“Having Carina as our Doula was the BEST investment we ever made. I had the most incredible, personalised support throughout my pregnancy & Carina helped me overcome my previous birth trauma and gave me a confidence and power I never thought possible. Her extensive knowledge, warmth, kindness (and magic ability to somehow know exactly what you need) make her the perfect person to have on your journey and by your side during your birth. I went from a traumatic hospital birth experience with medical intervention that left me with a lot of fear, anxiety around pain and a lack of confidence in my own ability to birth a baby, to an incredible unplanned free birth at home. When the hospital told me there were no midwives available to send out and that it was in my best interest to come into hospital, I am incredibly proud to say that with the knowledge I learned from Carina & the trust I had in myself, I KNEW I could do a free birth and have my baby boy at home, just like I had always dreamed. It was the most beautiful, powerful experience and both Sam & I felt an enormous sense of calm and confidence with Carina there for guidance. Her support since having our baby has also been absolutely incredible. THANK YOU for everything you did for us”

“We are so grateful to Carina for the incredible support she provided throughout our IVF pregnancy. From the very beginning, she brought so much knowledge, understanding, and calm to what can be a very overwhelming journey. No question was ever too difficult for her, and she always made time to listen and guide us with care and confidence.

Although we had a C-section in the end, the hypnobirthing techniques Carina taught us were invaluable and helped us stay calm, focused, and in control throughout the experience. It just shows that hypnobirthing can be helpful for all types of births, not just natural ones. With her guidance we were fully informed and could ask all the right questions to make sure we had a positive birth experience.

Carina has been a true source of strength and reassurance, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone on their pregnancy journey - Thank you so much”

Carina gave me the tools and knowledge to get me through my labour. I was told I would have to be induced at 38 weeks due to gestational diabetes and that I might not be able to have a water birth. Not only did I give birth at 41 weeks + 3 days, I also had a part water birth with the water monitoring belt, all due to Carina, her course and her knowledge! I felt empowered even though things didn’t go to the ‘ideal/set birth plan’. Radiance Birthing gave me the confidence to ask the important questions before labour and what could be done in every situation. Thank you!

I owe so much to Carina and her course. I will be forever grateful. It was single handedly the most important part of my journey. I cannot express how valuable hypnobirthing was. With Carina’s wonderful guidance and support I was able to have the perfect healing home birth after a traumatic first labour. Carina taught me what was happening in my body every step of the way and it filled me with the knowledge and confidence that my body was more than capable of giving birth without interventions. I had the water birth of my dreams and even caught my baby.

“I will be forever grateful to Carina. Having a complicated and tough multiple pregnancy I can’t stress how much I needed Carina. Her steady calmness and knowledge quite literally lowered my blood pressure and she was always on hand for a catch up. From giving me and my husband great tips and tricks to keep us both calm, to talking us through exactly what to expect and helping a completely clueless me with a birth plan. She gave me the most positive start to my motherhood chapter and for that I will always be eternally thankful”.
