What people are saying abot working with Jess

  • HypnoBirthing

    Jess created such an incredible experience for us with her hypnobirthing classes. Jess was warm, a lovely presenter, the classes were super informative and she was always willing to answer any questions we had.

    I'd highly recommend her (and the hypnobirthing course!). My partner and I both now feel ready and equipped to have the birth of our dreams!

  • HypnoBirthing

    My partner and I did the 5 week hypnobirthing course with Jess and loved it. Jess is so warm and friendly and offered plenty of time and space to discuss our questions.

    The classes were a great mix of content and relaxation and breathing activities, and I especially appreciated the emails in between classes with extra resources and things to focus on and practise.

    I’m now feeling so much more confident discussing my birthing preferences with our care providers and looking forward to spending the final stage of my pregnancy preparing for birthing. Thanks Jess!

  • HypnoBirthing

    Mitch and I are so thankful for Jess’s knowledge and Hypnobirthing class in the preparation of our first baby girl. The relaxation techniques were wonderful throughout the whole process and through labour at home.

    The midwives told us after they were astounded with how calm everything was, the breathing methods used and the support from everyone involved in the birth. They were respectful of our requests during the birth and requests as the journey changed.

    Our little girl didn’t quite make it naturally but we were able to ask the right questions throughout the process to stay informed, calm and have faith in the turns our birthing journey took.

    Thank you Jess for enabling us with the knowledge to be confident and comfortable in our journey! And we welcomed the calmest little girl into the world, she’s just happy to have room to stretch out now!

    It’s a crazy journey but a beautiful one that I am in awe of my body and its capabilities and its bounce back from everything, one day at a time learning now with our Tully but we are over the moon!

  • Breastfeeding Consult

    Jess made me feel comfortable and relaxed from the minute she arrived. With a gentle and reassuring approach she helped bubs and I with our latch and our feeding journey has continued in a very positive direction.

    We could not recommend Jess enough.

    Her email summary of our session and follow up text the next day shows she is invested in our journey being a positive one.

  • Breastfeeding Consult

    Jess was really helpful offering support with breastfeeding during the first couple of weeks with my newborn. She was quick to be able to come out and see me at my house and provided some strategies to help on our feeding journey.

    Jess was also diligent to check in with me multiple times after the consult to make sure we had continuous support.

    I would recommend Jess to other mothers looking for help from a lactation consultant.

  • HypnoBirthing and Breastfeeding 101 Class

    I am based in Ireland and did a series of classes one to one with Jess online. She was so accommodating with the time difference for our classes.

    I felt very at ease during the classes, I could ask lots of questions, I had a lot as I didn’t have a clue!!

    We covered lots of topics surrounding my pregnancy and birth and breastfeeding journey.

    I was so excited to meet my son and couldn’t wait to give birth, Jess had me so well prepared for the experience.

    Would absolutely recommend Jess to everyone who is pregnant.

  • Breastfeeding 101 Class

    My husband and I attended a virtual “Breastfeeding 101 - Antenatal Breastfeeding Class” with Jess and we found it incredibly informative.

    Jess delivered the information in an accessible way and covered many different topics. We feel so much more informed and as prepared as can be for the breastfeeding journey.

    As an IBCLC (lactation consultant) Jess is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about breastfeeding

  • HypnoBirthing

    We really loved the classes with Jess and feel that we have learned so much. We are so grateful to have had her kind and gentle guidance.

    I am feeling relaxed and ready going into the final stages of pregnancy and preparing for birth and my partner feels equipped with knowledge and tools to support me in labour.

    Going through pregnancy and connecting with different women who work in this field has been so enjoyable and I feel fortunate to have been supported by such amazing women.

    I highly recommend the HypnoBirthing course with Jess.

  • Birth Trauma Resolution Therapy

    I had 3 sessions with Jessica.

    I found the sessions to be really helpful. I had an unease around my second birth, a feeling that I missed out and why did this happen to me 😫

    The sessions eased all of that and made me feel completely settled with what happened and no triggered reaction. The awareness that what happened happened and it wasn’t great but it didn’t have its hooks in me anymore.

    This style of treatment works very fast in my opinion.

    Jessica is very caring gentle and reassuring.

    If there is any unease around your birth definitely have a few sessions.

  • Labour and Birth Preparation Class

    Had a private online labour & birth preparation class with Jess today, couldn't recommend her enough! I feel so much more at ease after speaking trough some things that may/may not pop up in the coming weeks, Jess also emailed me afterwards with lots of helpful tips to prepare both my body & baby for birth/labour in the coming weeks.

    Really enjoyable class with lots of information :)

  • Labour and Birth Preparation and Breastfeeding 101 Classes

    My partner and I were privileged enough to attend two private classes with Jess prior to our baby’s arrival.

    We did the birth and labour class, then her antenatal breastfeeding class, both of which are fantastic in combination with each other. We are now going into labour and beyond feeling confident, prepared and most of all excited.

    She also has postnatal classes we can add on at a later stage if we are needing more support through the fourth trimester.

    Thank you so much Jess!

  • Breastfeeding Consult

    I just had my first baby, and once home from hospital felt that I needed 1:1 support on how to breast feed. I was trying to feed my little one, feeling very tired/overwhelmed and then asked my doula if she could recommend a lactation consultant. She suggested Jess, who replied INSTANTLY and was able to visit our home the following day. I was told by the hospital midwives that I was “too gentle” when breastfeeding, but I felt uncomfortable with what they were suggesting.

    Jess encouraged a gentle approach and my baby was able to feed for almost an hour. I felt so relieved to have learnt new skills that I could continue to use. Jess stayed with me for quite a few hours, only leaving when I felt confident. After she left I was able to re-contact her and get some clarification to which she responded to really fast.

    Jess emailed me a breastfeeding plan after the session which was easy to understand and follow. Jess had a lovely personality, was able to be humorous with me and very kind. I felt comfortable having her at my home, and supporting me to breastfeed.

    Thank you again Jess.

  • Labour and Birth Preparation and Breastfeeding 101 Classes.

    We were gifted a voucher for Jess for our baby shower. What a wonderful gift idea!! During our one on one session Jess made myself and my partner comfortable and relaxed. As first time parents we went in to the session not knowing a lot about the birth and beyond journey. Jess had great resources and knowledge, and we finished the session feeling so much more prepared and at ease.

    Highly recommend, and very thankful for Jess!!

  • HypnoBirthing

    When I was in my 3rd trimester of my first pregnancy, I did HypnoBirthing with Jess. She is very professional, organised and easily approachable. During our sessions, I felt very relaxed and supported. The content was very relevant to me and my partner. 

    I trusted Jess, as she has ample experience with labour and birth. I felt that hynobirthing with Jess prepared my partner to support me in labour and birth. When it was time for the day of my labour and birth I felt as prepared as I could be for the journey ahead of me. I was very happy with the outcome of my birth and see it as a positive experience. 

    Thank you Jess.

    A wonderful friend and colleague that was always at the end of the phone for breastfeeding advice. So reassuring during pregnancy and the postnatal period.
