Colwyn is The Sensei of motherhood. I cannot recommend her HypnoBirthing sessions more to any parent-to-be
.. Whilst having a baby for the first time over the age of 35 is increasingly popular, at the time of my pregnancy my friends nearby weren't new mums, and not many had children. I also live in a city without family close by, and my husband's family live in another country. So our support network was limited.
Which is why having Colwyn 'hold our hands' through pregnancy with HypnoBirthing sessions was so important. Her passion for the experience of bringing a little human into this world is so contagious I headed off to labour not in fear of the mystery and pain, rather, I was feeling like Beyoncé! Because we felt prepared. Colwyn's guidance gave us knowledge, and the confidence to understand what lay ahead. You get notes. You get reading material and audio. You do meditations and calming visualisations of the big day. I loved how it trained my husband and I in techniques to approach 'pain', and educated us on options for conversations with medical staff. Because there are options, if you have the right info - who knew!
Colwyn's friendly, open-minded approach to the sessions makes it feel like you are catching up with a friend. She has a personal bank of wisdom as a mother of three herself, and I loved hearing her own anecdotes.
Having someone on your side throughout pregnancy, who has a wealth of information to ease the mind on all sorts of arising questions, even the embarrassing ones, is really important. Especially for reassurance from all those horror stories every other mother suddenly decides to tell you about from their own birth, or that friend of a friend..like they do!
"When my wife told me we were doing Hypno Birthing sessions I thought perhaps she wanted to give birth in a trance under moonlight. Then I met Colwyn and realised I completely had the concept of HypnoBirthing incorrect!" - Justin in Sydney
