“After discovering hypnobirthing during my first pregnancy, I experienced first hand how powerful it could be. Even though my birth didn’t go perfectly to plan, I came away feeling calm, empowered, and deeply grateful for the tools that had guided me through it. Over the years that followed, I found myself wanting to share that same sense of confidence and trust with others, but I didn’t quite know how to take that next step. Then one day it clicked! I could become a hypnobirthing instructor myself.
While searching online, I came across The Calm Birth School. As soon as I read through the values and approach, I knew it was exactly what I had been looking for. Nothing else I’d seen came close. Liz offered a “quick chat” to explain how everything worked, and what was meant to be a short call turned into an hour long conversation, and by the end, I was signed up and ready to go!
At the time, I had a five week old baby and was breastfeeding while studying, but the course fit perfectly into my maternity leave and family life. I loved how flexible and supportive it was. The in person weekend was an absolute highlight for me. It was such a joy to meet other amazing women all on their own journeys to empower birthing people through education and calm. We learned from each other, became cheerleaders for one another, and have continued to stay connected and supportive as our businesses grow.
I still remember my first case study with so much fondness. Watching their confidence and connection grow each week was an incredible experience, and I left every session absolutely buzzing. My first paying client who didn’t already know me felt like such a milestone moment, and that feeling of fulfilment hasn’t changed as I still get that same buzz after every class.
Since qualifying, I’ve expanded my skills by training in baby massage and am currently studying to become a Mindful Breastfeeding Practitioner, so I can continue supporting families postnatally. I’ve also recently launched Seasonal Nurture Sessions (gentle, welcoming gatherings designed to give new parents a safe space to connect, relax, and be supported as they navigate early parenthood.) It’s such an honour to walk alongside people during such a transformative time in their lives.
Liz has been an incredible tutor and mentor. Always encouraging, kind, and inspiring. I’ll always be grateful to The Calm Birth School for not only teaching me how to guide others, but also for setting me on a path that feels so true to who I am. My business is still young, but it’s growing beautifully, and I’m so excited to see where it goes next”.
