what our clients say...

Ditch the NCT and take hypnobirth course instead!

Catherine’s hypnobirth course was exactly what I needed to feel prepared and empowered for my first birth experience. I had been searching for tools that went beyond the “tick-box” approach of NCT, and Catherine delivered in such a thoughtful, personalised, and caring way. Every session felt carefully curated, designed with me and my birth partner in mind, rather than a generic checklist.

What I especially want to share is that hypnobirth is not just for vaginal births. I ended up having a C-section, and thanks to the tips and techniques Catherine taught me, I felt so much calmer and more in control in what could have been an overwhelming situation. The uncertainty felt less daunting because I had the strategies to ground myself and find calm.

And it wasn’t just me who benefited! My husband really leaned on the breathing techniques we practised together, and that gave me so much reassurance — I was able to emotionally anchor to him in those key moments, which made such a difference to how relaxed and supported I felt.

I honestly cannot thank Catherine enough for her wise words, her compassion, and the confidence she gave me. If you’re looking for a truly positive and empowering birth experience, no matter what path your birth might take, I wholeheartedly encourage you to book a session with Catherine. She is simply wonderful. 

 I’m so grateful to have taken a hypnobirthing course with Cat just a few weeks before welcoming my third son. Thanks to the breathing techniques, relaxation exercises, and affirmations she taught me—as well as understanding how to create a calm environment and the importance of my partner’s role—I finally experienced the water birth I had always dreamed of. I felt calm, confident, and empowered throughout my labour.

I’ll be forever thankful for our sessions, Cat. I honestly can’t thank you enough! 

Can’t thank Nurtured Birth and Catherine enough for guiding me through hypnobirthing for my beautiful home birth.

With the relaxation techniques and breathing exercises she taught me, I gave birth peacefully yet powerfully at home, without any interventions or pain medication.

I can honestly say my birthing experience was the best moment of my life, and it makes me feel sad that not all women get to experience birth in this way.

If it hadn’t been for Catherine's classes, I wouldn’t have had the tools or know what to expect giving birth without any assistance, so thank you from the bottom of all our hearts!
