Serenebirthing Omdömen 

Joining Serene Birthing was easily one of the best decisions my partner and I made to prepare for our son’s arrival. I wasn’t someone who was previously into meditation, but I listened to audio tracks nightly and it completely changed my perspective. My son even started responding in the womb every time I put them on to do my breathing exercises.

Sydney’s calm, knowledgeable, and friendly approach made all the difference. She educated both of us on every type of birth and all available pain relief options, which gave us the confidence to handle any direction the birth might take.

When labour came, the breathing techniques were invaluable. I still use the breathing techniques and meditation audio tracks to soothe my son whenever he's unsettled or fussy.

I cannot recommend Sydney and Serene Birthing highly enough to any expecting parents. Thank you for helping birth become a positive experience.

I engaged Sydney for 3x 1 on 1 sessions as my husband and I were not entirely on the same page about how I wanted my birthing experience to look. I wanted a natural birth and was very anti intervention and he wanted me to be prepared for all scenarios because of negative birthing stories he had heard from friends. After engaging Sydney, she went through all medical and non-medical avenues so we were educated and ready for any questions or concerns that may have come up. She gave us all the resources to have a great outcome for my birthing experience. I ended up with an all natural, no intervention birth as I wanted. 4 days labouring - It is so achievable when you have the right education and community in your corner.

My husband and I completed Sydney’s hypnobirthing course before the birth of our first son 3 weeks ago. The course was incredibly informative for both of us and although absolutely NOTHING went the way we were hoping during the birth and ultimately ended with an emergency caesarean following 24 hours of labour, we both felt so empowered during the birth and understood what was going on throughout, what questions to ask and it still ended up being an incredibly positive experience. Sydney’s course armed us with the knowledge and understanding to help us make informed decisions throughout the entire experience.

just wanted to say what a positive experience we had with Sydney from start to finish. I started my hypnobirthing course with Sydney during my second trimester, and the course as a whole was so informative, inspiring and empowering. It really helped educate me and, most importantly, helped me get into a positive frame of mind and work through any fears or anxieties I had around birth and labour.

Sydney is incredibly attentive, kind and caring, and I felt so supported throughout the whole journey. Even with the time difference between Australia, where she is based, and the UK, she was always there when we needed her.

I always felt that Sydney encouraged me to make the decisions that were right for me and my baby, rather than simply following what the healthcare system might suggest. She gave us the confidence, knowledge and reassurance to feel empowered in our choices.

Honestly, it was the best experience. Sydney is such a lovely, down-to-earth and genuine person, and she supported both me and my partner in having the best possible birth experience for us and our baby girl. 🩷

I couldn’t recommend her and her hypnobirthing course enough!

Sydney is so thoughtful and caring which is exactly what you need at this stage of life. I’m so grateful I found her when I did. I phoned her when I thought I was going into labour and she was able to talk me through/remind me of the steps and stages. Her hypno birthing course helped me to have my dream birth (albeit intense). The work my husband was able to do through Sydney’s course was the most valuable part as it meant I had my birthing partner telling me to breath and reminding me of all the affirmations and needed tools. Thank you Sydney!

I had a very specific dream birth plan mapped out and working together with Sydney helped me really prepare for it, it was helpful from an educational point of view but also in terms of steps to prepare yourself from hypno birthing right down to packing list for mum and baby. But where I was really grateful about working with Sydney was when things didn’t go according to plan she was such a great voice of reason and helped me empower myself to make educated decisions about my situation. It helped me stay calm in what could have been a stressful situation. Very highly recommend for expecting parents

We completed Sydney’s online hypnobirthing course before the birth of our son, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough.

Sydney’s education was incredibly thorough, evidence-based and so reassuring. She created such a positive, supportive environment and was always happy to answer any questions Paul and I had about pregnancy, birth, postpartum and everything in between. We finished the course feeling informed, prepared and confident, rather than fearful.

While we were expecting a vaginal birth, our son was ultimately born via an emergency caesarean after around 17 hours of labour. Looking back, I honestly believe Sydney’s course made all the difference.

