  This MUST be in your birth preparation plan. I cannot recommend Rhian and her Little Dots Hypnobirthing course enough. As a mom preparing for birth a second time after a challenging first delivery - I found confidence, peace and tranquillity. I never thought it would be possible for me to feel calm, safe and at peace when delivering my second baby. It was VERY possible, through the support, training and tools Rhain gave me. My birth experience would have been vastly different with out hypnobirthing and Rhian. I owe lots of gratitude to her methods, calm demeanour, playful attitude and trust. She's a winner, a real gem, someone you want on your side when bringing a gorgeous human into the world. THANK YOU!!!! XOXOXO

  I cannot recommend this course enough. I took this course as a second time mum as I had a traumatic first birth experience so it wa s vital for me to change my attitude towards a second birth. Rhian was incredible, she is so knowledgeable and approachable. Her sessions are fun and digestible and they really make you feel empowered even if you have a preconceived idea of birth and what to expect. The tools provided with the course are amazing and they really see you through all the stages of pregnancy and labour. I loved listening to my affirmations soundtrack while going to work in the car and feeling the sensation of my mindset shifting and the trust in my body growing. I went on to have an incredible second birth that made me feel completely empowered, and this has reflected on my 4th trimester and bonding with baby. I got to 10 centimetres only using my breath and clarisage oil, completely in the zone, and I have to say...I enjoyed it. Baby Mia was born in the water at the birthing centre with a very smooth pushing stage and not a stitch. I never doubted myself or felt scared or out of control and it was all due to the fact that the course has taught me to believe in my power to birth easily and without fear. Thank you Rhian, your work is so important for birthing mothers to experience birth in a positive way!!

  I cannot recommend Rhian and her Little Dots Hypnobirthing course enough. I’m a second time mum and as someone who struggles with anxiety, I wanted to get as much advice as possible to help keep me calm during labour, and Rhian’s hypnobirthing course gave me all the tools to do this. After discovering our baby was breech along with extra fluid late on in pregnancy, we began preparing for a potential c section birth which I was quite nervous about, but after conversations with Rhian she gave us advice specific to our situation to help calm my mind and prepare for different scenarios. After my waters broke, we opted for an emergency c section in hospital and using the breathing techniques and affirmations Rhian equipped us with, along with her beautiful c section affirmation audio being played in the speakers of the operating theatre, I was able to have an incredible birth - something I did not think was possible with a c section! Hypnobirthing is a fantastic skill to learn, but Rhian’s amazing guidance and support really makes her course specifically special as her passion and knowledge really shines through and there is nothing too little she is happy to help with. Thank you Rhian, you were a huge part of our pregnancy and birth story, and we are so grateful for all your help and kind words.

  It’s difficult to put into words the positive impact that Rhian and Hypnobirthing has had - we feel incredibly lucky that we decided to contact Rhian after a recommendation. We both feel our birth experience was as special and positive due to what we learnt and the mindset we had after attending the group course. My husband was sceptical at first and not sure what to expect, after the first session we couldn’t stop talking about all the information we had learnt and the way we already felt so much more informed. As a result of attending the course we felt completely informed, excited and empowered. My husband felt he knew enough to support me and I felt confident he could advocate on my behalf and support me through birth. We also felt in control of our birth and confident we could use the techniques learnt in any birth situation we found ourselves in. We had the most incredible birth, following induction I was able to use the birthing pool with no pain relief (something I could only have dreamt of) and I’m so grateful for everything that attending the course enabled us to achieve. Thank you so much Rhian. Ellis and Declan and baby Reeve

  My wife and I took this course together while expecting our second child. We both found Rhian to be a calming influence and her sessions were a great mix of information, practice and open discussions. The birth of our first child was not a negative experience but we both felt much better prepared the second time round having done this course. My wife was able to use all of the techniques in the final weeks and during the labour itself which undoubtedly helped things progress smoothly. As a birth partner the course enabled me to better understand my role and how I could best support my wife through this. I felt a much more integral part of the birth as a result. We would both absolutely recommend this course to expectant parents, it was more than worth every penny. Thanks Rhian for supporting us in having such a positive experience.

  We loved little dots! After having had a difficult and anxiety filled first labour and delivery we wanted to try hypnobirthing and I’m so happy we chose Rhian and little dots! Now heading into our second labour and delivery we feel prepared with a toolbox full of things we will do to make this a very different labour and delivery. Would HIGHLY recommend to any expectant parents!

  Rhian at Little Dots Hypnobirthing was absolutely amazing! She has a wonderful nature which is very reassuring and she was very informative and calm in her approach! My husband and I feel very prepared and ready to give birth in 11 weeks and will be using all strategies and techniques that we learnt over the duration of the course. Money very well spent and Rhian’s services and advice go beyond the course and the pregnancy! I would definitely recommend Rhian, she is an inspiration! 💗

  If I could give 10 out of 5 I 100% would. I booked a 1:1 course quite early on in my pregnancy because I knew I wanted to hypnobirth and after Googling for a morning I contacted Rhian. She was very efficient and friendly in her response and we soon had our dates sorted. My husband travels for work and Rhian was extremely flexible around our dates. Our first session with Rhian cemented that we 100% had booked onto the right course. It felt like we had an instant connection with Rhian’s openness and friendliness. Whilst there was content which obviously she wanted to cover as part of the course, no question or topic of conversation was ever too much and we were never rushed through our session to finish. I was unsure at first of having zoom sessions but it honestly felt like she was right there in the room with us. The course was informative on labour without being a biology lesson and there was a good balance of slides and conversation to supplement the course content. My husband loved the sessions after being slightly sceptical at first! Having also done NCT, I now would 100% pick Rhian’s course over this in terms of content, flexibility and “realness”. I had an absolutely incredible birth at Bluebell birth centre in Warwick with no pain relief and used the breathing techniques I’d learnt as well as listening to the MP3s multiple times a week in the lead up to the birth. Rhian prepared us to go in with a positive attitude no matter what the situation was and made us feel as though we had control over what would happen even if it wasn’t in our preferred setting. I have also had a session post-natally with Rhian after struggling with huge anxieties at having a tiny human and it was better than any conversation with a GP who just wanted to throw anti depressants straight at me even though I wasn’t depressed and just had the very normal new mum anxiety. I feel like I’ve made a friend in Rhian and would recommend her to anyone looking to build their confidence about labour and learn to relax and stay calm. Thank you Rhian.

  I had two refresher sessions with Rhian leading up to my third labour after having a positive hypnobirthing experience with my second child a few years ago. I could not recommend Rhian enough, she completely tailored our one to one sessions to us and concentrated on the areas I felt like I had forgotten or was less comfortable with. She is really friendly and approachable and me and my husband felt very comfortable discussing all areas of labour with her. It is so beneficial to learn what your body is doing during labour and the techniques you can use to stay in control and ultimately help your body do what it is designed to do. After our sessions I am really looking forward to my upcoming birth and feel like I have all the tools I require to make it a positive experience even if it doesn't go according to my birth plan. Thanks Rhian x

  Rhian is absolutely amazing!! If you're looking for a hypnobirthing course that goes the extra mile then this is the one. Rhian is fantastic at her job, very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and goes the extra mile with any concerns or questions. Both myself and my partner looked forward to every session and were not dissapointed. We now have a wide range of tools ready for birth. Rhian is genuinely passionate and excited about her work and that shines through. I cannot reccomend enough. Rhian does 1 2 1 and group courses with a lovely taster session beforehand so you get the feel of what to expect. Loved it. Thank you so much ❤️
