Testimonials

A few of many experiences with HypnoBirthing or Elisabeth’s doula work.

I can recommend the HypnoBirthing class to all pregnant couples. It is an eyeopener to both the pregnant woman and her partner. I know that people consider it to be 'normal' that a delivery hurts. Besides that, there are many experiences which support that view. Nonetheless, there is another way. By using the HypnoBirthing techniques (such as meditation, visualisation, breathing (No puffing!), massage, language and focus, it is possible to have a relatively painfree birth and a wonderful birthing experience (nb our experience).
Elisabeth teaches the HypnoBirthing class with a lot of attention, knowledge and wisdom. She acquints you with all the techniques in such a way, that in the midst of everything, it is still possible to remember and apply the appropriate techniques. Especially the surfing was a great experience!  (Maarten, Costa Rica)

HypnoBirthing works! (Maria, Amsterdam)

My midwife told her collegues that if she had a say in it, all pregnant women should take the HypnoBirthing class. (Anneroos, Stolwijk)

The HypnoBirthing course was fab for my delivery. I focused on the breathing and not to all the distractions around me! It was a smooth birth with text book dilation and surges. I really think that the course helped me through it and I had the cd playing the whole time!! (Suzanne, Amsterdam)

I really enjoyed the course. Elisabeth did a great job. I most enjoyed the stories she told us from her experience and other birthing stories, when she spoke from her heart. The HypnoBirthing course helped me to relax and trust my body. Therefore my labor was shortened from 16 hrs (first child) to 4 hrs (second child). (Viola, Amersfoort)

Throughout the entire birth you were besides us with love, support & tenacity caring for us and guiding us & believing that all would be well. We are so thankful for your wonderful spirit, your commitment and hard work. Our little girl is a miracle and a wonderful gift. (Emma & Wim, Den Bosch)

Against all expectations of the medical staff our son (lying in breach position) was born the natural way and without any complications within 7 hours. My first thought was: “ piece of cake, I can easily do this again”. Thanks for your involvement and a super course. (Evelien, Utrecht)

Your course was absolutely amazing. We told anyone who would listen about the classes (note: rave reviews from a conservatively trained doctor!). The relaxation exercises, breathing, massages and reading HypnoBirthing testimonials kept us positive and busy for the weeks up until the birth. I am 100% certain that HypnoBirthing was what allowed me to have such a gentle, amazing and deeply moving birth. I have a great respect for what my body is capable of and the love I feel for my husband because we shared this experience grew to new proportions. Best of all, we got an amazing daughter out of the deal! (Lisa, Almere)

I was in a store when a noticed that the birth was beginning. When I returned home, I thought a had to go to the toilet. At the toilet I noticed that I was already pushing my daughter out. I didn´t dare to go further. I wanted to wait until the midwife came. I went in to the bath. When the midwife arrived she told me to follow my body and I did. 10 minutes later our daughter was born. I myself took her out of me. Slowly we let her get used to more space en we brought her head above the water. We stayed in bath for more than a hour. We were celebrating there!!! (Loes, Utrecht)
