My husband and I attended Esther's classes and found them to be very informative. We weren't previously aware that we had "choices" and were able write a birth plan to enable the most natural labour possible. She helped me approach labour without fear and taught me the techniques of breathing amongst other things. I particularly found the session on breastfeeding useful, in which I learnt about skin to skin and the breast crawl. Amazing! And it worked. Our bub latched on herself when she was ready without interference. Without doubt giving birth was the hardest, most intense thing I have ever done, but I managed with just a little gas towards the end and arrived to the hospital fully dilated! Esther was very caring and supportive and passionate about hypnobirthing and I believe the course empowered me to ultimately have a wonderful birth experience without any real trauma. Thank-you!
