3rd Time Round
I wasn’t looking for a course before I was approached by Ané as third time round, finding time & a course that would be different was tricky (in covid times!) I have always been interested in a hypnobirthing course but never done one, so with the Christian take on it- it ticked all the boxes & I was excited to try something different.
My husband Sam enjoyed the interaction & thought process of parts he could be involved with & it gave us time to focus & discuss points that may help both of us, like support in labour, what I may find helpful, any concerns or worries Sam had, as well as reflect on previous experiences.
We really enjoyed the Christian links to the course & making it more faith/prayer/scripture driven. Made it more personal & heightened the focus for us.
I was surprised at how much I found useful. Third time around I was quite open minded about how different labours are & trying to go with the flow with baby 3. Being given new techniques to use & ‘anchors’ that are useful after baby was born too have been invaluable.
I felt in control of my labour the whole time, even when things were out of my control. I felt more empowered, more focused & more relaxed. This certainly helped with the labour. The course really helped with breathing techniques & anchors for labour (and beyond) as well as feeling empowered by Gods word.
I used the breathing techniques after birth for breastfeeding as well as when I needed some headspace from discomfort/pain/managing parenting 3 children!
Ane was incredible. She has an amazing approach to supporting with labour, parenting & beyond as well as blessing me with the knowledge & comfort she expresses in His word. Ane is kind, gentle, knowledgeable & passionate about empowering women during this season in their lives & I’m super grateful for the course & Ane's beautiful ways, entwined in it.

Unplanned C Section
As a first time mum I was looking at a course like this because I have been aware of hypnobirthing in the Christian context but was wary of going deeper due to its authenticity and foundations in the word of God. I was absolutely petrified of the idea of giving birth and motherhood so i was excited to go through a journey of being set free from this was a welcomed invitation and answer to prayer.
I was so excited, we to do the course, even over zoom, we were already doing an normal antenatal class but i want something more. I believed that birth could be supernatural but how to unlock that was very important to me.
My husband Joe loved it, the in depthness and the foundations in the world were greatly welcomed and helped during birth.
I enjoyed How interactive the course was and the Biblical Meditation tracks were a God send. Even when I had my epidural, i had it playing in the background; even the anesthetist asked me what was playing!
What was most surprising to me was just how strong we are created in God and how we are created to birth our babies. I had a C Section and I still believe this truth as I still 'birthed' him with assistance.
Although I did not have the labour and birth I wanted, the peace and Joy of God was so evident and guided my every choice. I felt empowered to make my choices.
I am so glad I did the course. It gave me the knowledge and power to ask questions and make informed decisions. All in all I'd say the course definitely worked for my husband and I.
Review
It was working even before labour
After a traumatic first labour, my husband and I knew the course was working for us when we attended the hospital for the first time again since our first child's birth for an appointment. And we felt so calm and at peace.
" To Ané Thank you so much for the Birthing Course! We were so really blessed by it and know it will definitely help us! Great to get to know you better, we pray huge blessing over your ministry and family! xxx"
