Birch Wellness

Trauma. depression. childhood memories self sabotage

We used Birch Wellness for our prenatal Hypnobirthing sessions and it was hands down the best decision we made during the pregnancy. From the very beginning Carly was so warm and friendly, she has tons of empathy and really takes the time to listen to you, what your goals for the sessions are and any concerns you may have. She has a huge wealth of knowledge both from her own experience as a mum and the variety of work she does both pre and postnatal. We had the sessions as a private couple instead of a group and this meant that Carly was able to really tailor the session to us as a couple. She fully included my husband in every aspect which meant that he felt empowered as the birth partner and when it came to the birth he was able to implement many of the techniques we were taught which came in very handy when the birth process changed. We can not thank Carly enough for the support she gave us right up to the birth and we would not hesitate to use her services again. More...

I first came to Carly for hypno-birthing sessions to help me feel more relaxed about my birthing plans and to overcome a few small anxieties stemming from my previous labour. Carly used visualisations and guided relaxations to help me to overcome my concerns and left me feeling so confident and excited for the birth of my baby.

A few weeks later I suffered a completely unexpected and traumatic bereavement. It was at this point that Carly expertise, kindness and empathy really became so evident. She created a safe space for me to talk openly and honestly about my fears surrounding my pregnancy, birth and grief. I was left feeling very supported and also empowered by the conversations that we had. The relaxation scripts that she prepared were extremely comforting and helped to restore a sense of calm during my last couple of weeks of pregnancy.

I ended up having a water birth at home as planned. I used the positive affirmations and relaxation methods that Carly had suggested. I had a couple of small wobbles I but was able to get myself back on track thanks to all of the knowledge and reassurance that Carly had provided.

I couldn’t recommend Carly highly enough, not only is she very professional with a wealth of knowledge, she is also caring, calm and passionate about supporting her clients and friends. More...
