Testimonials
Read what some of my parents have to say about BabyBien courses:
"Hi Kate,I just wanted to say a massive thank you!!! Hypnobirthing helped me so much and gave me the best birth experience. After listening to your MP3s every day in the lead up to birth I know they helped me stay so calm and focused and not lose sight of my goals. Every midwife commented on how well I managed the process and the pain and respected that we were hypnobirthing. I felt empowered, confident and in control throughout. It's the best thing I did while pregnant and I loved my birth experience. I have a super content and relaxed baby too. His heart rate during birth never went up - he was so happy and relaxed and still is now he's in the outside world. Thank you again!!!”
CARINA
"What a lovely baby massage course! It was so lovely to spend quality time with my baby learning techniques to calm and relax her. Kate provided a warm and welcoming environment which was completely baby led.
I met some lovely other mums and we all got on very well during the course, so much so we often over ran due to lots of 'Mum chat'. Thank you so much Kate!"
CHARLOTTE

'Thank you for the baby massage course- I really enjoyed it! You created a really calm, friendly and relaxing environment both for mums and babies. I felt very safe throughout and you went out of your way to make sure you followed all the guidelines.
All the best for the future!
NATALIA (& BABY ALICIA)
"I gave birth with no pain relief or interventions. The first part of the labour I was in the water but had to get out for the pushing stage.
I listened to your main hypnobirthing track on a loop throughout the contractions and used visualisations and it helped so much! That part was very calm and special, the bath was by the window and we were able to watch the sun rise over the mountains by lake Como!
My midwife was amazing, she loved my visual birth plan!
Thanks so much Kate your course made a huge difference for me!"
LUCY
“Kate’s baby massage course was a great way for me and my newborn to get to know each other and spend a quality time together in the early days. Kate has such a calming influence and soft voice that kept all the babies happy. I shall miss a Wednesday afternoon at yours Kate, not just for the tea and biscuits! Thank you"
