Post Birth Testimonial
I’m so grateful we chose Mitra from Empowered Births for our hypnobirthing course. It gave me a completely different perspective on birthing — one that felt calm, informed, and empowering. Everything was explained in such a clear and supportive way that I felt genuinely prepared going into labour. In fact, after doing this course, any other antenatal classes we attended felt unnecessary, the content here truly covered everything we needed to feel ready for the birthing process.
What stood out most was how supported and capable I felt throughout my entire journey, even when things didn’t go to plan. In the late stages of pregnancy, we discovered our baby was breech and I needed to undergo an ECV at 37 weeks. It was an intense experience, honestly it was almost more challenging than the birth itself, but the breathing techniques and hypnobirthing recordings helped me stay calm enough to go through the procedure three times for it to be successful.
We had been planning a natural home birth, but unfortunately after 34 hours of labour, our baby wasn’t in the right position or descending properly, and we ultimately needed to transfer to hospital and have an emergency c-section. Despite all of these unexpected turns, I truly felt calm, informed, and in control throughout, and I look back feeling incredibly proud of how I handled it.
Mitra’s expertise and support made such a difference. She recommended using a birthing pool, which I’m so glad we did, as it helped me stay comfortable and grounded alongside the other techniques. She is a wealth of knowledge, so warm, kind, and open. She helped me feel fully prepared and even excited for birth.
My partner also came away feeling involved and equipped, which made such a difference for both of us. I would absolutely recommend Mitra and Empowered Births to anyone wanting a more positive, calm, and grounded birthing journey, whatever path your birth may take.
Looking back, I can honestly say I had a trauma-free birth. While it wasn’t what I had planned, it was still the beautiful experience I hoped for and we owe so much thanks to Mitra for her guidance.
