Rachel Smith – Blossom: Classes with Midwife Rachel

– “Rachel was such a brilliant, calm and informative teacher. She made myself and my partner feel completely at ease and reassured whilst she delivered the hypnobirthing classes at our home. I found hypnobirthing to be far more factual than I had expected and it has given me a whole new perspective on the birthing process. I can honestly say I feel far more calm about the prospect of labour since taking the classes and I hope that my practice will pay off once the time comes. I highly recommend Rachel’s hypnobirthing classes to anyone looking for a more calm and relaxed birth and pregnancy”

– “I am so pleased that I did the Hypnobirthing course with Rachel. She made my Husband and I feel comfortable and was very accommodating with our situation which was amazing for us as we had our lessons at home. (We have a 2 year old who would insist from time to time to put a plaster on Rachel’s baby (prop) and would need to be put to bed in between the lessons). My Husband was more of a sceptic on the course than what I was and he had a total turnaround of thoughts by the end of the course. Rachel has a calming approach and her knowledge from being a midwife I think adds great value to the course too. I’d highly  recommend booking with Rachel to learn about Hypnobirthing”

– “Both my partner and I found Rachel’s hypnobirthing course extremely helpful and informative. It has made us both look forward to labour with confidence and understanding and Rachel was amazing at delivering all the information. Don’t be fooled by the title, hypnobirthing is such a logical approach to giving birth and learning skills to remain calm and confident. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough :-) xx”

We have thoroughly enjoyed each Hypnobirthing session with Rachel and feel empowered to give birth in a positive and relaxed way with as little intervention as possible. I now feel myself and my birth partner (my husband) have a full understanding of the process my mind and body will go through during labour therefore we can both respond accordingly with the knowledge I will remain in control and I can do it. Before we started Hypnobirthing I was uncertain and my husband was nervous he wouldn’t know what to do for me or what to expect during labour but now we are both looking forward to the experience and feel fully prepared. We have found a lot of the techniques useful in our day to day life especially with the current situation. Thanks to Hypnobirthing we have found ways to remain calm and relaxed. We can’t thank Rachel enough for he help and support teaching us everything we need to know ready for birth.

I’ve been meaning to get in touch with you to tell you that hypnobirthing had a really positive impact on my labour, and I’m so glad we did your course.

We went to the hospital when my labour ramped up as I fully wanted an epidural at that point, I didn’t think I could do it. However, I ended up giving birth in the pool on the midwife-led unit and I still can’t quite believe I did it! The single biggest thing for me was the breathing and having that to focus on, with Matt there to support me, really got me through. Thank you again for your amazing course!
