Perhaps you feel anxious, fearful, unsure and overwhelmed about your journey to parenthood? Maybe you are wondering do these programmes really help or is this a 'hippy' thing to do. The good news is it does help in many ways. Take a look around the website to see how my courses can help you. You will find parents positive journeys in my review section, showing how beneficial their tools and techniques were during their journey from bump to baby.
All courses are taught by an experienced HYPNOBIRHING MIDWIFE. The best time to commence the Hypnobirthing course is from 20 weeks pregnant. This gives you loads of time to practice and to enjoy during your pregnancy. However if you are later on in your pregnancy, don't be alarmed you can still participate and still greatly benefit from Hypnobirthing.
This programme is guided by an experienced midwife and is designed incorporating the 3 step rewind technique. It is done according to the individuals personal needs as well as focusing on the persons individual traumatic experience and how this is having an impact on their life.
In the programme a discussion will take place in confidence about what is going on in your life at present and how things have changed since experiencing your traumatic experience.You will learn relaxation, tools and techniques to help you manage symptoms of trauma in a safe and secure environment.

During your pregnancy. Your body naturally changes throughout pregnancy, physically, emotionally and psychologically. Reflexology through manipulation of the feet helps to cope with these many changes. It is safe, relaxing and a very enjoyable treatment during pregnancy to promote natural healing powers within your body, making you feel relaxed, confident and feeling well throughout your pregnancy.
Was so glad for all the techniques that I learnt from Beverley in her hypnobirthing class they were invaluable to me during pregnancy labour and after. I attended Beverly for a Hypnobirthing refresher session and left feeling at ease and ready to start practising Hypnobirthing again in preparation for the birth on my second little boy.

My husband and I both would highly recommend taking a hypnobirthing session with Beverley, even though this was our 3rd baby we learned so much about our options and choices that we didn't previously know and felt so much more informed and confident bringing our little lady into the world. Through the hypnobirthing practice at home it also gave my husband and I time to connect with each other (not always easy with 2 kids already) & we came to really value listening to our mp3s together in the evenings. Beverley was so warm and welcoming and creates a lovely relaxing environment every week during

I attended a hypnobirthing course with Beverley with my first baby and she was amazing worth every penny. I had such a wonderful birth experience and Beverley’s techniques helped me feel so relaxed. I am currently pregnant with baby number 2 and have been attending Beverley for reflexology every month and she is amazing at what she does.

Ryan and I attended Beverley’s hypnobirthing course and a refresher session the week before labour. The hypnobirthing course is a safe place to start to think and talk about labour. After the course I felt positive, ready and excited to meet my baby.
I was delighted when I went into a natural labour at 41 weeks. I am thankful to Beverley for giving me the confidence to decline sweeps and an early induction to labour. I believe her induction reflexology which I attended from 36 weeks, her coaching (keeping me calm and building my confidence), oxytocin and some walking helped me to go in to a

I would highly recommend Beverley’s Hypnobirthing programme to any expectant parents, both my husband & myself found it invaluable to help us deal with everything that pregnancy & birth threw our way!
Beverley was friendly & professional from our first phone call, right through all our classes & even after our baby’s birth; we immediately felt at… ease with her & able to ask any questions to get the most benefit from all the information she provided.

We attended a Hypnobirthing course with Beverly over two half days. Beverly was lovely and put us at ease straight away. This was our second baby, having had quite a traumatic birth first time around we wanted to do all we could to have a different experience with our 2nd baby. We learned a lot about the birthing options available to us, as well as the physical changes that happen when birthing your baby. Using the techniques Beverly taught us we practised relaxation and breathing from 30 weeks. This really helped me feel calm and even excited in the lead up to birthing my baby. My husband knew

My husband and I found this course invaluable. I had not realised how negative my view of labour was until we had our sessions with Beverley. As the course unfolded all my preconceptions changed and I no longer feared the idea of labour, instead I saw it as an experience through which I could remain calm and in control.
I became really interested in the natural approach to labour which hypnobirthing supports, following the course and further research I noted this in my birth plan. The birth wasn’t exactly how I expected my first labour to go, I was in active labour for 3 hours and because of

I was feeling a bit anxious on the run-up to our baby’s birth given all the horror birth stories you sometimes hear from people around you.
My husband and I signed up to the course with Beverley. We couldn’t have made a better choice. The course was super informative. However, I think the icing on the cake was how it was delivered. Beverly has a very soothing voice and pleasant manner that makes you feel relaxed and in control. I ended up with an emergency cesarean which was not part of my birth plan, but what I learned in the course helped me stay relaxed before, during and after the birth

I had to convince my partner to take the course with me, because initially he didn't even want to go into the delivery suite with me. As a first time mum during a pandemic I was very anxious at times and Beverley's advice and hypnobirthing techniques helped me so much to relax and become more confident. We learned a lot and the information provided was really useful. The actual birth was an incredible experience and everybody referred to us as a text book birth. We were very relaxed throughout the entire delivery. My partner became Beverley's greatest advocate, he went from not wanting to be at

From very early on in my pregnancy I had decided I wanted to do some sort of antinatal classes more than just the free ones offered by the NHS. Beverley being local to me and what she offered in the… Hynobirthing classes sounded perfect. Roll on myself and my partners first class with Beverley, she totally put us at ease. She even converted my partner as he wasn't really sure about he whole thing but by the end of class 1 he understood the benefits and how hypno birthing would help not only me through the birth but him too. During actual labour we used all the techniques which We had learnt

My partner and I attended Beverley's hypnobirthing course. I was a little anxious about labour with being a first time Mum not knowing what to expect. Beverley made us feel very at ease and by the end of the course we both felt very calm and relaxed and was looking forward to the birth of our little one. The techniques we learnt and practised from… the course really helped throughout labour. The midwives couldn't believe how good it was that we were in our own wee trance. I remained so calm and that was down to hypnobirthing. Really glad we done this course with this amazing lady. Beverley

Myself and my husband attended Beverley’s Hypnobirthing course, she was so friendly, professional and immediately put us at ease. The skills and knowledge we both gained from the sessions was invaluable and it helped me reframe pregnancy and thoughts of labour. This had such a positive impact on my birth experience and helped create a calm environment for the birth of my son.

Just a review to say I cannot recommend this lady enough I was very anxious going into my 2nd pregnancy and attended for reflexology weekly. Beverley was so helpful giving me pieces of advice to help me on my way. I had a really positive labour experience this time round and am thankful for all the help provided.

I went to Beverley for reflexology while pregnant, i suffered from restless legs during pregnancy and after one session with Beverley I noticed a big difference in my legs and found it easier to sleep at night. The reflexology was so relaxing and I really enjoyed it. I also had induction reflexology which defiantly helped get me ready for birth. I would highly recommend Beverley xx

I highly recommend Beverley, and The Wise Hippo Hypnobirthing programme, to any couple preparing for the birth of their baby. We completed the course in June 2019, prior to this I felt anxious and scared about labour. I can honestly say after attending her classes, I felt calm and relaxed about what was to come, in fact I was looking forward to… my birth experience! I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy in August 2019, using just Gas & Air, and the Birthing Pool. The techniques I learned during the Hypnobirthing course, I used throughout my labour. They helped me breathe my baby down

Was so glad for all the techniques that I learnt from Beverley in her hypnobirthing class they were invaluable to me during pregnancy labour and after. she is an amazing lady both super friendly and professional 😊. I really enjoyed my pregnancy and was able to labour at home and arrived at the hospital already 5 cm. Would also strongly recommend the pregnancy reflexology this was amazing for me with pelvic pain and was a must from week to week.
