  • Doing the HypnoBirthing course with Erika has been such a positive experience. Not only is Erika so passionate and knowledgeable, she also has the most friendly and caring nature, which makes her an exceptional teacher. HypnoBirthing is a fantastic course. It is very comprehensive, encompassing both the physical and emotional aspects of birth. As second time parents, we have been amazed by all the new things we have learnt. After each session with Erika, we felt better equipped and more empowered. She gave us the tools we needed to approach birth with excitement and confidence. Both my husband and I feel very privileged to have met her and had her guide us through this wonderful course. We would highly recommend the course to all expecting parents.

  • HypnoBirthing made a huge impact on my birth. During my time in the Birth Suite I could hear other women screaming as they birthed. However, I was able to calmly breathe through my birth and use my energy when I needed to. Despite the challenges after the birth, I didn't feel scared or uncertain, but instead I was aware of all my options and confident in what I was doing. Even the midwife who sat next to me in the room as I pushed commented on my breathing and could tell that I had done a HypnoBirthing course. I would highly recommend HypnoBirthing to all soon to be mums, especially first time mums! The timing of the course spread across 5 weeks ensured that there was plenty of space to practice between sessions. Erika was gentle and kind, and able to explain new concepts well and take us on the journey.

  • Erika is very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the personal touch and real life stories she brought to the course. My partner and I both feel calm, but excited for the birth of our first baby after the 5 week course. We now have a large toolkit of resources at our fingertips to use during labour/birth and postpartum and the confidence to advocate for ourselves to better influence our birth outcomes.

  • Rohan has said many times this was the best return on investment in the whole pregnancy as we got so much more information out of these classes than we have from all of our medical appointments!

    Jen & Rohan

  • We loved the private sessions in our home and we LOVED Erika!! While we felt well prepared before, the class gave us the added confidence to know that what we had been exploring in the lead up was aligned with the ethos of Hynobirthing. We loved the videos of positive and powerful births. This course is a brilliant way to educate and empower yourself and your partner. The paced 5 weeks was really wonderful.

    Kira & Luke

  • They HypnoBirthing course was amazing! I have recommended to multiple pregnant friends. We learnt so much, but really enjoyed learning about the breathing techniques and Justin being able to learn how to best support me.

    Chloe & Justin

  • This course has provided me tools to be confident in birthing and it has also brought me closer with my partner.

  • My partner and I completed Erika's HypnoBirthing course and thought it was one of the best purchases we made in preparation for our first child. Although admittedly we were a little sceptical about the concept of hypnosis at first, the course is so much more than that. It gave us a thorough understanding of what a physiological birth is and how my body was working throughout labour; it empowered us with the understanding of medical interventions in childbirth, and how to ensure we were prepared in a hospital setting to make the best decisions for us on the birth of our child; and, it gave us the opportunity to connect more deeply each week, including useful exercises that prepared us for parenthood together. The birth of our child ended up being everything I wanted it to be, and I attribute that to Erika and her course. My partner was able to advocate on my behalf on arrival at the hospital, and as a result, I had a water birth with no interventions or analgesics with a quick labour of under five hours. I couldn't recommend HypnoBirthing with Erika enough!

    Monica & Daniel

  • To say that the course helped me is an understatement! The midwives kept on saying that they could not believe that I was a first time mum. They were completely shocked at how quickly the whole process went and how calm I stayed (outwardly at least, I felt like I had lost it some points internally haha!). My midwife said that by the time I got to hospital, I was almost in the transition stage. She couldn't believe that as a first time mum I hadn't felt the need to call sooner even if it was just for a bit of guidance, but I just felt so calm and completely in control. So thank you so, so much! I will be recommending you to everyone around me.

  • This was my second birth and I’m very proud of how Raymond and I were able to work together as a team and to use everything you had taught us! I just wanted to say a big thank you, your knowledge made a world of difference to us and my birthing journey :)
