The Mindful Birth Group® Bewertungen 

Our first baby was born at home during covid and Laura’s hellobaby mindful tracks and course allowed me to feel confident and capable to birth my first baby without any fear.

We did the course again during our second pregnancy and would recommend this to any parents having multiple pregnancies. We found it helpful to refresh our memories with the science behind labour and what to expect both physically and mentally.

I am forever grateful we did this because my second birth was more complex. Laura’s knowledge gave me the information I needed to make informed decisions and exercise autonomy. As a result I had a positive labour despite it not being my ideal scenario.

The mindfulbirth course was educative and enjoyable but more than that Laura provided individual support on the phone and was available when I was in hospital making immediate decisions.

After my birth Laura provided feeding and latch support and came to my home to observe and advise. It was invaluable to have guidance so early on in my feeding journey.

It’s been lovely to have the same person and consistent support in pregnancy, birth and postnatally. I feel sad to say that our family is complete and we won’t have the pleasure of working with Laura again.

We signed up with Rhonda after finding out about her online and receiving recommendations from a few people we know.

Rhonda is full of knowledge and very informative. We have obtained the reassurance we needed to have a safe and positive birthing experience as well as the knowledge to make the best decisions for us.

We immediately felt at ease with Rhonda and it was like being with a friend guiding us through this journey. We could ask all our questions and received more than we ever expected from this course.

The support continues after the course finishes with Rhonda and with the information available on the app, which continues to give you reassurance and everything you may need or want to know.

Highly recommend The Mindful Birth Group, especially Rhonda if you get the chance.

Thank you so much for everything, Rhonda you are amazing! X

Sally was a fantastic part of our pregnancy journey. We felt she gave us so much more knowledge of what the birth process was, and what options we had. Thank you so much sally. Xx

Brilliant course! We recently attended a private antenatal course with Rhonda via zoom and found it to be informative, empowering and reassuring. She was so knowledgeable and armed us with many brilliant tools and strategies that we used when the time came! I started the course feeling nervous and daunted at the prospect of birth, and by the time we had finished felt confident, supported and fully prepared.

We booked our antenatal classes with Sally, after having a zoom call with her to find out more about what it all involved. From the moment we spoke, we instantly felt at ease and in safe hands.

The classes were small, friendly groups, just what we were after, and the information shared with us really gave us a great understanding of what to expect and more importantly to highlight our rights to choose how we wanted to birth our baby.

We finished the course feeling excited and confident for what was to come.

Further to the course, the app has provided a great place for information, as well as weekly yoga classes and monthly zoom meetings to prepare for postnatal period.

We highly recommend to anyone looking for support during pregnancy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Mindful Birth course with Sally - we felt at ease straight away and found the content really useful and easy to understand. We had a great birth and I feel the course definitely helped accomplish that! Thank you Sally!

My partner and I took the positive birth course with Laura Batten in Brighton. It was an amazing experience. We learnt many techniques to put up with labour pain such as respiration techniques, mindfulness, tips for eating and drinking during and post labour, relaxation techniques eccetera. I had the most amazing home birth in the comfort of my house with a water pool which was also recommended by our teacher. I cannot recommend Laura enough: she is a calm and experienced coach with plenty of tips and advice to make your labour the best experience you can have.

Having recently attended antenatal classes with Rhonda, I feel so much more at ease and was amazed at how little I knew before hand! The content of the classes has meant that I now have a better understanding of lots of topics and I feel much more empowered and at ease! Rhonda was extremely patient, answered all of my questions and has kept in touch with me! I feel very supported!
The location and snacks were an added bonus, overall attending the classes was a really positive experience!

Rachel is an incredible teacher ... we joined her for a private hypnobirthing course and she couldn't have been lovelier or more professional in giving a considered and informative overview of the birth process. We went in feeling quite daunted by the mysteries of birth but as each session passed, we felt more confident and prepared and especially enjoyed reframing some of the language around birth to be/feel more positive. Would 100% recommend this course and Rachel to lead it ... we very much look forward to seeing Rachel again for some postnatal doula support!

I joined the Mindful Birth course as a Midwife, hoping to use the knowledge gained from this course in my role supporting families in pregnancy after previous birth trauma. The course was fantastic, informative and inclusive and the team were absolutely lovely and so helpful. The reading resources sent out as part of the course were brilliant to read and great to share with some of our service users. I have had great feedback from service users who I have taught the techniques to and look forward to continuing to use this with other clients in the future.

Emiliana was absolutely amazing!
My son’s birth was a total dream come true and that’s mostly to do with our meetings with Emiliana.
We got so many tools and information that helped me so much!
Thank you Emiliana!

The hypnobirthing course was great! Me and my husband had classes with Rhonda who is absolutely brilliant! She is very knowledgeable and delivers the information in a very open-minded and non-judgmental way. On multiple occasions she highlighted how the choice is always mine and she only makes sure I have all the necessary information. We had few issues with the pregnancy, but Rhonda went that extra mile to help us navigate the situation and gain back the control over it. This course was the best decision about my pregnancy I've made and I can't recommend it enough!

My husband had a virtual antenatal class with Rhonda last weekend and we couldn’t have found it more enjoyable and informative. Rhonda has a gentle, open minded way of delivering evidence based information. We both now feel empowered and knowledgeable, ready for our baby to arrive.

