Hey Baby Perinatal Support - Canterbury

Catalina-Ioana M.

Me and my husband just finished our Hey Baby classes and we couldn’t recommend it enough! Sam is brilliant, she taught us so much in a short period of time and has been so caring and supportive throughout the whole process. Not only do we feel like we know so much more now about becoming parents, we also changed our views about a lot of aspects of pregnancy/ birthing/ parenthood. The sessions with Hannah and Frances were also very helpful. 100% recommend!

Sam transformed my experience of childbirth the second time round! My first labour felt intense, unbearable, and I felt very clueless and helpless for some parts. I was in labour for a long time and scared, until the midwives eventually let me have an epidural (I felt I couldn't continue any longer and I'd been begging for hours). I felt that I wasn't listened to during and after my labour.
Sam listened to my story and knew she could help.

I only "found" Sam 2 weeks before my due date, but even with this limited time, Sam fit me in and really helped change my perspective on childbirth.

With the tools Sam provided and taught me, for my second child, I laboured at home with no pain relief until it got to the point I felt I needed to go to the hospital. When I got there I had got to 8cm dilated! I did opt for an epidural again (as, after my first labour, I was still scared of the pain of giving birth) but I made my voice heard, I said what I wanted and we had a lovely birth, followed by the much wanted golden hour (and some!).
I don't feel I would've gotten this far without Sam - even simple breathing exercises that she recommended really helped.

I'm not planning on having any more children, but if I did, I'd speak to Sam as soon as I found out I was pregnant to give us more time to really get into the resources provided.

Thanks lovely 🌹

Sam is a perfect instructor, exuding enthusiasm for positive births. She attended my home for a private course when group classes didn't suit. I found her to be very knowledgeable and pro informed choice. I displayed her affirmations around my home and had the booklet in my birth bag. Although I didn't get the birth I planned I was able to advocate better for my wishes and rights. Thank you Sam.

Both my husband and I attended Sam’s classes. Sam was made for this. We didn’t realise how much we didn’t know - and the fear around birthing. We left feeling informed of our options and feeling confident of how we navigate forward and quite excited to give birth ! No question was left unanswered. The group were great and we were at ease. Sam you’re incredible at what you do. If anyone is hesitant about booking , don’t be.

Highly recommend this course. Sam was brilliant! She had an incredible ability to teach so much but in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming. All of the content was so interesting and so well delivered by Sam that we left each session feeling more and more empowered to make the right decisions for our birth and beyond. Thank you!

This course is an absolute must! I feel so much better about birth and parenting after going to Sam’s classes. Sam is honest and so knowledgeable. She gives you the facts which then you can make your own decisions from. It’s also been so great to meet other parents to be local to us. Thank you so much! Will be recommending to all parents to be I know. ❤️

Francis was very inspiring and taught us so much we would never have thought about. She has extensive knowledge on childbirth as is a midwife, is friendly and fun breaking down the information, and gives you the confidence in yourself to go into the birth.

Incredible. The course has done more for us than we ever thought it could. Sam is just amazing, love her! The attitude and vibe of the course is spot on - empowering, judgment-free, discursive, knowledgeable, interesting, fun.
Would 100% recommend!
