A few words from recent Mamas:
“Dulcie’s Becoming Mama - The Birth, Baby & Parent Preparation Course is the way forward! If anyone is considering it, go for it! We learnt so much which made the whole experience really special. People are in AWE when I share my birth story. My favourite response has been from my sister… “You?! But you’re the biggest wimp I know! You’ve been INCREDIBLE!” Theo and I went in so calm, so confident, so ready and right now we are enjoying every second with our lovely baby boy. “
Sarah Garcia - JoyFULL Mamas Client 2023
Hey Dulcie, how are you ? Just wanted to introduce you to little Rome! Born on 22nd. I also just want to say a huge thank you for everything! I had the most amazing birth - I got through the whole birth using the techniques learned in your sessions and only had gas and air from 7cm onwards and also was able to go in the pool! I felt totally in control the whole time and I couldn’t have done it so well and calmly without you and your course! You are truly amazing and I couldn’t thank you enough. I can’t wait to come back and do baby yoga once I’m recovered!
Ellie Pethers - JoyFULL Mamas Client 2024
Dara McGillian, didn’t need induction in the end as he decided to make a very quick surprise appearance! Managed to labour to 7cm dilated at home, 100% thanks to hypnobirthing!! Liam says that before the labour and birth he really enjoyed the time we carved out together to practice the techniques we learn’t in your course in the evenings. He was soo amazing & felt much more empowered & confident in being actively involved because of our course. We couldn’t have done it without you, thank you!
Nicky Morton - JoyFULL Mamas Client 2024
Just wanted to say a big thank you, baby Ruben is here after the most empowering birth in the pool. I didn’t lose faith & really had a positive experience & I could advocate for myself & Matt advocated for me – we were both like a power couple – really knowing what we were doing & wanted to do & actually I’m really glad it happened the way it happened – it was so lovely @ the Haven. Thank you for all of the techniques and knowledge you taught us. Mat was a fantastic birth partner and we are both very loved up with our baby boy!
