Testimonials
"Chris has changed our outlook on birth by providing us with the skills and tools to prepare us. She is very reassuring."
"What I learned in this course was extremely helpful throughout labor and it also helped me get much closer to my partner and share the experience with him. Unforgettable teachings, course and birth!" "It is great to see what your fears were at the beginning of the course and see how much has changed at the end." "My partner, who had taken the course very seriously, was there every step of the way and I cannot imagine having done it without him. He used all of the techniques Chris taught us and it helped tremendously - he was my coach, my teammate, my biggest ally and with his love we jointly made it happen." "The course has really inspired me, that I feel every woman should have access to this and there should be a big shift attitudes towards birthing." "I liked learning the history of the medicalisation of birth. It’s really important to know that detail and then compare that with views and practices from other cultures and women. I also enjoyed learning the chemistry and biology behind birthing that helped me to make sense of the entire birthing process." "The interactive lessons were great at demonstrating many aspects of the course. They still stick with me." "The best part was the techniques and breathing to use with my spouse during contractions." "Having the opportunity to talk through the many aspects of the course with someone knowledgeable and receiving support was brilliant." "I appreciate the gentleness of the trainer and providing the good and calm environment for a couple with a child, delivering sessions at the right pace for the couple, which took her extra time. And patience in listening our fears and our experiences without judging, and keeping neutral and encouraging that it´s possible for any mother to learn about it." |
"The course was great and has completely changed my perspective on and relationship to birthing. I now feel in a very empowered and knowledgeable state going into this birth with my first child and I feel like I am going to have the birthing experience I always wanted in my heart, but had no real idea how to achieve. I cannot imagine how I would be feeling right now if I had not had the opportunity to do this course, probably scared, nervous, anxious and overall, quite ignorant (without really knowing my level of ignorance). I feel incredibly grateful that my baby will start their life in a such a positive way, what a beautiful beginning for them. For that I am truly grateful as I know that will stay with us both forever and have so many benefits for us both in our lives."
"The most important things we learned were how relaxation and visualisation can help and how to remain in control and push back on medical suggestions that you don’t feel comfortable with." "Everything, from engaging my partner in meaningful ways, feeling far more confident about the ability of my body and my baby to go through labor, learning how to breathe and find peace at the hardest of times... all made a huge difference. I also felt particularly thankful to Chris for being our guide the weeks prior to birth. She was perfect - honestly, couldn't have had a better companion on this journey!" "I have learnt about relaxation of our minds and thoughts about birth, how important is the role of the birth partner, tools to cope with staff, relatives. Information about care our body in pregnancy and natural birth can develop a gentle and calm and happy delivery reducing stress and external drugs." "Chris was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of the questions that I and my birthing partner had with ease and confidence. She was really calm and positive in the delivery of the course, which made the experience enjoyable, and I was able to take in the information. She was organised, sending us through a list of materials required for the next session so that we could prepare and got us through in the time that she had set out for us. Overall she was very supportive and listened to us as individuals, to our needs and concerns, and was able to adapt the course to us as individuals, which was really helpful." |
