Hi Paulette
Following our session, I promised you an update on how the presentation went.
Well, it was today and it went extremely well. The feedback I got from my boss was that my performance was "night and day" compared to my previous effort. A great result!
Thanks for your help.

My daughter had never been dry at night and she was already twelve. We had sought help from our GP and tried all the non-invasive methods of treatment but nothing had worked. I was not happy to accept medication and carried on hoping that things would just click by themselves. They didn't
Paulette, who I knew as a mum at our children's school, said she thought she would be able to help by telling her some stories!! I was very sceptical but thought 'well I've nothing else to try.
Paulette helped my daughter to believe in her own ability to be dry at night and within three sessions she was.
Paulette is brilliant with children; gentle, respectful, insightful and empowering. When a child is helped to understand that they already have the tools they need to help themselves deal with things that are troubling them, it gives them a great strength and self knowledge that spills over into anything they want to do.
We have seen a hugely positive outcome for our daughter and our family and most highly recommend Paulette's work.

A few years back I went to see Paulette Brooks, having suffered with insomnia for at least 10 years. I’d tried everything, but could only ever find short-term solutions, by using sleeping pills, and then in time the insomnia would always come back.
The insomnia was really effecting my life, I was always cold, often had very low energy, and it really affected my jobs and relationships
I went to see Paulette, with very little understanding of hypnotherapy, and an assumption it probably wouldn’t work. Perhaps it would for a while, but I felt like I’d never cure the problem I had completely.
I went for an initial session with her, and we chatted about all sorts of things, and it really got me thinking in a different way.
The second session was much more exciting, as I had no idea what to expect of being hypnotised, and it was both relaxing and interesting. I found it quite extraordinary, and couldn’t wait to tell everybody about my experience. I left Paulette, and as I walked off, I felt incredibly relaxed, but couldn’t help thinking to myself “what on earth did that have to do with my insomnia!”
That night I went to bed and had a great nights sleep, I woke up the next morning and couldn’t believe it. Then again the next night, and it went on, getting better as time passed. It was a few months later when I realised I’d forgotten I’d ever even had problems sleeping that it really hit me how amazing what she had done was.
That was 5 years ago now, and in that last 5 years I’ve had many ups and downs in my life, times of happiness and times of real sadness and stress, but even through these bad times, my sleeping has never been affected, and I’m confident that what changed for me 5 years ago is now just a part of me
I can’t thank Paulette enough for what she’s done, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anybody having problems with sleeping, however big they think the problem might be.

Hi Paulette Firstly I would like to thank you very much for introducing me to Confident childbirth. At first I must admit I was very sceptical but how wrong I was. As much as I can say we both really enjoyed the labour and found confident childbirth techniques were pretty outstanding.
On her due date I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl .My labour began @ 16:00, and I managed to stay at home till 12am, in and out of the bath, tens machine and most of all your techniques. We both were very calm. When I arrived at the hospital I was already 6cm dilated and she was born at 03.30am. No need for any pain relief or instruments, which was fantastic.
If we are lucky enough to have a second baby I will be in touch for a refresher as it’s an invaluable skill. She is a very healthy relaxed baby... so we are very lucky!!
I wish you well and thanks for all of your help and advice.

Dear Paulette
I was very lucky with the labour and delivery, and all my Confident Child Birth classes definitely helped!
The contractions started on the Saturday morning, but were so light that I thought it was Braxton Hicks! I rang the hospital at 9pm as I was having 3 contractions every 10 mins. They said the contractions weren't lasting long enough and I should wait until they lasted 60 seconds each, so I had a bath, took some paracetamol and went to bed. I then got up at 1am and had another bath (at which point my waters must have broken but I did not notice).
I got to the hospital just after 3am and was fully dilated on arrival. My baby turned up 40 minutes later and shot out all in one go like a rocket!!!! I had gas and air but didn't have the opportunity to have anything else as it was all so quick. I made it home by the afternoon of the same day so didn't have to stay in overnight, which I was very pleased about.
All in all I think I was incredibly lucky and pretty much followed my birthing plan, which was a bit of a miracle result. The whole process was not bad at all and I think a lot of it was down to my feeling calm and in control as a result of the Confident Child Birth and feeling prepared.
Anyway, thank you very much for your help, I found our sessions incredibly helpful and would recommend them to anyone - they enabled my to have my perfect birth experience!

Hi Paulette.
I wanted to let you know that my son has gone to bed, slept through the night and woken up happy every night he has spent at my house since we saw you. He has all his toys in his bed with him and feels safe now. So thank you so much for your help. This has really transformed our lives
