PARENT EXPERIENCES
What Parents Are Saying
Real experiences from parents who have prepared for birth with Auckland Hypnobirthing, in person and online.
Different parents arrive with different fears, questions and expectations. What matters most is leaving with practical tools, greater confidence and a clearer sense of what you can do when labour begins.
I feel like I have more understanding of hypnobirthing not necessarily guaranteeing the birth I want, but being able to use the practical toolkit to manage whatever situation comes my way - during labour, birth and life!
FEELING MORE CONFIDENT ABOUT BIRTH
From uncertainty to feeling ready
The best thing my husband and I could have done in preparation for the birth of our first child. Walked away feeling calm, confident and excited by the prospect of birth!
I'm excited about birthing my baby now!! I feel like I can cope with whatever might happen, and that my partner feels calmer and better equipped to support me.
Claire was awesome! - made me and my partner feel so much less fearful about birth and gave us coping mechanisms to work thru it!
PRACTICAL TOOLS FOR BIRTH
More than just information
Really informative, well structured and practical. Would recommend!
There was just enough information so I never felt overwhelmed with how much there is to learn / practise. Claire was amazing at creating an open environment and ensuring that all participants, including partners were engaged.
It was such a relaxing, positive experience - I felt like jelly afterwards! The course helped me to change my mindset around birth & has given me some practical tools to use. Highly recommend it.
FOR BIRTH PARTNERS
Knowing how to support, not just stand by
Highly recommend doing Claire's course, lots of really helpful information and tools for both mum's and dads on how to best prepare for a calm, relaxed birth.
My partner and I were sceptical about what Hypnobirthing classes actually entailed, but that was before we did our research and discovered how practical and sensical the whole approach is. We learnt some great skills to empower us in the birthing process and it really made my partner aware of his important part in the process. I feel so much more confident now.

NOT SURE IF HYPNOBIRTHING IS FOR YOU?
You don't have to be a certain kind of person
Hubby was a bit worried it would be all kooky! I, being medically trained, was worried it might be anti-doctor / anti-medicine. Neither turned out to be true!
The course was definitely worth doing. Even my husband who was not overly looking forward to it being almost a full day left saying how glad he was that we actually did it.
WHATEVER BIRTH BRINGS
Confidence isn't about controlling the outcome
I'm not sure how the labour is going to go, but I am not worried about any of the options... whether we have a shorter labour, a longer one, or one that needs assistance.
Did the online course and I felt very calm and at ease throughout my birth. It totally didn't go to plan but whenever a stressful situation came up I just remembered Claire's meditations and felt fine.
LEARNING ONLINE
Prepare in your own time
I did Claire’s online course, she helped teach me tools to ensure I had a positive birth that left me feeling empowered and very proud of myself. Thanks for the teachings and education. It was very useful.
FOR SECOND AND THIRD-TIME PARENTS
Every birth deserves its own preparation
After the hypnobirthing course with Claire, my husband and I feel really aligned as a birth team to enter the birth of our 3rd baby!
We really enjoyed the classes, Claire was very supportive, she genuinely cared about our birthing experience and how HypnoBirthing can give you the tools to have a calm & peaceful birth. We can't wait to experience this and welcome our baby into the world!
