Here’s what some of my previous clients have said about the She Bears hypnobirthing course.
My husband and I are so glad we signed up for the hypnobirthing course with Anastasia. We have learned so much and gained confidence ahead of the birth of our first child. The sessions are fun and highly informative, and completely worth the investment. We highly recommend working with She Bears!

Learning the physiological process of labour and the various interventions that can come along with them has been very helpful. I think this has given me the confidence to engage with caregiving professionals at the hospital, advocating for my wife. There is a good balance of verbal deliver and interactive tasks. Topics are delivered at a good level of detail with strong analogies cementing our understanding.

We were both really impressed by the delivery of the course. The activities were varied and engaging, and you designed the sessions to help us remember the content of the course. I felt like we covered a lot in a short amount of time, but didn’t feel overloaded with information. We appreciated the use of the scientific literature to support the theories you presented.
The material for us to take home was really useful. Nicely designed and informative, with useful activities to work through. And, of course the hypnosis tracks – we were really impressed with how well you’re able to do these and how relaxing we find them.
Thank you for such interesting and engaging sessions! We had a lot of fun, and really appreciate the time and effort you put into the course. I’ve already recommended you to other people (especially those that are fearful of labour), as I think this can really benefit anyone who wants to learn to approach the birth of their child with excitement. Before I did the taster day, I had been concerned that hypnobirthing was not for me. But you approached the content with an open-minded attitude that is grounded in evidence and context, but also adapted to the needs of the course participants

What a thorough, held, thoughtful space you created for me and my birthing partner. I learnt such an enormous amount, and while of course pregnancy and the prospect of giving birth is daunting, you put us at our ease, with humour, gentleness, empathy and a bespoke kindness. You’ve extended a sense of kinship I hadn’t foreseen, going over and above what I had imagined the shape of the course would take.
Thank you for accommodating us too, out of hours, one-to-one, which was just what we needed. The pack you provided was highly informative and a taste of the wisdom you conveyed during the sessions. It is super useful to have the booklets to refer to up to birth and beyond. You’ve equipped us with calm, confidence and happiness, for which we’ll be forever grateful.
