I cannot recommend Rhian and her Little Dots Hypnobirthing course enough.

I’m a second time mum and as someone who struggles with anxiety, I wanted to get as much advice as possible to help keep me calm during labour, and Rhian’s hypnobirthing course gave me all the tools to do this.

After discovering our baby was breech along with extra fluid late on in pregnancy, we began preparing for a potential c section birth which I was quite nervous about, but after conversations with Rhian she gave us advice specific to our situation to help calm my mind and prepare for different scenarios.
After my waters broke, we opted for an emergency c section in hospital and using the breathing techniques and affirmations Rhian equipped us with, along with her beautiful c section affirmation audio being played in the speakers of the operating theatre, I was able to have an incredible birth - something I did not think was possible with a c section!

Hypnobirthing is a fantastic skill to learn, but Rhian’s amazing guidance and support really makes her course specifically special as her passion and knowledge really shines through and there is nothing too little she is happy to help with.

Thank you Rhian, you were a huge part of our pregnancy and birth story, and we are so grateful for all your help and kind words.

Rhian is fantastic and we can't recommend her course enough!
We went in with little knowledge about hypnobirthing (and we realised that we knew little about birth in general too). She helped us realise how much control we can have over our babies birth. She also increased our knowledge on the different elements and terminology relating to birth, which we would not have known without her help and support.
The course is very welcoming and relaxing and we enjoyed every minute of it. Rhian creates a lovely environment along with the others on the course - even when over zoom!
I have gone from being nervous and scared of giving birth to being excited, Something I personally thought I would never say. And now cannot wait to meet my baby.
Thank you so much Rhian and for the continued support and videos to keep our experience going!

Rhian at Little Dots Hypnobirthing was absolutely amazing! She has a wonderful nature which is very reassuring and she was very informative and calm in her approach! My husband and I feel very prepared and ready to give birth in 11 weeks and will be using all strategies and techniques that we learnt over the duration of the course. Money very well spent and Rhian’s services and advice go beyond the course and the pregnancy! I would definitely recommend Rhian, she is an inspiration! 💗

If I could give 10 out of 5 I 100% would.
I booked a 1:1 course quite early on in my pregnancy because I knew I wanted to hypnobirth and after Googling for a morning I contacted Rhian. She was very efficient and friendly in her response and we soon had our dates sorted. My husband travels for work and Rhian was extremely flexible around our dates. Our first session with Rhian cemented that we 100% had booked onto the right course. It felt like we had an instant connection with Rhian’s openness and friendliness. Whilst there was content which obviously she wanted to cover as part of the course, no question or topic of conversation was ever too much and we were never rushed through our session to finish. I was unsure at first of having zoom sessions but it honestly felt like she was right there in the room with us. The course was informative on labour without being a biology lesson and there was a good balance of slides and conversation to supplement the course content. My husband loved the sessions after being slightly sceptical at first! Having also done NCT, I now would 100% pick Rhian’s course over this in terms of content, flexibility and “realness”.
I had an absolutely incredible birth at Bluebell birth centre in Warwick with no pain relief and used the breathing techniques I’d learnt as well as listening to the MP3s multiple times a week in the lead up to the birth. Rhian prepared us to go in with a positive attitude no matter what the situation was and made us feel as though we had control over what would happen even if it wasn’t in our preferred setting.
I have also had a session post-natally with Rhian after struggling with huge anxieties at having a tiny human and it was better than any conversation with a GP who just wanted to throw anti depressants straight at me even though I wasn’t depressed and just had the very normal new mum anxiety.
I feel like I’ve made a friend in Rhian and would recommend her to anyone looking to build their confidence about labour and learn to relax and stay calm.
Thank you Rhian.

My wife and I took this course together while expecting our second child. We both found Rhian to be a calming influence and her sessions were a great mix of information, practice and open discussions. The birth of our first child was not a negative experience but we both felt much better prepared the second time round having done this course. My wife was able to use all of the techniques in the final weeks and during the labour itself which undoubtedly helped things progress smoothly. As a birth partner the course enabled me to better understand my role and how I could best support my wife through this. I felt a much more integral part of the birth as a result.
We would both absolutely recommend this course to expectant parents, it was more than worth every penny. Thanks Rhian for supporting us in having such a positive experience.

I would definitely recommend Little Dots to anyone expecting a baby. Rhian is very knowledgeable and the course is brilliant. Everything is done with kindness and humour, which really helped me to feel relaxed and comfortable. I have gone through my entire adult life thinking i would opt for a caesarian, due to being incredibly squeamish and fearful of birth. After completing the course i can honestly say i am excited about going into labour and i feel ready and well informed. Thank you Rhian, we will miss seeing you on a Thursday evening! X

I cant recommend Rhian enough, I had looked in to hypnobirthing before I signed up and even before I joined her class she was on hand to offer her support and advice, the course was amazing and myself and my partner got so much from it! I feel so relaxed and ready for our birth. Rhian is amazing and the information she gave has left us feeling so informed.

Thank you so much for all the tools you have given us for a relaxed birth whichever way we birth. x

I had two refresher sessions with Rhian leading up to my third labour after having a positive hypnobirthing experience with my second child a few years ago.

I could not recommend Rhian enough, she completely tailored our one to one sessions to us and concentrated on the areas I felt like I had forgotten or was less comfortable with. She is really friendly and approachable and me and my husband felt very comfortable discussing all areas of labour with her.

It is so beneficial to learn what your body is doing during labour and the techniques you can use to stay in control and ultimately help your body do what it is designed to do.

After our sessions I am really looking forward to my upcoming birth and feel like I have all the tools I require to make it a positive experience even if it doesn't go according to my birth plan.

Thanks Rhian x
