing calming music, creating a dim atmosphere), offering reassuring words, reading relaxation methods, providing logistical support with energy bars and hydration – these were my tasks during the 4 hours of labor. One often imagines this moment as one of pain, cries, tears, until the moment of delivery, but it wasn't like that. Apart from my wife's extreme fatigue, it was as if the world had gone silent not to scare our baby.

Maud has been incredibly helpful throughout my hypnobirthing journey. From the first session, her calming presence and deep expertise reassured me and my partner, easing our anxieties about childbirth. Her classes were informative and empowering, providing us with practical techniques to relax and connect with our baby during pregnancy and labor.
Maud creates a supportive and nurturing environment, making each session feel personalized and beneficial. Her dedication to her clients' well-being and her passion for hypnobirthing are evident. Thanks to her guidance, I approached childbirth with confidence and peace.
Even though I had a C-section due to my baby's position, I used the meditation techniques Maud taught me while waiting for my husband to enter the operation theater. They helped me stay calm during the operation, especially when I started shaking from the epidural. I remembered the sessions and one of the audios Maud shared, which helped me stay connected and calm for my baby.
I highly recommend Maud and Bliss in Birth to any expectant parents looking for a positive and empowering birth experience. Her support and expertise are invaluable, and I am very grateful for everything she has taught us.
Thank you, Maud, for being such an important part of our birthing journey!

Maud was very welcoming and generous with her time, sharing some techniques to relax ahead of the birthing process.
I enjoyed the practice part of HypnoBirthing and I discovered that giving birth doesn't necessary involve pain and tearing.
Ivana
Thanks again for all the tools and techniques you taught us - they were incredible useful to stay calm in the hospital during the operation and even more so during the first weeks of very challenging breastfeeding 🤱 I’m not sure if I might have given up without some of the breathing techniques etc. Therefore super grateful because having persevered I now super enjoy the bonding through it with Momo (our daughter) and the blessing to be able to provide her with her first nutrition 🙏

I engaged with Bliss In Birth when I was feeling utterly unprepared for my delivery, although it was my second pregnancy. Maud was welcoming and gently layered new foundations of knowledge and techniques to cope with all stages of birth. Our hypnobirthing classes were relaxing, eye (and soul)-opening experiences and helped me believe even more in my own power. The sessions increased my confidence that I could handle everything calmly, by trusting my body, resulting in my baby boy's beautiful, natural, and unmedicated delivery!

Julia had an incredible delivery yesterday and our daughter is here!! I’m sure she will tell you more, but hypno birthing techniques got her through a necessary induction naturally with no epidural!! We are very proud and grateful, thank you again!

The education I got from Maud about HypnoBirthing is a lifelong education in the importance of breathing and visualization, ie meditation. I am forever grateful for these teachings and for her instructions. The course was thorough and made a big difference in how we received parenthood. Thank you!
Julia
Our baby arrived earlier than expected! All went well with the natural birth. Was listening to the rainbow relaxation and practiced a lot of the calm breathing 😮💨 before the big push! By far the toughest push in my life but worth every while for this little gem 💎
Thanks for supporting Ivan and I in our birthing journey, Maud!
Rachel
Maud was very welcoming and patient. She created a safe space for couples to share our feelings and thoughts in birthing and pregnancies.
She was detailed and passionate in her lessons. I learnt a lot about HypnoBirthing and was able to utilise the breathing techniques and visualizations to create my dream birth for my baby.
