We hired Sam as our doula and hypnobirthing coach, and we truly cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she brought such warmth, kindness, and reassurance to our journey into parenthood, and we are so grateful we had her by our side. Initially, my partner was a little sceptical about both hypnobirthing and having a doula, but Sam took the time to really listen to us, understand what we both wanted, and tailor her support to suit us as individuals and as a team. By the end of our experience, we both felt that Sam’s guidance and presence throughout pregnancy and birth were absolutely invaluable. Every hypnobirthing session was informative, empowering, and practical. Sam helped us build confidence and learn techniques that became instrumental during what turned out to be a long labour. She was patient, compassionate, and supportive, and it genuinely felt like she became part of our team. Sam had empathy throughout, particularly as I was really scared of labour at first, and following a miscarriage earlier in the year. But she helped us overcome those worries, with guidance and evidence based reasoning which helped us enter the labour in a prepared and calm mindset. As our due date approached, she consistently went above and beyond — spending extra time answering questions, calming worries, and helping us feel prepared and supported. When I went into labour on Sunday evening, we were planning for a home birth. Sam came over in the early hours when things began to intensify and immediately brought a sense of calm to the environment. She supported us beautifully, worked seamlessly with the midwife team (who all spoke so highly of her afterwards), and allowed my husband to remain fully present by my side throughout. After many hours, as labour stalled, Sam stayed with us, offering unwavering encouragement and care far beyond what we ever expected. Eventually, after further advice from the midwives, we transferred to the birth centre. Labour continued slowly throughout Monday until things progressed again late that night. As soon as we called Sam again at 11pm, she came straight to the birth centre and stayed with us until a couple of hours after the birth of our baby girl on Tuesday afternoon when some minor medical activities were needed. Sam was with us, either in person or available via WhatsApp for the duration of the labour which was over 50 hours! Her support throughout the entire experience was incredible. From her calm guidance and reassurance, to advocating for us and helping us navigate decisions and communicate with the midwives, Sam made such a positive difference to our birth experience. During the birth centre advanced labour, she helped with changing my positions, breathing techniques, taking the lead so my husband could get some rest. Thanks in no small part to her support and the hypnobirthing techniques she taught us, I was able to achieve the water birth I had hoped for and feel positive and empowered despite the long labour journey. We will always be incredibly grateful for Sam’s care, dedication, and kindness. The support she gave us before, during, and after birth — including the post-birth debriefs — was thoughtful, informative, and reassuring. She helped us feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. A final testament to Sam, is that we are sure that after such a long early labour, if we did not have Sam and her support then we would have likely headed towards an unplanned C-Section. But her guidance enabled us to have the waterbirth that I had really wanted and Sam played a key role in supporting us to navigate the NHS and have a positive birth experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Sam and her doula and hypnobirthing services to any expecting parents. She is truly exceptional at what she does. Thank you, Sam.

We booked Sam for a 1:1 hypnobirthing course for our second baby. She is a wonderful teacher and really helped me and my partner get the most out of hypnobirthing. Having a very long labour, the knowledge she passed down to us was invaluable! Definitely recommend booking in with her!

We thoroughly enjoyed Sam’s hypnobirthing course! Sam put us both at ease and we finished the course with knowledge and techniques to help us through our birthing journey. We came away feeling genuinely informed, calm, and prepared rather than overwhelmed. We cannot recommend Sam’s course highly enough to any expectant parent.

We had such a positive birth experience & I fully credit that to Sam. We got in contact with her as the birth of our first daughter hadn’t gone how we wanted. The work we did with Sam antenatally & having her present at the birth meant it was so different this time. Sam helped both practically; assisting me into the optimum positions to give birth & coaching me through pushing but also emotionally by being a calming presence & the cheerleader that she knew I needed. Our work with Sam also allowed us to feel really confident in the birth choices we were making. My husband & I can’t rave about Sam enough & would 100% recommend her to others.
