Calm Mama Collective - Antenatal, Hypnobirthing and Breastfeeding Classes

We attended hypnobirthing course with Emma during summer 2021, we now have 14 months old daughter. Both my partner and myself enjoyed course with Emma and will wholeheartedly recommend to future moms and dads to attend. Cource is practical, full or actionable advise and practices to help in birth preparations and cope with the process. Documentation and meditations provided help a lot to re-focus on techniques on your own and give solid base for action.

I absolutely recommend hypnobirthing with Emma. It's the best thing I did to prepare for birth. I had a fear of birth and Emma's course enabled me to feel informed, and changed my mindset to be positive and less fearful. I gave birth a few weeks ago, and I used the hypnobirthing techniques to labour naturally. I have no doubt that without it, I would have needed interventions during labour.I also did another antenatal course that was nowhere near as good as Emma's. Emma is welcoming, down-to-earth and no question is a silly one. The small group size compared to other antenatal courses meant we got to know the other 2 couples over the duration of the course and are still in touch now.If you are considering taking this course with Emma, then definitely do it!

I had a 3 hour workshop with Emma this morning which was absolutely fantastic! So informative and lots of tools and handouts to help with the process of birth and after.Would highly recommend :)

My partner and I recently undertook a hypnobirthing course with Emma Thurssell at Calm Mama Collective and would just like to say how fantastic she was and how informed we now feel.Being our first baby, we really didn't have any knowledge on what the birth process involves, but we came away feeling so relaxed and excited about the process. My partner and I went into the final part of pregnancy excited and armed with the right tools and techniques all thanks to the course.Emma is very knowledgeable, professional and answered all our questions thoroughly.Thank you so much for providing us with the hypnobirthing course and your knowledge, I am unsure if the birth would have been so positive without it!We would recommend Emma highly and want to thank her for all her help.

Just completed the most wonderful hypnobirthing course! Emma is very knowledgeable and the course is taught in a way which takes you from fear about giving birth to excitement. I looked forward to the course every week and now so sad it's over, but feeling ready to put all the plans in place to meet our little one!

Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hypnobirthing sessions with Emma and our small group. Really informative and supportive, we left feeling ready and excited for birth!

Hypnobirthing with Emma was the best thing I could have done. I feel so positive and empowered about giving birth, any worries or fears have subsided. It was also great to know all the information about many birth options and to have support to help with decision making should plans need to change in the moment. It was practical advice, extremely informative and Emma is the most supportive person. It was great for birth partners as well and we feel confident as a team to make decisions and have a positive experience.

I took the hypnobirth class with Emma and I’m so glad I did. She was very supportive and knowledgeable, and she taught me how to relax and cope with the pain of labor. Even though I ended up having a c-section, the class was very helpful and the breathing techniques were a lifesaver during contractions. I would highly recommend Emma’s hypnobirth class to anyone who wants to have a positive and empowering birth experience.

I cannot recommend this course highly enough. I was very nervous about giving a birth to my first baby, but this course helped me to overcome anxiety. Technics learned during this course helped me to relax and stay calm during the birth. I gave birth to my baby girl in a birthing pool using gas and air as a pain killer, exactly the way I planned, and surprising it was quite positive experience. I know that it was both preparation and luck, because things might go not according to plan, but I still think it is important to know what the alternatives are and what to expect, and this cause helped me to prepare.
