Hollie de Cruz also runs courses as well as shorter workshops. www.londonhypnobirthing.co.uk - sessions run just off Lordship Lane. I went to one of the condensed afternoon sessions and it was lovely. Really logical on one hand but so relaxing and gave me a great deal of confidence. Also lots of exercises to do together with birth partners including lovely relaxation techniques and Mp3s. Good luck!

Hi all


After reading your reviews, I am also thinking of doing Hollie de Cruz's courses but can't decide if I should do the full course or the workshop. She seems to run the full courses only during the week which is a bit of a problem for us and I would love to hear your thoughts after having done either?


Many thanks!

We saw Hollie and she was fab - we failed to get organised in time to join one of the courses so had a private course just me and my husband over two days at the weekend and it was great - made a massive difference to my labour and the birth experience overall for both of us - even when there were complications. Big recommendation from me.
Could not speak more highly of Hollie at London Hypnobirthing and her course - she's fantastic, I think Hypnobirthing is such a positive thing to do, helps you feel very relaxed and prepared, and it all makes so much sense. Great course for both me and my husband, and I have no doubt that it helped our birth experience hugely, I went from feeling pretty nervous about birth to feeling calm, confident and looking forward to it - she prepares you really well, and in such a positive way.

Hi,


I am doing one with Lizzie as they are run on a weekend which is much more manageable for us with work! Also I have been recommended Lizzie by several people.


Sorry to hitchike on to your thread but does anyone know when may be good to do hypnobirhing course. Should we be doing it as early as possible or is around around 25 weeks OK. Thanks ks!


Worried about doing it too early in case I forget the techniques

I used Zoe last year for my first baby. She was really good, changed my whole outlook on the labor and made my whole pregnancy feel so relaxed having had that perpetration. Def reccomend to any expectant mums. Made me feel like I was in control of my labor which went really well thanks to Zoe's help. Classwise, she's really flexible and so lovely. We did a group class and are still in touch with the parents we met there.

Thanks so much for the kind words lovely people - it's a pleasure to work with expectant parents and I genuinely love what I do.


Just to clarify, I've been teaching in the area since 2011 and have had to reschedule 4 classes in that entire time due to illness of either myself or my son. It's obviously not ideal, but anyone juggling work and parenthood knows that unfortunately these rare occasions are inevitable. I have recently moved my classes to weekdays rather than evenings and weekends, purely because I made the personal decision that I want to spend more time with my family, especially now that my little boy is at school. I appreciate that this won't work for some people, but do remember that you're fully entitled to paid time off work for antenatal education https://www.gov.uk/working-when-pregnant-your-rights and since running these daytime classes I've found that lots of couples are more energized and engaged having not been at work all day, and are also quite pleased to get to spend time focusing on their pregnancy together during the week.


You can find out more about my classes at http://www.londonhypnobirthing.co.uk or pop over and say hi on Instagram @theyesmmummum


I have a Hypnobirthing Essentials Workshop running next Monday (18th April) from 9.30am-1.30pm in East Dulwich, which there are a couple of spots left on. This also includes a lovely goody bag full of mama treats :) If you'd like to attend, you can book your ticket here: http://buytickets.at/londonhypnobirthing/48738


With lots of good vibes for the rest of your pregnancies, and beyond.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
