You will learn more about how the brain works; tried and trusted techniques like mindfulness, visualisation and reframing; how to let go of fear and maximise oxytocin; what to try if labour slows or stops; positive techniques for the worst case scenario of birthing without your partner; hypnosis ‘scripts’ for your partner to record; decision making tools; and your human rights in childbirth.

Testimonials
“Thank you so much for such a fantastic resource! I, like many other pregnant ladies right now I’m sure, have been feeling very anxious and the strategies and resources in this pack are just invaluable in trying to navigate these strange times. I have found the audio tracks really, really useful and been listening to them every night. Love them. The resources at the end are also brilliant…Thanks so much for making such a positive difference at a really challenging time.”
Kirsty Woods
“I’ve found the pack informative, reassuring and empowering. I’m so grateful to you both for developing such a wonderfully useful and practical resource so quickly. Really shows how responsive you are to the needs of women in this current pandemic. Thank you.”
Hannah Hitchcock
“I am 39 weeks and had planned a home birth. The Rescue Pack has really helped me mentally prepare for change and still use all my home birth tools in a birth centre environment. I have completed a separate hypnobirthing course however the Rescue Pack has really refreshed how I feel and given me the power I need in these challenging changing times!
The course made me feel like I wasn’t alone with my thoughts as well…and that I wasn’t being irrational still wanting an amazing birth given the circumstances.. I was starting to feel like I should just get over it… but that is so not the case!”
Victoria McAleese
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Milli & Sophie. During pregnancy I read Milli’s Positive Birth Book and Sophie’s Mindful Hypnobirthing and then purchased your Rescue Pack on Friday and listened/watched it all that day. It proved invaluable when I went into labour on Friday night and then ended up giving birth to my daughter early Saturday morning with my husband delivering her on our dining room floor rug! All a bit crazy and dramatic but between the knowledge I’d gained from your books and the tips and audio tracks from your online course, I managed to birth my baby quickly and naturally with paramedics arriving 10 mins after she entered the world! Seems the skills I learned made me so relaxed and confident that the hospital didn’t believe I was in established labour hence the unplanned freebirth!”
Laura Reid
“I am so grateful to have found this pack during this pandemic. I have definitely struggled to cope at times with the ever changing news surrounding birth at this time. Having to accept I will no longer have a home birth or attend a midwife led unit but instead visit the labour ward with potentially no pool was difficult as I am only 2 weeks away from my due date. As well as facing the concept I may birth alone.
However, and a very big HOWEVER, I now feel well equipped for any situation, any setting and anything else that could change. The rescue pack doesn’t just provide the tools we need for a positive birth, but it restores hope and empowers you to regain the excitement for meeting your baby.
Thank you so much Milli and Sophie. Every woman giving birth at this time needs to download this pack ASAP”
Lottie Burton
“We are having our second baby very soon and although I already have Sophie’s books (which have been incredibly helpful and empowering), there is no doubt in these troubling times that my anxiety around birth has escalated. This Rescue Pack was an absolute gift in the face of isolation in Lockdown, a toolkit to combat the self doubt and worries that I have been feeling. Thanks to this e-pack I’m going into Labour feeling much more confident and supported, like updated revision notes before exams! Thank you Sophie and Milli.”