The Hypnobirthing course comes as a package of the mindful birth group and has great features. I loved my weekly pregnancy yoga and currently doing mummy and baby yoga postpartum which is included as well. They have a hub and you can ask midwives for advise and connect with other mummies. They have amazing resources throughout your journey of pregnancy and postpartum.
Highly recommend this service for all mummies and mummies to be out there!

Rachel Cunliffe, at the Mindful Birthing Group, is the most outstanding, caring, empathetic, knowledgeable and sensible Doula who is worth more than her weight in gold.

We were initially looking for a hypnobirthing professional to help give us some techniques and mindsets to keep my partner calm during pregnancy and in labour for the birth of our first child. With this being the first time we were going through this, there were many unknowns and we wanted someone with experience, knowledge and confidence in the natural processes in the body during pregnancy. As we got to know Rachel throughout the course, it became apparently clear that not only was she extensively knowledgeable about hypnobirthing and thoroughly researched in pregnancy and managing pain during it, but she also had the perfect calm and reassuring personality to provide direct support during pregnancy and labour. We pretty much immediately asked her to be our doula.

Rachel is an expert in framing birth as a positive natural experience and not only did this come across from our first meeting, but throughout all our interactions. She was excellent at reassuring us that the pregnancy was progressing the way it should, and any feelings my partner was having were right and safe for our son. Once we had asked her to be our doula, she struck the perfect balance between professional (arranging the particulars, letting us know what exactly she could and could not offer like medical interventions), and being completely accessible, communicative, responsive, empathetic, friendly, the whole 9 yards.

When our time for labour came along, Rachel was quite simply outstanding. She prepped us extremely well so we were ready for any event, protected our space, was prompt at arriving at our house at a minutes notice, supported us physically and emotionally through the process (even small things like bringing lavender infused cold compresses to keep her cool in the warm birthing pool, which I add she topped up with warm water regularly for us so I could stay in the pool while my partner went through her contractions), she gave us tips on how to help labour progress and reassured us when things were going smoothly, she gave the perfect tips which I am positive helped my son be born with no complications and no mishaps, she communicated clearly with midwives (who arrived after my son was born) and protected our first golden hour with our son to allow us to revel in the new family emotions. She even cleared everything (I mean everything) up afterwards with not a single word of complaint. After being with us continuously for 16 hours supporting us. She was unbelievable.

Put simply, Rachel is an outstanding Doula because, aside from the extensive experience, knowledge, science and facts she can give on pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond, she protects, empowers, listens and most importantly, cares, genuinely cares, about your journey and does exactly what it takes to ensure that you get the pregnancy, labour and birth that you never knew you could have. Both myself and my partner would unreservedly recommend her to anyone having a child in the future. Except for when my partner is pregnant again when Rachel will not be free as she will be busy being our Doula again.

As a first time mum and naturally anxious person the thought of birth and the lead up to it was extremely overwhelming for me. A close friend recommended Sally and booking her course was the best thing we could have done. Sally was absolutely amazing. The course was so insightful and instantly put me at ease, to the point where I was actually starting to feel excited about birth and no longer anxious. The service Sally provides goes above and beyond. She was there for me when I had any worries or concerns and advised me when I went into early labour. I couldn’t recommend Sally enough - thank you so much for being part of our journey x

Some of my favourite people to ever exist!
Emiliana fell from heaven I’m sure of it.
As a surrogate, we had Jade help us as our Doula and honestly she has been an absolute blessing to the whole pregnancy progress. So knowledgeable and friendly and always on hand to help me when I’m whatsapping silly questions to her on a random Tuesday at 1am lol! If you invest in your pregnancy, you will absolutely feel and see the rewards instantly- this company is one of those investments. If I could give them a million stars, I would 💖

Brilliant preparation for baby no1, now reusing for baby no 2! Used this more than any other resource, including being more useful than hospital led courses. So grateful. Thanks a million.

This course is like a soothing bubble bath for your brain!
After just two sessions we left feeling educated, calm, and most of all, like we’ve got this whole birth and parenting thing!
Rhonda took me from feeling anxious about the unknown having heard all the cliché birth stories, to a woman ready to face birth and parenthood face-on with a smile on my face and a glint of power in my eyes.
I cannot express how happy we are that we met her and loved that she covered all the added, unbiased topics which other antenatal courses avoid (such as Caesarian, and bottle feeding).
We appreciated the open conversation, coaching approach and non judgemental feel to the whole experience.
And all the extra support online? Amazing! Such an enriching and full experience.

Both my partner and I found Siobhan and the Mindful Birth Company course really helpful, informative and engaging and would 100% recommend to other expectant parents.

I was around 25 weeks pregnant when we attended and had been feeling like I was ready to start preparing for birth more, but hadn’t really been sure where to start or how to go about it.

The course covers a range of topics including the stages of labour, relaxation and breathing techniques and how to create a positive and calm birthing environment, as well as your birth choices and how best to advocate for yourself through pregnancy and birth.

Siobhan was warm, welcoming and friendly and created a really safe space in which to learn and ask questions. She was really knowledgable and clearly very passionate about helping people to have a positive birth experience, and recommended lots of further reading/resources that we plan to dip in and out of as we get nearer to our due date.

We are very glad we signed up and are now feeling positive and confident about what is to come.
