The Mindful Birth Group® Reviews 154

An amazing experience! Rhonda was amazing and knowledgeable and really put our minds at ease. We left feeling so much more empowered and confident. We went into these sessions feeling overwhelmed by all the information available out there and now we can confidently say the classes helped us process and understand everything.
Rhonda was so wonderful and open and you can see she truly cares! We have recommended her to everyone who is currently expecting!

We had a great experience with the Mindful Birth Group. Rhonda was fantastic at leading us through the material in a natural way, while tailoring specifically to our circumstances. Thank you so much for all your help!

Me and my wife used the Mindful Birthing Group and had Kirsty to do a private course spread across two sessions. Had a great experience throughout, lots of helpful information given and talked through in great detail, and she also has supported us outside of the course as well!

A really organic experience. Our interactions felt designed for our needs and not just ticking off a list. We worked with Laura who has a really affable personality, making us feel comfortable, always able to answer our questions while supporting our anxieties. We looked forward to seeing her as she put us completely at ease.

We are incredibly grateful to have had Natalie via The mindful Birth Group throughout our surrogacy prenatal journey. Her experience, calm presence, and thoughtful guidance were truly invaluable. Natalie provided consistent reassurance and insightful advice that greatly contributed to the comfort, confidence, and overall well-being of our surrogate, while also supporting us as intended parents every step of the way. She took the time to educate, listen, and advocate with care and compassion, making a complex and emotional journey feel grounded and supported. Furthermore the surrogacy hub has proven incredibly beneficial with loads of information and support at hand during the lead up to labour and post birth. We cannot recommend the mindful birth group, Natalie and the surrogacy hub platform highly enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring practice.

Natalie has been an incredible support throughout my two surrogacy journeys. By being there with me through both journeys she has had a greater understanding of the areas that I have needed support.
Natalie has made me feel comfortable to open up and share any worries and anxieties with her calm explanation and knowledge making me feel heard and supported at all times enabling me to have an extremely empowering birth experience. I have felt incredible comfort knowing that Natalie is at the end of the phone.
I will forever be greatful, Thankyou Natalie

Rhonda's warm welcome from the start was heartening, as she took the time to get to know our unique situation as first-time parents and meticulously made the course material clear to us. Every query we had was met with patience, and looking back, the level of understanding and self-assurance we achieved was outstanding. We appreciated the intimate size of our group, which ensured everyone could contribute.Huge thanks to you, Rhonda! You've truly equipped us with the readiness and confidence to embrace our new journey as parents. It's invaluable

We booked a private Mindful Natal course with Jenny in Letchworth and had a really great experience. We started the course with lots of questions and unknowns and without realising it, quite a lot of worries about birth. Throughout the course Jenny provided so much information that put our worries to rest and shifted my mindset to being really excited and positive about our journey ahead. The course itself provided a great level of information - all really interesting and useful but not too overwhelming. We also received some really useful materials to take away and remind us of all we learnt over the weeks ahead. Jenny delivered the course so well and is clearly so knowledgeable and passionate about creating positive birth experiences for all. She answered all our questions and was so empathetic and kind and made us feel completely at ease for the whole experience. Thank you so much Jenny!!!

We had a wonderful experience on the Mindful Birth course with Rhonda. Beyond creating a space for valuable one on one learning, it was a hugely caring, safe and comfortable environment. Rhonda made us feel incredibly well taken care of at all times (not to mention bringing brilliant snacks!)

Nat and Em were an amazing support network throughout our pregnancy and postpartum journey. They are so supportive, kind and knowledgeable with everything and quick to reply and offer advice / a listening ear.

Pregnancy is a rollercoaster and often you can get lost in the system of the NHS seeing different healthcare professionals at every appointment, but with Nat and Em you really feel an element of personal care and someone who really gets you and knows you. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes throughout my pregnancy and Nat and Em provided me with so much support - not just knowledge around how to manage it and nutrition advice, well informed questions to ask my consultant but also a huge emotional support as I navigated this complication.

From the start of my pregnancy journey I really wanted an unmedicated vaginal delivery and was really against a c section. As my pregnancy progressed and so did the GD, it was looking more and more likely I was going to have a planned c section - Nat and Em helped me remain calm, and informed during the lead up to this and I honestly could not have done it without them! Although my birth story was far from what I originally wanted, it was still calm and beautiful and I have nothing but fond memories of the experience!

Following birth Nat and Em offered a wealth of support around c-section recovery, recovery nutrition, feeding nutrition, breast feeding support and sleep support!

I could not recommend having a doula to anyone enough, but even more so Nat and Em as your doulas!

