Ethel has such a gentle, warm and loving nature. Her knowledge & experience with birthing education is invaluable. If you want the best start to your parenting journey, or looking at reconnecting with your second or third baby, look no further than Ethel ✨

Ethel shared so much knowledge and so many helpful techniques with us that really helped us understand the birth process. She gave us practical tools that made us feel confident and helped us go through labor with trust, openness, and acceptance of whatever came our way.

For me, the most powerful tool was my breath. Ethel created such a warm, safe, and welcoming atmosphere in every class, and you could really feel how much love, care, and energy she puts into what she does. Even after the course ended, we still felt her support, and that meant so much to us 🤍

Even though our birth turned out very differently from what we had hoped and expected, thanks to Ethel we had the tools to help us through it.

I had a lovely Bach Flower Remedies session and felt comfortable, heard, and supported throughout. Highly recommend!

My husband and I are so grateful to have found Ethel. From our very first session, we were struck by her gentle, warm, and welcoming nature. She has such a calming presence and creates a space where you immediately feel safe, supported, and cared for.

Throughout the course, Ethel helped us both approach birth with a completely different mindset. Ethel's nurturing and feminine approach encouraged me to trust my body, tune into my instincts, and feel confident in my ability to birth our baby. I have gone from feeling uncertain and anxious about labour to feeling calm, empowered, and genuinely excited for the experience. I now feel much more open to the possibility of a drug-free birth and equipped with practical tools to support me along the way.

For my husband, the classes were equally valuable. He feels far more informed, involved, and confident in how he can support me during labour and birth. We both left each session feeling more connected, prepared, and reassured.

What we appreciated most was the way Ethel shares her knowledge with such kindness, compassion, and encouragement. There is never any judgment, just genuine support and a deep belief in the strength and capability of women and their birth partners.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Ethel to any expecting parents. She has had such a positive impact on our journey into parenthood, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have learned from her! <3

With my partner, Tanya, we started hypnobirthing while knowing nothing about what we wanted for receiving our little babygirl. Ethel was a huge support and gave us confidence on having a peaceful and warmth birth. We took the classes even when we are from Gisborne: two classes were online and last 2 were face to face in Tauranga, at her place which is, by the way, wonderful and comfy.
We became aware of this unique moment of our lives, about making the right decisions and knowing what to expect from it. Being fully in control.
I would strongly recommend hypnobirthing for all parents-to-be and especially with Ethel.
Thanks again Ethel, for helping us to have the most wonderful and meaningful birth. As she said, finally is baby's birthday 0th and is totally worth it.

I have no words enough to describe how grateful I am for Ethel’s work, ethic and commitment to the treatments
I recommend her 100%

Ethel held the most beautiful and supportive space for us. She made me feel so special and nurtured as a pregnant mama and it felt like a sacred and magical time to connect with our baby and each other.

We're new to New Zealand and had successfully used Hypnobirthing with our first child eight years ago in Jersey, UK and realised how powerful breath work can be for relaxation and focus.

Our midwife suggested a refresher with our third pregnancy and wow I'm so pleased we did! Ethel was genuinely warm and welcoming, she really cared about our journey, previous two birth experiences and fears. She helped to educate and empower us with her passion and knowledge during our informative and super relaxing session with practical advice, leaving myself and my husband feeling so ready to birth our baby and finally achieve our dream of a home birth, water birth.

Our baby was born peacefully and speedily at home in the water and the techniques Ethel had inspired us with were such helpful tools, my husband was much more confident to support me than with our previous two births as Ethel had empowered him with some really practical tools.

So grateful that we were able to have this session and highly recommend it to all parents 💞

Working with Ethel before my second birth was one of the best decisions I made. The first time around, I assumed my midwifery knowledge & trust in natural birth would be enough. I underestimated the power of mental preparation.

The second time, I chose to do Ethel’s 1:1 Hypnobirthing course after seeing my own clients experience calm, positive labours through her work. The relaxation and breathing techniques significantly improved my sleep and helped me move through the intensity of late pregnancy feeling more grounded.

The biggest lesson for me was the power of relaxation in between contractions. Being able to use the breath to reduce tension, relies on the mind & body already being in a place of peace before the intensity arrives.

I’m so grateful for the calm, confidence and practical skills this course gave me, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ethel to anyone wanting to approach birth feeling genuinely prepared.

Hicimos el curso de hipnoparto con Ethel y fue una experiencia hermosa. Ethel es muy amorosa, transmite muchísima paz y sensibilidad. Se nota que ama lo que hace y que tiene mucho conocimiento, que comparte con mucha claridad.
El curso nos ayudó a conectar con este segundo embarazo, con nuestra bebé, y también a seguir fortaleciéndonos como equipo. Ya habíamos hecho un curso similar con nuestro primer hijo, y nos había ayudado mucho a encarar el embarazo y el parto con más claridad y seguridad. Después de haber tenido una experiencia tan positiva en ese primer parto, queríamos repetirlo con nuestra segunda bebé.
Y realmente fue así: tuvimos un parto maravilloso. Me sentí empoderada, segura y, sobre todo, muy acompañada por mi marido, que me sostuvo durante todo el proceso.
Lo recomendamos muchísimo 🤍
