    Mary-Anne’s hypnobirthing course is absolutely brilliant. 100% recommend!

    If you are feeling at all anxious about birth, I would highly recommend the two day Hypnobirthing course. Mary-Anne takes a topic that can feel intimidating and makes it accessible and fun whilst still managing to cram a ton of information in. Although i'd read a few books around hypnobirthing beforehand, I can't emphasise enough how much more impactful and powerful it is to be in a room with someone for two days learning about it. Mary-Ann has such relevant expertise in the area as well as life experience and I found being able to ask her questions and check my understanding along the way very reassuring. After the course, I felt so much more able to take a clear view on my preferences for birth (as well as the back up options) and well equipped to be assertive and confident about the choices I was making. It's also a really good way for your birthing partner to feel empowered to come on the journey with you. My partner really enjoyed the experience and said it made him feel so much more confident in the role he could play.

    We attended Mary- Anne’s hypnobirthing classes and am so glad that I did! I went in with very little knowledge but found It extremely useful as it provided us with plenty of useful tips and things to go away and consider with our birth plan. The course itself was enjoyable & emotional! We met some other couples & I felt very comfortable asking questions! Would definitely recommend. Thank you Mary- Anne! 😊

    Mary-Anne has been the most incredible teacher and support throughout our hypnobirthing and antenatal course. Myself and my husband were a little sad when finishing our last session as we enjoyed them so much however, we left feeling extremely excited to meet our new addition and we are very much looking forward to the birth itself. Going back to before the course I had done a lot of research and reading around hypnobirthing and positive birthing but this course really solidified the practice and teachings as well as provide us with the confidence for birth and post birth that we were lacking. I couldn’t recommend Mary-Anne and Mummapod enough, to anyone that is thinking about it please take the leap and sign up, you will not regret it. The thought of looking towards birth and being excited may seem unrealistic to some but it is absolutely how you can feel once being provided with all of the tools you need to feel in control, empowered, informed and understood which is what you will gain during your time with Mary-Anne.

    I would highly recommend Mary -Anne’s hypnobirthing course, it was extremely informative and positive and taught us about all aspects of birth in a hospital or at home. We really learnt so much and we left feeling very empowered about our choices and also what to expect during labour and how to make it a positive experience even in light of any complexities. Mary - Anne was approachable which made asking question’s easy, Mary -Anne is also available after the course to answer questions and give advice when needed which makes the course even more worth while. Thank you for such a brilliant few days. Beth & Ricky.

    I was lucky enough to attend one of the MummaPod 'Intro to Hypnobirthing' courses as a student midwife. It was so engaging, a true eye-opener and has really helped me to block out some of the noise during midwifery training and made me focus on the type of midwife I want to become. Mary Anne is a completely brilliant teacher, and guide, for all things birth and I have absorbed so many little gems from her. I highly recommend taking the chance, as a student midwife, to join one of her courses!

    As a student midwife, I wanted to immerse myself and gain better understanding of hypnobirthing, with all the incredible benefits it can bring to women and birthing people, in all aspects of their pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey. I found it quite hard to find courses affordable and suitable for student midwives. I was lucky enough to have trained with Mary-Anne for a short while, and so when I heard she was facilitating a hypnobirthing session specifically for STMWs, and because I knew her friendly face, it felt much more personal. Mary-Anne was absolutely brilliant leading the session, it was extremely informative and full of ideas for us to take with us on our journey to becoming future Midwives. She was completely her natural self, down to earth and had the humour to match. I’d absolutely consider doing it again potentially as a refresher too! Thanks so much!
