Daniella Dean | Doula & Hypnobirthing

Sharing this after having attending Daniellas hypnobirthing course and then having a home birth :)I birthed my son at home, just me and my partner for the majority of the labour. I had Daniellas tracks in the background and my partner created a very relaxed and supporting homely environment, I used the breathing techniques Daniella showed us to breathe through the contractions and felt very safe in understanding the process of birth after Daniella talked us through it all at the hypnobirthing course. I particularly focused on Daniella’s tracks and guided meditation whilst I was having stitches afterwards and it really helped me to feel comforted and grounded through that process.My baby was born 2 weeks early, just a week and a half after being at the hypnobirthing course and I realised that attending that had made me feel much more ready and prepared for birth, which reduced feelings of panic when I went into labour sooner then I had anticipated (first baby and everyone told me he’d be late and the labour slow!!).Thanks Daniella for your invaluable support and wisdom :)

I cannot recommend Daniella enough. Her calm and nurturing manner is exactly what is needed as a brand new mum in the early days. I had a very difficult breastfeeding experience and Daniella provided so much valuable help and emotional support, as well as undertaking practical tasks and cooking delicious meals.

I don’t know how to put into words how much Daniella has had an impact on my birth experience. She is incredible. We did the weekend Hypnobirthing course with her and had her support us as a Doula. She guided and supported me to connect with my inner mammal and empowered me to have the most sacred, incredible pregnancy and childbirth i could have imagined. I simply NEED her there for my next birth!

I can’t sing Danielle’s praises any louder.She was with me every step of the way.Both my partner and I felt fully supported. She was personal and professional. Always calm and gentle.It felt incredibly empowering having her by side through out my journey.It can be a really scary time but she helped me find my inner strength.After my pregnancy and birth I felt positive and empowered and I Daniella to thank for that.Xxx

We've just finished the incredible hypnobirthing course with Daniella - I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a 'positive birth experience', whatever that may look or feel like for you. This course will empower you to take ownership of your birth. Daniella demystifies the entire birthing process, making it clear the choices and rights you have. At the centre of this is the fundamental belief that women should have the right to know their options, and the consequences of those decisions, whatever your birth preferences may be. As a birth partner I found this course extremely useful. It was re-assuring, relaxing and full of practical positive tips to support each other. Thank you for helping me be the supporting anchor to my partner in the journey she wishes to take.

Daniella’s course was fantastic. She is so knowledgeable, supportive and kind. We learnt so many useful tools on the course and left feeling much more prepared for labour. Daniella also created a really safe space and we met some lovely people! Highly recommend Daniella and her hypnobirthing course!

My husband and I did Daniella’s hypnobirthing course in November 2023 and found it extremely empowering and worthwhile. Daniella structured the two days with the right mix of interactive and reflective activities, in addition to more open discussion. Daniella brought a wealth of experience to the course, both as a doula and as a mother herself. This, we felt, was invaluable as new parents to be! Daniella informed us of what we should expect/what our choices were from our chosen maternity provider in Bristol.On a personal level, Daniella provided us with much support and guidance, outside of the course weekend, when we were faced with a few complications in pregnancy. I would recommend Daniellas hypnobirthing course to anyone expecting their first child (like us!).

My partner and I recently attended Daniella's hypnobirthing course. I came away feeling a lot calmer, more informed, and more confident about the upcoming birth of our first child. I also left the course with an even greater appreciation of the power of nature, the strength of women, and the miraculous process of childbirth.The course content was an interesting and highly-relevant mix of lived experience, science, and spirituality. Daniella is very knowledgeable and her delivery style was engaging.It was also brilliant to meet a group of local mothers and fathers-to-be. We've agreed to keep in touch as we go on this wild ride together.I would heartily recommend this course for mothers-to-be and their birth partners. I now know what to expect from childbirth, and I've learned some ways in which I can support my partner and myself before, during, and after our child is born.Thanks Daniella!

We worked with Daniella for the birth of our first baby at the end of last year. It was an invaluable experience for both me and my partner and we would definitely do it all again with her if we had the choice. Having Daniella there through the last few months of pregnancy was a great support and then when my baby was 2 and a half weeks over due she was incredible at reassuring me everyday. Over the course of our labour she was such an amazing presence, helping us to navigate the different choices and options we had to make.I would recommend Daniella's Doula and hypnobirhting service to anyone who wants to enjoy each moment of pregnancy and birth, however and wherever you choose to do it.

Daniella supported us pre- and post- the birth of our daughter (who is now 2!). We benefitted hugely from her support with birth choices and postnatally with some vital support in those early days. She was a kind, levelling, confident presence who validated me a lot in my choices in the early postnatal days. Thank you so much Daniella! Xx
