Hypno-WHAT?! Modern Hypnobirthing with Claire.

First 6 episodes were a fantastic primer and introduction to hypnobirthing for my partner and me. Claire’s lovely accent and calming tone accompanied me on many late-pregnancy walks and even into the birthing room with her recorded affirmations. Claire’s coaching helped me create a birthing experience I’m so proud of.

I just had my baby about 2 weeks ago and I’ve been listening to this podcast for the last couple of months. Claire really helped me to center my breathing more productively and to set my expectations for my birth experience. I struggled with how my last birth went and although this time it went more according to “plan” and I was able to have an unmedicated birth, I felt more confident that even if that didn’t happen I would find ways to feel empowered through whatever birth experience I would have and that was so reassuring. As a mental health therapist that works with the perinatal population, I would also recommend this podcast for any of my clients hoping to better prepare for their birth experience.

This podcast is amazing. I’ve really struggled to connect with the classic Hypnobirthing book, but still felt like there was something useful to be gained from the concepts behind it. Claire does an AMAZING job of grounding hypnobirthing principles in modern realities and make the whole thing a lot less “woo woo.” I feel so much more prepared for birth listening to her episodes. I can’t recommend it enough. Also I’m American and I still find like 95% of the content relevant to me. So for my fellow Americans, give this a go!

Claire’s approach to finding a positive outlook no matter how the birth goes is so reassuring. The knowledge she provides over this podcast is helpful in learning your options so that you as a mother and father can make informed decisions that are right for you and your baby. She fuels you with excitement for your birth. Her accent is delightful and just an added bonus!