Rhonda - our saving grace!

I initially got in contact with Rhonda to help improve my mental health. Rhonda was understanding and supportive and her mindfulness sessions were excellent. Rhonda would ask what I wanted the focus to be each session and tailored the sessions to me. These sessions allowed me to switch off, reset and focus at a time when I was struggling.

My partner and I then had sessions with Rhonda at our home to learn all about our choices regarding birth. The sessions were interactive, informative and most importantly we had fun. I cannot thank Rhonda enough for these sessions. She has a wealth of knowledge and answered any questions we had (even if off topic!). We left each session feeling empowered and informed, knowing we could make the right choices for us and feel confident in our decisions. When it came to birth preferences we both had the information we needed to make informed decisions. Word of warning - she is a feeder, bringing the best treats!

Her support throughout pregnancy has been invaluable, always at the end of a phone. Rhonda’s love for empowering parents-to-be is clear - she is a special human being!

I cannot recommend The Mindful Birth course enough. Rhonda created a calm and welcoming atmosphere from the get go, she was kind and supportive which really put me at ease. After the first session, I went from feeling quite nervous and anxious about birth to feeling calm and empowered. She covered so much valuable content in the sessions, which helped me understand my options and feel prepared for any eventuality that may come.

If you are trying to decide whether to sign up, just go for it. I really can't recommend Rhonda and the Mindful Birth course enough.

Thank you so much Rhonda xx

Emiliana was just incredible. As first time parents she covered all the topics that prepared us for our little arrival. The way she educated us put us at ease but also generated discussions between my partner and I that we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves. We just loved the sessions! Thank you!

Natalie is a gift sent from the heavens! The service provided really helps parents-to-be feel at ease and get a sense that "it will all be ok". No question is stupid and there is no judgment when asking "simple" questions. We looked forward to our calls with Natalie and always felt there was support available.

We connected with Emiliana through our surrogacy agency. Pre-birth we had a couple of online calls to help us prepare for the birth and the early weeks. Since our daughter was born, Emiliana has checked in with us regularly and we’ve found this support incredibly valuable. Having someone at the end of a WhatsApp message to ask quick questions and check in has really helped us, especially as we are undertaking our surrogacy journey abroad and away from our regular support networks. We’ve found the information on the circle app we got access to really useful and regularly check this to give ourselves reminders. Overall this has been a really useful service for us.

Our sessions with Emiliana were brilliant. She made us feel so relaxed and tailored the sessions to our needs. As Intended Parents, we found the sessions very informative and felt prepared for the arrival of our little girl. Emiliana has provided a lot of support to us and our surrogate throughout our journey and continues to check-in with us since the birth of our daughter.

I would highly recommend to anyone going through a surrogacy journey.

Natalie, where do we even begin?
Connecting with the Mindful Birth group was truly a magical experience, and meeting you felt like finding exactly what we didn’t even know we needed. From the very first conversation, you listened with such genuine care and compassion, taking the time to understand our unique journey.

Your calm presence and thoughtful guidance provided exactly the right kind of support, both before and after the birth. It never felt like too much or too little, just perfectly attuned to what we needed in each moment. The advice you offered was not only insightful but also deeply personal and practical, helping us feel empowered and prepared.

We are so grateful for your wisdom, warmth, and the space you created for us during such a transformative time.

I can’t recommend Emiliana highly enough as a doula. From our very first prenatal sessions, she helped me feel calm, confident, and genuinely supported—something I never thought possible given my deep fears around pregnancy and childbirth. She also made sure my partner felt informed and involved every step of the way.

Emiliana was an incredible source of reassurance and support throughout the lead-up to the birth of my second baby - and beyond. She’s warm, deeply knowledgeable, and always quick to respond—especially when I was feeling anxious.

Her support has continued during my postnatal recovery, both mentally and physically, through visits to my home that have made a real difference. I’m so grateful for everything she’s done.

We also attended The Mindful Birth Group’s hypnobirthing course during my first pregnancy which was amazing and so empowering!

The things Emiliana is doing to support not only pregnant couples, but also new parents, is inspiring!

Thank you for everything —I hope we stay in touch!

Emma was an amazing teacher. What we learned during the course was invaluable in the birth of our daughter. We felt prepared and informed. A fantastic course.

Laura is simply the best support you could wish for surrounding all aspects of birth. Her knowledge, skills and mindset was exactly what me and my partner needed to help bring us together, Inform us and give us the tools to help create the birth we're really hoping to achieve. Can't recommend her enough. Thanks for all your wisdom and support so far Laura.
