Parent testimonials

"I haven't even had this baby yet and I have more than gotten my money’s worth in stress reduction and relaxation that my Blissborn classes have given me. I actually look forward to my bus rides because I know they will bring me renewal and calm. And for this crazy girl its worth its weight in gold. I can't recommend it enough. I haven’t had to take one anxiety pill since being pregnant. My medical professionals are very happy and I feel ready for another day!"

"This turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. The classes gave me what I needed. The ability to deeply relax and let go, addressing any fears I had, and building trust that my body was capable of a comfortable birth to name just a few ...

"I believe the baby started off posterior and so I had a lot of back and wrap around pain with each contraction, whereas with my first labor I could say I really didn't have pain, just the intensity. This is where the classes and practice really paid off.  I could have easily let it overwhelm me, but I was able to stay relaxed, and found that when I did the discomfort significantly decreased.  I was able to just let the process take over and surrender to and accept the discomfort because I had worked thru my fears and trusted that my body knew what to do, I just needed to stay relaxed ...

"I was in the birthing tub for 20 minutes before E. was born, so it was very fast. She came out calm and very alert 2 hours and 20 minutes after we got to the hospital.  She breastfed beautifully and still does.

"I am so happy that I could give the gift of a natural birth to my daughter.  I believe that it is because of my relaxation and no interventions during birth that she is as calm and alert as she is.  Thank you for making such an amazing birth possible!  I will be recommending Blissborn to everyone I know who is expecting."

"The first thing I said to Pat Sonnenstuhl [Blissborn educator in Olympia, WA] when I contacted her was that I had no idea how to relax. But the first time we practiced, I quickly fell into a hypnotic state. I left feeling relaxed, confident, and rejuvenated. The practices that my boyfriend and I did together brought us closer and deepened our ability to communicate with each other. This program made our commitment to have an intervention free, suffer-free childbirth a 50/50 job, and mine and my boyfriend's confidence began to grow ...

"In labor, there were times I wanted to give up, but with the tools we learned, I came back to a relaxed state and ready to fulfill on my committment to have a labor with no interventions.  I pushed for only 45 minutes, and my precious little boy was placed on my chest. That moment was the most empowered I have, and will ever feel in my life.

"I now know myself as someone who can do anything. My boyfriend now knows himself as being more confident than he ever thought possible. The doctor that delivered our son sat on the end of the bed with us for a few moments and continually commented on how alert he was. He latched right on to my breast and I knew that it was my Blissborn training that had got me to this point. He is such a sweet boy, and we are so lucky.

"Blissborn is the key to have an intervention, suffer-free childbirth. It is possible, and my son is living proof.

"The information provided in the parent manual is invaluable. My girlfriend was checking it out the other day and she couldn't stop saying 'wow.' She was so impressed with how much was provided to the birth couples. She took two different birth preparation classes before having a home birth 18 months ago and said she still felt like she wasn't prepared enough. She's very excited about the program and will definitely use it for the next baby."

Leigh

"Having had a baby before, I had anxiety about this labor, about losing control and about the pain.  After my first experience with hypnosis, I walked out of our session feeling like I had a massage, some therapy and a nice refreshing nap.  I didn’t know if it would really help in labor because the pain in my previous labor was so intense, but at least I felt good with dealing with my everyday stress.

"In the beginning of labor, I practiced hypnosis, and kept using hypnosis as the contractions got stronger. We went to the clinic. I was 8 cm dilated and walked to the birthing center.  I began to feel intense pressure.  I started to get nervous as the contractions were building in intensity, thinking that I didn’t want to do this and that I wasn’t going to maintain control. I got into the tub and had my husband turn on the Blissborn Blissful Birth CD.

"I went into a deeply relaxed state with each contraction and felt calm and in control.  I kept listening to the disc reminding me to relax and that I could do this.  As the disc came to an end, my cervix opened completely with a push. Before I knew it, my little baby was crowning and floating up from the water, a four-minute pushing stage."
