It's very personal to write a review for Shaz because she was with me during a very emotional…read moreexperience in my life. Not only did she help me learn how to use relaxation and hypnosis through hypnobabies courses, I was lucky enough to have her as my doula 2 years ago for the birth of my daughter. Shaz has always stuck out as the bright side and positive thing to remember about my birthing process. I still believe there is something magic in her hands as she made pain go away when she touched me. Her soft voice and genuine care was exactly the support one needs for an unmedicated birth. Even after these years, my husband and I still speak of her often. I'm compelled to share my appreciation for how good she is at what she does now that I'm expecting soon again, it puts in perspective just what a blessing someone like Shaz is.

My husband and I are first time parents. We took the Hypnobabies course with Shaz Rahman last year…read morein May 2021 and our healthy baby boy was born in September 2021. Shaz was amazing, she prepared us with tools to overcome the anxiety that came with pregnancy, the birth itself and the aftercare for both myself and our baby. We had a hospital birth and Shaz's guidance helped us understand our choices that helped us make informed decisions for the pregnancy and birth. At the birth itself, we were ready to welcome our baby and were relatively calm thru the birth. During the 6 week course, Shaz was a super positive, humorous and engaging instructor. She was super encouraging as well when it came to homeplay and weekly updates. This helped us stay on track and continue practicing the techniques. I'd recommend this course for any first time parents that want to make informed decisions, have a natural birthing experience and handle any pre-birth jitters and pregnancy insomnia! :) SHAZ You're the best!!!

The speakers each week are so helpful and supportive to answer all questions and facilitate discussion. The space is beautiful and peaceful with many close restaurants to meet up and go out with the other moms and babies before or after group. I did the newborn group and all babies were grouped within a few weeks of each other. Now my baby is 7 months old and I still connect with our group chat weekly to share wins, ask for recommendations, and connect with our cohort. If you are on the fence about investing in this group, you absolutely should sign up. It was a great way to build my confidence in taking my baby out on my own and all the women encouraged me to feel confident in becoming a mother for the first time! I have many friends with kids, but a lot of them aren't in the newborn stage anymore. It really helps to have people in your corner that are also in the same stage. You won't regret it and will start recommending it to all the other moms you know!

Choosing to work with Madi was hands down one of the best choices we made for the birth of our first child. She brings such a calm, kind, and grounding presence which is exactly the energy you want in the room while laboring and giving birth. Her warmth, knowledge, experience, and steady support made a huge difference. I would rehire her in a second and enthusiastically recommend her to anyone, especially to first-time moms or anyone planning an unmedicated birth. The coping tools she shared during our prenatal visits were incredibly helpful, and her thoughtful advocacy in the hospital gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. Thank you so much, Madi!

From the consultation call with Rori to the birth with the amazing Wendy, our experience was exceptional.

Wendy was phenomenal - so knowledgeable and supportive- and we were beyond thrilled that she was available to guide us through the last few weeks of pregnancy and, of course, during the birth itself. She answered all our questions and we loved her Tuesday Tidbits. Wendy truly made the experience wonderful and comfortable, and I couldn't recommend her enough.
