Anna was absolutely brilliant. She ensured I was well informed about my birth rights, the processes involved in birth giving and what to expect in any eventuality. I planned a homebirth but ended up in hospital on a syntocinon drip, then they attempted forceps, eventually ending in emergency c-section, all the bells and whistles - absolutely not what I'd planned, but with the tools Anna gave me I managed to navigate my way through the surgery (a phobia of mine) using breathing techniques and positive affirmations. During the 12+ hours of labouring at home my boyfriend and birth partner Tom and I used all the tools she'd given us, especially the mp3s which I listened to on repeat whilst in the bath. Everything that could've gone wrong went wrong, but we coped thanks to Anna. I might add that she was also totally there for me leading up to the labour when I had questions and panics over induction, which she guided me through. Would 100% recommend and couldn't have done it without her, well I guess I could, but it would have been hellish. She's a total fairy godmother!

Anna was recommended to me by a friend when I was expecting I'd likely need a C-section as she has a few great videos and posts about incorporating Hypnobirthing with cesarean. I was nervous about surgery and it felt like miles away from what I wanted - a home birth - so I knew I'd need help to get in the right frame of mind. This was my second pregnancy and I found Anna's course provided so much information I didn't have the first time around and I love the way she simply gave you the tools to help you make informed decisions about your birth plans. I appreciated that she covered many eventualities, all options were valid and all choices made to feel welcome. I did get a late clear to proceed with a home birth but unfortunately I did end up needing help and decided to go into hospital after labouring at home for 10 hours. After having the epidural I asked for, I started to feel a lot of pressure from the medical team for further interventions but I felt empowered by the information, knowing decisions were mine to make. Although I ended up having a C-section in the end, each and every intervention I decided on for myself and didn't allow anyone to pressure snap decisions for me and requested alternatives where I could. I wouldn't have had the confidence and knowledge without investing in this course. And I was very thankful for preparing to have a C-section (birth plan C) which is also Anna's advice to all. Can't thank her enough!! Please don't hesitate to make this investment. Arming yourself with confidence and knowledge is so important. And no matter the outcome you can be prepared and informed and come out the other side feeling you were in control of the decisions for you and your baby. I'm so glad I did this for myself and wish all mamas felt they rocked their birth. <3

We loved the face to face hackney hypnobirthing classes with Anna! She’s warm and very knowledgeable about birth and prep. Gave us loads of confidence :)

I went from wanting a selective c-section because I was so scared of birth to wanting to have a home birth, after Annas course. In the end I decided to birth at the birthing centre and it was the most positive experience I could have wished for. The most important thing I took away from the course was knowing what my options were, as you don't always feel like you are given any. I was strongly recommended being induced but I felt confident enough to go home and a few hours later my contractions started. I feel like it could have been a very different story had I listened to the hospital staff instead of my own gut (and Annas voice in my head ;) ) Thank you Anna, will absolutely recommend x

I really can’t recommend Anna’s course highly enough, I was terrified about the prospect of giving birth and that fear was getting worse and worse as my pregnancy progressed and really impacting what should have been a happy and exciting time. We debated whether to invest in an in person course or whether to try one of the pre-recorded online courses and I’m so glad we went with Hackney Hypnobirthing. The sessions were informative, interesting and supportive and the resources that were provided were invaluable. Anna was also on hand via the group WhatsApp group for any questions outside of the sessions as well, and really tailored her approach to the individual circumstances and concerns of the people in the group. I feel really lucky to have had an incredible birth experience as a result of putting into practice the techniques Anna taught and being fully informed about what was happening at each stage and what my options were. My husband has also commented a number of times how much better prepared he felt to support me after doing the course, and that made all the difference on the day. Thank you Anna!

Anna has been fantastic. A thoroughly informative course, that arms you with both practical tools and all the birthing knowledge the docs will never tell you. Delivered by a very lovely and relatable expert, to boot!

Honestly can’t praise Anna’s classes enough for being so convenient, carried out over zoom from the comfort of our own home. Had a great supportive group of others doing the course and all have stayed in touch afterwards and formed a support system for each other, as has Anna. Her support doesn’t stop at the end of the last course session. The tools we learnt on the course were invaluable for both myself and my birth partner in supporting us through my labour although Plan A didn’t work out in the end we left our daughters birth feeling very positive despite it being a long and difficult experience and several changes of plan we felt empowered throughout and thats due to Anna’s guidance. Would not hesitate to recommend her course.