During my unmedicated labour, her breathing techniques, affirmations, meditations and the BRAINS decision-making framework kept me calm and grounded. When everything changed and a caesarean became necessary, I didn’t panic. Instead, I felt empowered to ask questions, understand my options and make informed decisions. Her course helped me stay open to whatever birth my baby and I needed to have, rather than feeling like I’d somehow failed because the plan had changed.

That mindset made one of the most intense days of my life so much more manageable, and I’m incredibly grateful for it.

If you’re considering hypnobirthing, don’t hesitate. Sydney is an exceptional educator, and her course is one of the best investments we made in preparing for our son’s birth.

I've followed Sydney for years, so when I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to reach out to her for hypnobirthing. My husband and I went into the course knowing absolutely nothing about hypnobirthing, and I had all the usual fears around labour, pain and the unknown so I really wanted to approach birth with a more open mind, learn some practical ways to cope and have enough information and understanding to make informed decisions during the process.

The course completely exceeded our expectations. Sydney has such a calm, reassuring way of explaining everything, and she doesn't shy away from the worries that most first-time parents have. Instead, she talks through them, gives you practical tools and techniques to work through those fears, and prepares you for all the different ways birth might unfold so you feel informed rather than overwhelmed.

What I loved most was that it wasn't about convincing you that birth has to go one particular way. It was about feeling prepared whatever happened. The little prompts, breathing techniques and mindset tools she taught us were easy to remember and gave me something tangible to focus on during labour.
It also gave my husband so much confidence in what to expect and how he could support me so we both finished the course feeling calmer, more informed and genuinely prepared as a team.

I honestly can't recommend Sydney and her hypnobirthing course enough. Whether you're completely new to hypnobirthing like we were or just looking to feel more confident heading into birth, she's incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and creates such a safe space to ask any and every question.

Thank you so much Sydney, we owe our amazing first birth experience to you!

Sydney was amazing! My husband and I did an online course 1-1 before my first baby. I was really anxious about having an induction and a few other things and we discussed it all and when it came to it I was able to stay really calm. I was able to use the breathing techniques she had taught me and avoided any strong pain relief. It really prepared me and made me and my husband much calmer and in control on the day. Thank you so much Sydney!

We really enjoyed our three virtual sessions with Sydney. This was my second birth, and I wanted to feel informed and confident about all aspects of childbirth. With my first, I went in unsure of what questions to ask and what the procedures actually involved and meanings of medical terms. Sydney covered everything thoroughly and in a way that was easy to understand, which helped me feel calm and mentally prepared. I went on to have a really positive birth experience and am so grateful for the knowledge and guidance. Thank you!

As first time parents, the whole having a baby and what to expect at birth was completely new to us. We only had friends and family experiences (people love to tell you their birthing stories).

Sydney went through all the possible scenarios and what can happen. She talked through aspects of the birth i was nervous or unsure of. The most importantly she put things into prospective and gave us statistics and the right information.

I went into my birth with a set of preferences. All of which I was unable to do because of our particular circumstances. This is where Sydney and her course became the most valuable, as we together as a couple were able to ask the right questions, which gave us the confidence to trust ourselves and the decisions we made.

My birth was not what i envisioned but i felt i was not just a passenger, and I felt I part of the decision making process. In the end our son was delivered safely and I had a positive birthing experience.

Finding Sydney was such a a godsend.

She really enabled me to be ready for labour. I had ideas of what I wanted and could handle but through her calm approach she made comfortable with every possible obstacle I could face on the path of meeting my baby.

Her recorded meditations are so peaceful, I also used them when my little one was struggling to sleep and they have continued to help me find my inner calm.

I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Her straight forward approach combined with holistic techniques helped me to feel prepared.

She is so supportive and was there when ever I needed advice including helping me feel informed for going to my final appointments with my consultants knowing I was having my opinions taken into account.

I believe I managed the first stage of labour so well as she guided me so well in our sessions together.

Thank you Sydney , you are a star.

Sydney provides such a safe and comfortable atmosphere during her hypnobirthing classes. She provided us, as a couple, with amazing tools and knowledge in preparation for such a massive experience and put us completely at ease. I had quite a full on birth experience due to circumstances out of our control but utilised all of the tools Sydney had provided and it genuinely helped and made a big difference! Highly recommend Sydney and her hypnobirthing classes and am truly grateful for a wonderful experience!

