Testimonial from Marisa
"I am so thankful to Anja for helping us achieve the beautiful, calm, unmedicated birth we always dreamed of. Anja’s course gave us essential knowledge and great tools and techniques to use during the birth process. My partner and I practiced the breathing techniques every day and they were so helpful during labor to keep me focussed and comfortable. I’m confident that hypnobirthing made my 6.5 hour labor not only possible, but also wonderful. We could not be more proud of our baby girl and the way she came into this world."
Testmonial from Layce
"Hi Anja! I wanted to reach out to you to tell you I birthed a beautiful baby girl last Friday! And I breathed my way through the whole thing. My doula said she was so impressed with my breathing through the surges. I thought of you and heard your voice counting in my head! So thank you. The labor was beautiful. Calm, relaxed, and exactly what I imagined it would be, with my husband and my doula. I feel proud and empowered. And I want to thank you for your course and your constant notes and reminders on Instagram."
Testimonial from Alannah
"Anja is one of those special, super lovely, open and understanding people - exactly what you want when doing a course like this to explore and navigate pregnancy and birth. The course covered all the main points and practices of hypnobirthing - a very accessible mixture of visualisation, relaxation, breathing techniques, physiology, birthing options and positions. We learnt so much and it put me and my husband solidly on the same page to prepare for the birth."
