Hi Gordon
Congratulations, that is fantastic news. You must have worked really hard to have us up there at the top of the search engines. On behalf of all us parents, thanks for helping make our quest for a gentle birth so much easier and on behalf of us practitioners an even bigger thanks for creating a website that benefits us all. It really sums up the philosophy of HypnoBirthing, working together in 'taking the world by calm.'
Kind regards
Catherine
