Alison & Malcolm,

“Meeting Andrea and completing her Hypnobirthing course was the best thing we did to prepare for our son’s birth. We had the most amazing and positive experience - even the midwives were surprised how quickly our baby came into the world. There was no shouting, swearing, squeezing hands, nothing like Gray’s Anatomy! You do such amazing work Andrea in sharing your knowledge and experience the way you do, but it’s your warmth and positivity that make you such a special person.”

“The relaxations and meditations we learned were helpful in the weeks before birth, keeping me calm and feeling proactive. My husband found it helpful knowing about the maternity service and different staff roles and their competing ambitions, so he felt they were familiar to him when he was observing them at work, which was comforting and put him at ease. Learning how we can easily question and challenge information from our caregivers, until we feel comfortable and secure, was invaluable to us – something I continue to do 3 months later.”

“Andrea’s manner put us at ease from the start and empowered us to take the decisions we wanted to take. Knowledge is power and the course, combined with the tools and skills of breathing, mindfulness and relaxation, made it really powerful. Andrea’s professional knowledge and friendly manner supported the course brilliantly. We came away feeling great and full of ideas and excitement. I had great confidence in my role as birth partner and was able to support Anna – we had the best birth experience.”

Josie & Graham,
Aberdeen, Scotland
“This was a life changing experience for myself and my partner. Andrea’s nature, knowledge and patience provided a steadfast base for absorbing and understanding the ins and outs of labour. The confidence I have gained from Andrea is priceless and I can’t believe how much more able and strong I feel in my body’s ability to grow and birth my baby. I feel urged to share Andrea’s message that we as women have options and that our bodies need to be respected and kept safe.”

Amy & Matthew,
Aberdeen, Scotland
“We came to Andrea having done Hypnobirthing elsewhere for our first baby. Andrea’s course blew our mind – we can’t believe how much more we learned and how much more relaxed and empowered we felt this time around. We both felt more able to ask the midwives and doctors questions during pregnancy and labour. I even felt confident challenging information we were given if it didn't make sense to me, and this really helped me make the right choices for me and my baby. I feel the whole experience has helped us be more confident parents too.”

Eleanor,
Aberdeen, Scotland
“I’ve experienced anxiety all my life and contacted Andrea as I was terrified of childbirth and didn’t want to use pain relief or have needles. I didn’t think anything could help me. Andrea put me at ease in an instant and after doing her course, I went on to manage the whole of labour and birth with only 2 paracetamols and Hypnobirthing techniques. Giving birth was honestly the best day of my life.”

Julie & Chris,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland
“I’m not sure what I was expecting, but my colleagues told me Hypnobirthing puts pressure on women to have a ‘natural’ birth. However, my experience with Andrea was that this isn’t the case at all. Andrea’s course empowers women to have the kind of birth they want; it empowered me to make informed choices that were right for me, and gave me the knowledge, tools and confidence to decide what was best for me and my baby and how to ask for that and achieve it, every step of the way.”

Georgina & Mitchell,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland
“We started working with Andrea at 20 weeks due to my anxiety around pregnancy and labour. Hypnobirthing became an essential part of my pregnancy, helping me with pregnancy related nightmares and keeping calm through the many episodes of reduced movements I experienced. I originally planned a water birth but due to how things unfolded in labour, I decided to opt for a c-section. I used hypnobirthing techniques to calm myself in theatre, which was a god send, as this supported me to get through. The support I have received from Andrea has been amazing. I cannot recommend her enough.”
Ali, Aberdeen, Scotland
“For me, what sets Andrea apart from others is her willingness to go into the ‘technical’, scientific side of things in more detail when I wanted this kind of information. In general, I felt more aware of scenarios that could arise in labour which helped me feel confident and prepared to support my wife in labour. I was more sceptical of the hypnosis side of things at first but, it wasn’t like that at all. I ended up quite enjoying the relaxations! My wife really benefitted from the education and techniques hugely and we had an amazing birth experience.”

“We would 100% recommend Andrea’s services! The level and quality of antenatal education was much higher than expected and was one of the best decisions we have made. We were extremely happy with the content and overall experience and empowerment Andrea provides and felt more confident and excited about our baby’s birth. We felt Andrea got to know us as individuals & it was always a joy to visit her for our sessions. We would 100% recommend Andrea’s services to others.”

Marie-Claire & Joe,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland
“Thank you so much for helping us to make the right decisions for us. We feel positive and confident going into this huge part of life. In particular Andrea’s course made us feel like something we were undertaking as a couple and not just Marie-Claire on her own. We would recommend Andrea to anyone wanting to have the tools and knowledge to give birth in the way they want. Empowered and enriched, we felt ready for the birth of our baby.”

Nicola & Gary,
Aberdeen, Scotland
“We both thoroughly enjoyed working with Andrea and found her course very beneficial and informative. She is a very knowledgeable and experienced Hypnobirth coach with the added expertise of being a very experienced midwife. We were impressed with both the content and how she delivered it. We immediately felt relaxed and calm in the atmosphere she created and were very impressed with her knowledge and expertise. Andrea’s love of what she does can be clearly seen and everything was tailored to our needs. She also supported us regarding conversations we were having with the doctors. We felt much calmer and in control of the whole situation because of this.”
Katie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
“We can’t thank Andrea enough for everything that she has done for us – both with our Hypnobirthing Refresher Course and the Mother Blessing Ceremony. The Mother Blessing Ceremony was an incredibly humbling, beautiful, and magical experience. Andrea created such a special, fun and beautiful ceremony and chose the most perfect poetry reading! She has the kindest heart and always knows exactly what to say. I feel overwhelmed with gratitude and love. It’s a day I will forever cherish and look back on. My heart has never felt so full.”

“Shamanic counselling with Andrea has given me a safe and beautiful way to find much-needed spiritual help and guidance. I felt very supported and securely held during each session. It was like coming home to the place where my soul meets the invisible realm, and where spiritual helpers are waiting to help me. A few subtle barriers have come down in terms of my relationship to myself and to the sacred. I’m forever grateful to Andrea for her gentle and skilful work.”
Laura, BC,

“I was lucky enough to receive a shamanic healing from Andrea. What a wonderful modality! Because we do not live close, she performed the healing from a distance, and it was equally powerful. One thing I requested was work for my mental health and have noticed a marked change since. Andrea’s work has been transformational and instrumental in me being in a better place. She intuitively picked up on physical, mental and emotional issues I’ve been struggling with. She has such a loving, warm, calming presence, how lucky we are to have healers like her during this point in Earth’s history."
Sarah,
Aberdeen
As a full-time employee and mum of two young children, it has become more important to me more than ever to ensure a bank of tools which I can turn to when life gets overwhelming or when I need some direction. Shamanic counselling gave me this. Andrea is a truly beautiful soul. I couldn't recommend her holistic services more to anyone, especially parents who are just starting out on their journey and perhaps have a number of different matters or stressors going on in their lives and need some help to cope.”
