‘I have finally completed 'Bring Relief with your Debrief'.
I really enjoyed it and I think it will be so beneficial to my practice in general. I'm now a
Specialist Bereavement Midwife at GSTT.

I would love to implement it into my work in PAL in the future but really appreciate all your hard work, explanations and the interview and one week progress report. Very powerful.

Thank you for both these courses Alex!’ 

I have completed all of Alex's classes so far.

Learning with Traumatic Birth Recovery fits into my family life so well, I can study in the evenings after work with live evening online classes.

Alex is always so supportive as are all her tutors in the supervision classes, everything is so comprehensive and simplified with easy lifelong access which I find great for dipping in and out of.

I totally can vouch for Traumatic Birth Recovery and all its modules plus Alex's authentic supportive teaching.

'Debrief: People always want to talk about their birth experience and rightly so, but it always bothered me that I may not provide the relief they need during this discussion. This course has taught me to thoroughly listen, without thinking about what to say next.

Most people just want to feel heard and validated, they don't need solutions and I have now supported many people using Alex's trusted technique with great success. We all think we are good listeners, but I certainly question whether I was truly hearing people before taking this course.' 

‘I attended this course with Alex in Glasgow in December 2017 mostly out of curiosity, and it has turned out to be a wonderful skill to have to help my clients. Women report impressive reductions in levels of distress, surprisingly so as this is such a simple technique. I am a doula and shiatsu therapist specialising in pregnancy and childbirth and I frequently come across clients pregnant with their second child wishing to avoid the traumatic experiences of their first birth. I am so glad I have this fantastic skill to offer them to complement my other skills.’

‘I completed the Three Steps Rewind course with Alex last year and found it very comprehensive. I've since used the technique very effectively and love how much difference it can make in a short space of time. It's a tool I very much wish we didn't need but at the same time I'm grateful to have it available for those affected by birth trauma.’

‘What an excellent course. Validating all that I thought was correct and supporting the idea that any listening or debrief service is so valuable to women and professionals. There are so many lessons to be learnt not only from the course but in the way we listen to women and their families about how they have been traumatised (often by the very actions of the people supposed to be caring or advocating for them).’ 

‘I love this, as a midwife and hypnobirthing teacher you have enabled me to really help women who have experienced a difficult birth. I also found the relaxing script excellent and when using on myself I was so wonderfully relaxed and really helped me cope with the blame I put on myself for my mother death many years ago.  I know deep down that I couldn't have changed the outcome but have know accepted it and feel wonderful, I'm so grateful it was worth the £££ just for that!'

‘I'm so glad I was recommended this course as I felt there was a real need to go deeper into this side of my work as a doula. I feel so much better equipped to help women through this very delicate subject and will use this technique with confidence now.

The content of the course is thorough and complete, giving you all the resources and support you need. Many thanks from all the future Mamas that will benefit from this work!

Empowering indeed!’ 

‘This is a fabulous course; I thoroughly enjoyed the videos and coursework. I felt so confident after completing the course and Alex really helped guide me through the process.’ 

'I’ve been meaning to let you know that I've now done 4 sessions of the Rewind technique with clients, all as part of my NHS role. They'd all been referred to my clinic with birth anxiety due to a previous traumatic birth. I had met them all at least once before and offered the session to them and explained what it was, and I've followed them up by telephone afterwards. I've had some lovely feedback from the mums, which is fantastic - and I'm so relieved! I'm so excited about being a practitioner as I'm really going to be able to enhance the care and support I can offer to women and help them have a positive pregnancy and birth this time round, thank you Alex! I've got 3 more mums booked in for sessions later this month and will keep you posted how they go... '

I have absolutely loved doing the TBR 3-Step Rewind. The whole course is laid out in a very comprehensive manner. What's more, anytime I've needed any assistance, Alex has been at the end of an email ready to help and give sound advice. I would highly recommend training with Alex and am already looking at which of her courses I would like to sign up for next.

I cannot emphasize enough the quality of the courses offered by Traumatic Birth Recovery. I like each and every one of them. They have given me concrete assets, which have greatly enriched my practice. 

I really enjoy practicing TBR-3 steps rewind and witnessing the effectiveness in the lives of the mothers I work with. This work contributes to the emergence of a new paradigm in families well-being and mental health. I also appreciate the community of students and practitioners that we train and the exemplary availability of Alexandra to support us in this work. Grateful to be part of it!

 ‘I am a Former Midwife and have had my own Birth Biz for 6 years, teaching Hypnobirthing and working as a Doula.  In all of these roles I have more times than I care to remember looked after/taught women and their partners who have have experienced trauma in birth. Birth trauma sadly is something that historically is often underplayed, ignored, glossed over.

The attitude 'Just be thankful that your baby is alive'! Whilst of course any parents would be beyond grateful for a well baby we must stop implying that women and their birth partners don't matter. A healthy baby + an emotionally traumatised mama is not what we should be accepting.  Working on reducing the likelihood of birth trauma is something that I very much do in my Hypnobirthing & Doula roles but I needed something else, a technique, skill that could help me to assist those who sadly have already experienced trauma and are living with the effects every day!

That is where I began to follow the very awesome Alex Heath and the inspiring work she is doing to support women and couples who have experienced birth trauma.

The online course was fantastic, the video's Alex included and the written material were wonderful and kept me engaged, I literally couldn't put it down! So this is now another element to my Birth work, offering the amazing 3 Step Rewind Technique. I had may first client earlier this month, I have to admit I felt pressured, this lovely lady was extremely traumatised, I couldn't get my head around how such a simple to do technique delivered in just two sessions could make such a huge difference. It literally was like waving a magic wand, the change in the lady was tangible! Something lifted and released and it was beyond wonderful to be a part of.  

I have already received so much interest in the sessions and feel privileged to be able to offer this amazing technique x The support I have received from Alex herself and the online community has been wonderful, you feel very supported. I really can't thanks Alex enough, this course and technique are game changers for me, women, partners, babies and I am so pleased to be a part of it x.’
