From 16 weeks into my pregnancy, I attended Gaby's Pregnancy Aquarobics classes and found them most enjoyable. Not only did I feel great after the exercise and relaxation, but the knowledge and positive vibes that Gaby passed on to us women was invaluable. Fantastic to be amongst heaps of pregnant women also!

Around 26 weeks, I went along to Gaby's "4 week journey In" classes which had a strong focus on hypnosis in birthing. Gaby went through stages of labour and how to avoid medical intervention in labour.
This was great and definitely helped me to not fear labouring at home as much as I could. The breathing and hypnosis made the contractions bearable as I surrendered to them and went to that primal place that women go when birthing. I felt empowered and completely trusted my body to function as it is designed.

My partner Andrew was quite reluctant to attend Gaby's "Supporting a woman in Labour" workshop, but because I raved on about how positive Gaby's other workshops and exercise classes made me feel, he agreed. This was the best investment we made. Andrew came out feeling really positive & we shared our feelings about how I would like to birth. Throughout my labour and birth he was amazingly calming and supporting. He knew what to say and do and most importantly, he knew what my body and mind were going through.

I really do believe that if I didn't meet Gaby, I wouldn't have been so confident to birth naturally in a drug free way. With so much negativity and fear surrounding birth these days, it is fantastic that Gaby is restoring women’s faith in themselves to birth naturally without fear.