Sydney is simply fantastic! I did a ‘top up’ session to refresh ready for my second birth, and actually learnt a whole lot more about hypnobirthing with Sydney. I am someone who likes to feel in control of a situation and birth obviously takes the path it chooses, however after my session I felt so much more confident and knowledgeable about different scenarios and had a very positive experience because of this. Which we are so so grateful for!
I particularly love that Sydney has midwifery knowledge and experience. The session was delivered clearly online and the communication we had coming up to my due date was really reassuring.
I have and will continue to recommend Sydney to anyone due to give birth xxx

Sydney was a great support in my twin pregnancy and birthing experience. I was lucky enough to have her living with me at the time so I really got the first hand experience. She is extremely passionate about hypnobirthing and is very knowledgeable as a midwife. She supported me through my birth and was incredible, I really don’t think my birth would have been as smooth sailing as it was if it wasn’t from the knowledge I gained from Sydney. She instilled confidence in my ability to birth my twins and for that I’m forever grateful. I would highly recommend Sydney for hypnobirthing - she is a fantastic teacher!

Sydney was absolutely amazing. The education around labour and birth was unbelievable! It made me so calm as his due date approached, and even once I had finished all my sessions with Sydney she was always just a message away and talked me through those last couple of days! Couldn’t recommend her course more to any expecting parents wanting to be educated and best prepared for welcoming their baby into the world!

Wow..what can I say. I honestly feel so lucky to have found Sydney.

I opted for the online course. I started the process with so many worries and fears. After each video that I watched I felt more and more calm to the point where now I have just finished all 8 sessions and I feel so calm and ready for birth which is something I never thought I would say.

I have learnt so much, all of my questions and fears were addressed and you get some amazing tips and knowledge that you just wouldn’t get from someone that isn’t as highly qualified and experienced as Sydney.

I would highly recommend Serene Birthing to anyone.

Sydney was amazing! I began my pregnancy journey quite terrified of labour and birth. I had been told that it would be painful, difficult and require pain management. This is what I’d heard from friends and social media, which created beliefs that held a lot of fear. I thought Hypnobirthing would be a good place to start addressing the worries and concerns I had. Sydney was incredible in teaching me to reframe and create new beliefs about birth and my capacity to do this in a way that aligned with my values and birth preferences. She prepared and educated me for the interventions that may be offered in hospital and how to advocate for myself within a medical model. There was so much education within the course which I valued.

I really enjoyed my nightly meditations and continued these post birth. Sydney also offered check in messages which were so helpful! As a first time mum, there was so much anxiety so I really valued this.

Could not recommend Sydney enough. Not only does she have a wonderful course, that helped with my labour and birth, she is an incredibly warm and caring person who genuinely cares for the woman she supports. For anyone on the fence about Hypnobirthing, do it! You won’t regret it

We started working with Sydney when I was around 20(ish) weeks pregnant. I wanted to feel educated and empowered as I got further into my pregnancy and prepped for birth. Sydney made each session interesting and informative but mostly she made it feel relaxed. She talked us through everything and made me feel ready and prepared for the “big day”. When it came to my labour and birth I was educated and felt ready! The sessions taught my husband and I that we could advocate for what I wanted safely, but mostly they taught us that my body is doing what it needs to do to bring my baby into the world. The breathing techniques for each stage of labour were helpful and meant I could channel my energy and mind. I know that the techniques, support and guidance Sydney gave me over those weeks supported my labour and birth, which meant that my experience was positive and empowering. I would really recommend working with Sydney!

I had been extremely anxious during my pregnancy and was worried about birth. Sydney helped me and my partner break down all our concerns and gave really clear information which helped us make choices and even relax and enjoy parts of pregnancy. Although my birth was difficult and did end up being assisted, the skills Sydney taught me were invaluable for advocating for myself and my baby and really helped us to understand what happened and why certain decisions were made by the medical team. Sydney is calm, honest and kind and made such a difference to my pregnancy and birth. I would definitely recommend!
