Cognisant Birth

We did Karianne’s hypnobirthing course ahead of the birth of our second child. We were both quite sceptical (especially my husband!) but after a difficult first birth experience we were willing to give it a try. After the first session with Karianne I felt my anxiety and worry about giving birth again start to go. I never thought I would look forward to giving birth or that I would be able to have a positive birth experience. After ever session my husband and I felt more excited and knowledge...

We both enjoyed and learnt so much from working with Karianne at our private hypnobirthing course.

I’d recommend hypnobirthing to all parents, everyone I know who has completed the course has a positive outlook to birth and positive experiences during labour. Karianne is a great teacher and so passionate about hypnobirthing. She also runs local parents supper ...
