Kind Words From Wonderful Clients….
“Samantha is extremely knowledgeable and generous with her advice and expertise! I came into the hypnobirthing weekend with anxiety around what to expect during labour and birth, but came out feeling empowered and confident in my body's ability to deliver a baby. She also fed us with delicious, nutrient rich foods during the day and was very patient answering everyone's questions. Highly recommend this course if you're looking to prepare yourself for birth! Thanks Sam!.”

“Absolutely fantastic course - thank you Sam! We left feeling so positive, excited and empowered - especially around the role of the partner and so many techniques we can use on the day. Completely changed our mindset and approach and we can't wait for the arrival of our boy. Can't recommend this course enough!.”

“I recently completed a hypnobirthing course with Samantha, and it was such a wonderful experience. She created a calm, supportive, and empowering environment. The tools and techniques she taught were incredibly practical and gave me real confidence as I prepared for birth - which went well! I’m so grateful for everything I learned—Samantha truly has a gift for guiding expectant parents through this journey & it really equipped both my partner and I. Highly recommend! Thanks Samantha.”

“My husband and I attended Samantha’s hypnobirthing class and it was the best thing we could have done. I’m grateful to say that I had a positive first birth experience and a lot of that is thanks to Samantha and her class. She gave my husband and I so much more knowledge about different forms of pain relief, medical terms and possible interventions that could arise and calming techniques which made us bettered prepared. Samantha and her class also gave us the confidence to not only advocate for ourselves and to help my husband be able to advocate for me whilst in labour but also release a lot of the fear that I had about giving birth.”

“We can't recommend North Shore Hypnobirthing enough! Samantha is incredibly knowledgeable and has such a down-to-earth approach to everything. As first-time parents, we were a bit anxious about the whole birthing process, but Samantha immediately put us at ease. She provided us with practical strategies and techniques for both labour and postpartum that gave us confidence and a sense of control. Her empathy and personable nature made us feel completely supported throughout the entire journey. We’re so grateful for her guidance and would recommend North Shore Hypnobirthing to anyone looking for a calming, informative, and truly supportive experience..”

“We absolutely loved our experience at North Shore Hypnobirthing with Samantha! The hypnobirthing course was incredibly detailed, covering both hypnobirthing techniques and what to expect in a hospital birth setting, leaving us feeling empowered and fully prepared. Samantha is warm, calm, knowledgeable, and approachable, creating a supportive environment both during and after the course. We felt truly supported throughout our journey and we can't thank Samantha enough for all her guidance and care. Highly recommend!”

“Due to covid restrictions, we had to do our course via zoom, however I am so happy I enrolled in this course. Both Samantha and Elle were fantastic. It was very interactive, the course is so informative and exceeded both mine and my partners expectations. We really enjoyed it. Thank you for all the information and of course the support. Highly recommended.”
— Roisin
“My partner and I are expecting our very first baby’s and were recommended to do this course by a number of people, including our doula. It was a fabulous experience for both of us. I can’t imagine what we would be doing without the knowledge and confidence we’ve gained. The techniques and resources are incredible. Sam & Elle gave us every opportunity to ask questions and share concerns. Despite having to be online due to Covid, we still got so much out of this course.”
— Meg
“Sam & Elle were so generous in sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience with us. My husband and I attended the course feeling apprehensive and nervous about birth. We left feeling excited and empowered. We greatly appreciated the assistance in creating our birth preferences and for being a sounding board as we navigated the birth of our first baby. Thank you ladies! X”

Highly recommend to all expectant mothers and their partners! I took the 2 day course in preparation for my second birth and my only regret was that i didn't do this earlier for my first birth. 'Hypnobirthing' sounds so ridiculously hippie but in reality really shifted my mindset from all the negative associations of labour (pain, fear, anxiety etc) to building my confidence in shaping a positive, calm & relaxing birth. The knowledge was eye-opening and the tips/lessons are all very practical exercises. So grateful to Sam & Elle for the workshop and their continued support beyond the classes - I am now looking forward to meeting my baby rather than dreading my labour :)

Sam and Elle are an experienced team (both doulas) and provided a very thorough, knowledgeable birth education in a relaxed, comfortable environment - we also had a lot of laughs. The tools they provided have certainly supported our birth and beyond.
— Michelle
Best investment so far in my pregnancy! Both Sam and Elle are clearly experts in their field and they are very passionate about not only hypnobirthing but ensuring that you fully understand your options when it comes to your birth so that you leave the course feeling empowered and knowledgeable - both of which I feel after doing the 2 day course. Comparing it to my hospital led course the hypnobirthing course wins hands down. We've already started practicing using the 'toolkit' that we learnt about and am feeling more confident each day. Thank you so much Sam and Elle!

We attended an in person hypnobirthing course in December when I was about 34 weeks pregnant (waited until we could do it in person rather than via Zoom). It was great timing as all the information came when I was most ready to absorb it, we learnt so much over the 2 weekends and really came away feeling informed and better prepared. The additional resources Samantha provided via email after the course were also useful as was the follow up call to go over my birth preferences/ plan. While I Haven’t yet had the baby to actually comment on how the techniques were used, I know we are in a better space both physically and mentally to take on the birth experience after doing the course! Couldn’t recommend it enough!
— Kyli
We attended in person in January when I was 30 weeks pregnant. I love Sam as a teacher as she’s both informative but also full of anecdotes and personal doula experience to add fabric to the content.
We got a lot of take aways and my husband in particular enjoyed some of the highly practical takeaways.
I’m now 34 weeks pregnant and feel a weight has been lifted, I’ve got things to practice, fantastic follow up content from Sam (who is also our Doula!) and as a couple we are feeling more confident and prepared.
I have and will continue to recommend this course x
— Eloise
Sam's hypnobirthing and doula experience has helped us greatly in our birth preparation, and should be considered an essential course for birth partners to help them prepare and support mums on the big day. She has helped build our birthing tool kit for the big day(s), but also helped us bond with baby in the weeks leading up to his birth. Thanks Sam!
— Steph
Before I did the Hypnobirth class through North shore Hypnobirthing I was anxious about birth and all that it comes with. After these sessions I feel empowered,informed,confident and equipped with the tools needed for a positive birth. Sam and Elle went above and beyond to answer questions, listened to my concerns. The course was very engaging!

My partner David and I chose to do the hypnobirthing course with Samantha due to her beautiful, warm approach, her invaluable knowledge and supportive attitudes and her extensive experience including her own 4 births. I discovered Sam early on in my pregnancy after doing lots of research into finding the right hypnobirthing instructor for us. Instantly from the first phone call I knew that we had to go with Sam, her calming and soothing tone along with her experience as a doula meant that she was familiar with many Sydney hospitals policies including the Royal Womens at Randwick, where we will be birthing our baby. David and I came away from the 2 day course feeling empowered, confident and excited about the upcoming birth of our baby. We feel much more confident and calm about our options and feel that together we now have the knowledge to make the best decisions for us. We would highly recommend Samantha and her team and can’t wait to share our birth story with Sam in about 6 weeks time! Thank you Sam, love from Lucinda and David (January 2021 intake) x
