This time I felt genuinely useful. I could really help.

When my wife first told me that she was interested in Hypnobirthing my first reaction was, “Why do we need to do that? It sounds a bit silly,” and really not for me. We had had children before and not needed this.

After agreeing to it and listening to my wife explain in a bit more detail why she wanted to take part in the course, I understood it more.

When we met Nancy for the first time she could not have been more friendly and certainly put any doubts I had to bed, and I really got engrossed in the course itself.

Straight away I could see the benefits that it was going to have for our labour and pregnancy. My wife and I worked at these, and I can honestly say that the techniques we learnt really made my wife relax more and definitely feel more in control of the labour itself.

As a man who has had a baby before, this time I felt a lot more useful and I could really help my wife get into her hypno bubble using all the techniques that I had learnt.

The labour went smoothly, and my wife was very much in control of the situation. I felt like I had contributed well and really helped in the whole labour.

For anyone that is, like me, a bit sceptical then PLEASE get over those first initial thoughts and enrol in the course. Nancy is a fantastic teacher and I can’t recommend her enough.
