1:1 Birth Preparation Sessions
“We had a brilliant experience with Ellie via a doula Power Hour. It was clear she had taken careful note of the information we shared beforehand, and she prepared plenty of relevant research for us to discuss. We were so grateful for her compassion, insight, and guidance. We left the conversation feeling heard and empowered. We can’t recommend this process enough.”
— Jordan, London
“We booked a hypnobirthing refresher course with Ellie in the run up to the birth of our second baby. I could tell right away, during the initial consultation chat, that she was exactly what we needed. Throughout the two sessions she got the right balance of listening and understanding our previous experience, while offering relevant and practical advice suited specifically to us.”
— Philippa, Bristol
“We enlisted the help of Ellie for a Power Hour session to get my mind back on track and talk our situation through. Ellie went above and beyond to support us. She understood and empathised with our situation and provided so much meaningful and helpful advice. We felt heard when we needed a little reassurance as things became tricky.”
- Alicia, Bristol
“As my due date approached, Ellie’s advice and encouragement were invaluable. Her knowledge helped me remain calm and patient as I waited for my baby. When my daughter arrived two weeks past my due date via a calm, planned caesarean agreed through informed consent, I felt supported and empowered. Ellie helped me use my hypnobirthing tools and feel positive about my first birth experience.”
- Sarah, Backwell
“We were delighted with our birth preparation refresher course with Birth Boss. Ellie took the time to understand exactly what information we wanted to focus on and arranged our sessions at a time that worked for us. The content was practical, easy to follow, and we were able to use it straight away. We loved the affirmation cards and relaxation resources, and the whole experience felt empowering and personal. We truly felt ready to boss this birth.”
— Lucy, Southampton
“Ellie gave me the reassurance and scientific evidence to help me feel confident in my decision, even when it was outside NHS guidance.”
- Alice, Weston-Super-Mare
1:1 birth preparation course
“Before Ellie’s Birth Boss course, I had lots of unanswered questions about the birth process and wasn’t sure how I could best support my partner as a birth partner. After working with Ellie, I felt much more educated about what to expect and what I could do to help support a positive birth experience. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”
- Jamie, Bristol
“My husband and I completed a private hypnobirthing course with Ellie and couldn’t recommend it more. The sessions were friendly, relaxed, and tailored to our specific situation. The course was informative without being overwhelming, and by the end we felt confident, prepared, and supported going into birth.”
— Megan, Southampton
“I couldn’t recommend Birth Boss more to anyone who is pregnant and interested in hypnobirthing. After working with Ellie, we felt confident and empowered to make the right choices for our birth. Ellie is clearly so passionate about what she does, and choosing to work with her was one of the best decisions we made in preparing for the birth of our son.”
— Sara, Nottingham
“I went into Ellie’s course feeling nervous, anxious, and fearful about the birth process. Over the course of a month, Ellie gave us so much knowledge about how the body works, different birth options, and practical hypnobirthing techniques. By the end of the course, I felt calmer, more prepared, and far more confident. Ellie is such a friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable teacher, and the course never once felt rushed. I’m incredibly grateful for the positive mindset and preparation this gave me.”
- Kayleigh, Bristol
“We completed a hypnobirthing course with Ellie and absolutely loved it. We both came away feeling confident and prepared for birth. Ellie delivered the course in a balanced, non-biased way, covering both medical approaches and hypnobirthing techniques. This helped us understand all possible outcomes and feel empowered in our decision-making. We felt all of our questions were answered and would highly recommend working with her.”
— Charlotte, Bristol
“Doing the course as a couple made such a difference. My husband felt involved and confident, rather than like a spare part. Ellie also offered a post-birth debrief afterwards, which was incredibly important to me. She listened carefully and shared her reflections in a thoughtful, supportive way. Ellie is a genuinely lovely person and strikes a wonderful balance in how she delivers her support. I would highly recommend both Ellie and the hypnobirthing approach.”
- Belinda, Sweden
Birth doula support:
“I feel forever grateful for how supportive Ellie was throughout the birth and for how calm, smooth, and special she made the most important day of our lives. People often spend more on weddings than on the birth of their children — yet the latter is far more important. A doula is a very worthwhile investment, especially given the current reality of NHS maternity services.”
— Marcus, Bristol
“Ellie provided invaluable advice and reassurance — whether it was navigating reduced movements, deciding whether to go into hospital, or managing the pressures that came when we passed our NHS due date. They threw everything they had into helping us try to turn the baby (who was back-to-back and asynclitic). Ellie also provided valuable postpartum support, and the debrief we did together was a really special moment that gave us clarity and closure.”
- Anna, Bristol
“After a traumatic first birth, Ellie was everything I needed to navigate my second pregnancy and make informed decisions about my VBAC. Through every wobble and difficult choice, they gave expert guidance, explored all options, and supported exactly what I decided. The difference it makes to be reminded that everything is your choice is huge! Ellie has extensive knowledge about all things birth, and it’s what everyone needs to get the full and individualised picture on their care — something that can be lacking in NHS experiences.”
- Rachael, Backwell
“Their support in navigating the NHS maternity system was especially valuable given my choice to birth at home and outside NHS recommendations. Ellie’s support during labour and birth was exactly what we needed to welcome our baby in the gentle way we’d hoped for.”
— Samantha, Bristol
Postnatal doula support:
“I had a great experience with Ellie. She was incredibly warm, supportive, and knowledgeable, and made me feel so comfortable. Her support helped me transition into motherhood with confidence and compassion.”
- Albessa, Bristol
“Having Ellie as my doula was an absolute blessing during the early weeks of motherhood. She supported me from when my baby was just two weeks old, helping me navigate the fourth trimester and adjust to life with a newborn. Her kindness and care for both of us made a world of difference, alleviating so much of the stress that comes with those early days. Her guidance was invaluable and I always felt reassured by her.”
— Abigail, Nailsea
“We would highly recommend Ellie for both antenatal and postnatal support. She is incredibly knowledgeable, organised, and a fantastic resource to have throughout pregnancy and beyond. Ellie helped me feel confident during pregnancy and provided invaluable support in the early weeks after our baby arrived. Her care was unbiased, informative, and deeply supportive — we couldn’t recommend her more.”
— Julianne, Bristol
birth trauma services:
“I reached out to Ellie for support processing a traumatic birth experience. She was so comforting and helped me feel at ease during a really vulnerable time. I felt listened to, supported, and gently guided through the process. I’m so grateful for the space she created and the care she offered.”
— Emily, Bristol
“Thank you so much to Ellie for two brilliant sessions reflecting on my birth, pregnancy, and infertility experiences. Her warm and compassionate approach helped me feel comfortable immediately, and it was so liberating to talk through my emotions and anxieties with someone outside of family and friends who had heard it all before. I really appreciated Ellie’s patience, genuine kindness, and care. I found the experience incredibly beneficial and supportive moving forward, and I have already recommended her services to others.”
— Louise, Falmouth
“Thank you again for helping me through a really tough situation. Since completing the 3-Step Rewind with Ellie, I feel incredible and honestly can’t believe how quickly and gently it worked. After just three sessions, I felt like my normal self again, even after seeing specialist psychologists for birth trauma for two years. I’ve been so grateful to stay connected with Ellie since the rewind, and my boys also send their thanks for bringing their mum ‘back to life’. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”
— Sarah, Adelaide (Australia)
