I would highly recommend Nicki and her services during pregnancy and beyond! Nicki’s hypnobirthing course helped me feel better prepared for birth; her Chill Tuesday sessions gave me a weekly time to relax, dedicate time to my pregnancy and feel better rested; and, post-birth, her Chilled Mumma sessions provided a space where I could connect with like-minded new parents in a welcoming environment. Nicki is such a warm soul who is always ready to offer advice and support and I definitely feel my journey to motherhood was bettered by the interaction I had with her & her sessions. Would highly recommend 🙂

We have recently completed a Wise Hippo hypnobirthing course with Nicki and we can't recommend it enough! Nicki is so friendly and supportive and has equipped us with so much knowledge and insight as well as techniques which have made us feel empowered and fully prepared for birth. We now also feel part of a friendly community of parents-to-be and Nicki also offers support and relaxation sessions that extend beyond the course - she goes the extra mile for her couples and encourages everyone to keep in touch which is invaluable and so reassuring. If you are wondering if hypnobirthing is for you - the answer is yes and we 100% recommend Nicki! 🙂

I signed up to hypnobirthing with Nicki and it was absolutely the best decision I made throughout my pregnancy.
Nicki was supportive from the moment I signed up, offering relaxation classes in the build up and always only being a message away. The hypnobirthing sessions were a great way to speak to other expecting parents , ask questions and learn relaxation techniques which helped me not only during pregnancy and labour, but also in stressful moments as a new mum. I was extremely anxious about giving birth early on in my pregnancy but when I went into labour I had multiple midwives comment on how calm the room was (even with our birth plan not going to plan at all!). Nicki helped me to gain so much confidence speaking with doctors and midwives so I knew what questions to ask and helped me feel informed and able to make decisions. Thanks to Nicki I had such a positive experience and have been able to say I genuinely enjoyed giving birth.
Nicki has continued to support even after my little one has arrived and it has been so lovely to feel like part of a community of mums. I am so grateful for the birthing journey that Nicki made possible and couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone expecting a baby.

We did a refresher course with the lovely Nicki for the birth of our 2nd baby. She helped me to remember techniques and mind set for labour which was invaluable on the day, everyone should practice hypnobirthing! Thank you Nicki ❤️

Our sessions with Nicki were an extremely useful source of information which we found invaluable. At all the different stages during birthing process and lead up, our decision making process was guided with what we had learnt. It was really good to have Nicki on hand to reassure us that we were on track with well informed and balanced info. Not sure how we would have got the positive results we did without these sessions! Highly recommended 😀

After hearing about the benefits of hypnobirthing from friends I looked into courses when I got pregnant and came across Nicki’s Bold Birthing. From the start Nicki was so welcoming and friendly, and I signed up to her in person course. I’m so glad I did - my partner and I learnt so much across the 4 sessions and given the relaxed environment and small group, we had a chance to ask questions and discuss topics in much more detail than you would ever get via an online course. Nicki really goes above and beyond for all her clients and I left feeling confident and in control. In addition to the course I was able to attend her weekly relaxation sessions right up to my birth to practice the techniques learnt. Hypnobirthing certainly helped me feel calm and relaxed leading up to the birth. And Nicki has been a fantastic support in the weeks leading to my baby being born and afterwards.

100% recommend hypnobirthing and Nicki to anyone who is pregnant.

My husband and I signed up to Nicki’s hypnobirthing course as nervous first time parents. Nicki is a lovely, supportive and calming course leader with a serious amount of birth knowledge and techniques to impart. We learned a lot and had fun, but most of all I and my husband were able to approach the birth fully prepared and confident about what to expect and what our options were. My little baby arrived safely and with the minimum amount of stress.
I would recommend Nicki’s course to anyone expecting a baby.

Myself and my husband took Nicki’s refresher course in the summer for our third baby.

I am a hypnobirthing teacher myself but I wanted to take the time together with my husband to refresh on our skills, to learn some new ones and to create that time and space to really feel like a team in preparation for our third and final baby.

Nicki was brilliant at accommodating all of the above! She really gave us the space to talk about both our previous experiences during labour and birth as well as our hopes for this birth.

Life with two little ones is really busy so taking the course really carved out the time we needed as a couple and gave us the nudge to practise in our own time and also learn new techniques which I found extremely helpful both during stressful times in pregnancy and during the birth itself.

The birth was extremely quick and intense - I couldn’t have managed so calmly without the techniques Nicki shared and my husbands support, which was totally in line with my needs due to our time with Nicki.

Nicki is a warm, friendly and knowledgeable teacher with a great sense of humour. We are really grateful for the wonderful sessions, techniques and your on going support, our birth wouldn’t have been so smooth without our time together, thank you Nicki.
