Nancy E Allin, CHt, CC

We were referred to Nancy through our birth classes with Wendy Dean and it was instantly a great match. We were expecting our first child and were keen to have a low intervention hospital birth. We had not considered hypnobirthing but found the sessions with Nancy and the practice at home invaluable at the birth. Nancy had a calming confident presence during the birth which was short and intervention free.My husband had been reluctant to have a Doula as he was worried this would take away from his support role. Nancy was great at helping us to work together as a couple through the birth. We had an amazing birth experience which brought us closer together as a couple and we are both in no doubt, that it wouldn't have been such a positive experience without the preparation and support Nancy provided.

After experiencing a very difficult hospital birth with our first child, I realized I needed support to look forward to the birth of our second child with anticipation versus fear. I was excited to discover a doula that would provide both emotional and physical support for our planned home-birth, but also hypnotherapy in advance to help me heal my fear and alleviate the tension I knew could get in the way of an easy second delivery. Nancy was amazing! The hypnosis for birth training was so grounding and helped me clear out the anxiety I was holding onto. It also gave me tools and self-confidence during labor. Nancy's calm presence and confident support helped both my husband and I throughout labor. My son was born at home, just as we dreamed. Thank you, Nancy, for helping make that possible!
