Precious Bond Hypnobirthing

Lois's classes really helped my confidence in pregnancy and birth. She created a calming atmosphere and equipped us with lots of knowledge in the lead up to labour... So much is covered that I felt prepared for almost all eventualities. My labour wasnt smooth but with the use of techniques learned from Hypnobirthing alongside medical intervention i was happy with, I felt in control and confident in my body's ability. For a down to earth and friendly approach i would not hesitate to recommend Precious Bond and already have done to many friends!

This was a really excellent course and we gained so much from attending. I know that you can buy books on hypnobirthing but actually listening to Lois and being in the company of other expectant parents really brought it all to life. Lois is a lovely calming influence who delivered the course beautifully. I was quite anxious during pregnancy and feel that I really benefitted from meeting Lois and hearing what she had to say about hypnobirthing and the importance of having a voice and a choice during labour. In fact, I believe that I had the birth that I wanted because of what I gained from this course.

I can't recommend these classes enough! You learn so much about pregnancy and birth that you don't in other classes. It enables you to really look forward to and not be afraid of your birth. The techniques you learn for managing pain are so helpful and they kept me going through with just gas and air for the birth of my 8lb 14 baby girl. Lois is a wonderful teacher - so supportive, calming and knowledgeable. If you're not sure if you should do it, give it a go, you'll gain so much confidence for your birth. Thank you Lois.

We had a weekend's hypnobirthing course with Lois just before the birth of our first child, and it helped massively! We knew we wanted to have as natural a birth as possible, and everything Lois went through on the course helped with this: the meditations, the information, the confidence-building. In the end, the birth was as different from what we'd imagined as possible - my wife's waters broke without labour starting, so she was induced and eventually had a Caesarean birth. Needless to say, none of this was what we'd imagined when preparing, but hypnobirthing taught us that the most important thing is your attitude. We both stayed calm, used the breathing techniques and made sure we asked the right questions of the medical professionals around us. My wife was amazing, using the meditations and breathing throughout, and actually didn't need any pain relief before going in for the surgery. Although this experience could have been traumatising, we were in control throughout and knew why we'd made each decision. We now have a beautiful and happy baby boy! Thank you Lois.

We really enjoyed Lois's hypnobirthing course. Despite already having done NCT, we found the course so valuable and it has made us feel much more confident about birth and our options. The pack of information and goodies was a really nice touch too. We appreciated being able to meet in person in a really small group and felt that Lois took great care in making us feel safe despite Covid 19. Thank you, Lois.
