Testimonials

Dear Michel and Liliana,
I was looking forward to this weekend as it was the first time for me to immerse myself in something that is of great interest to me since my children have been born - however the course far far far exceeded my expectations for many reasons, but one in particular that stands out for me.....to have an eminent medical Doctor facilitating a workshop alongside an eminent Wise Woman - a truly memorable moment that I will treasure forever. The bridging of these worlds is a lifelong dream for me, so to see it in reality was very special.
There are not the words to accurately express how much I enjoyed the information sessions, but there is a feeling that will stay with me forever and I wanted to say thank you.
With love and thanks for all you have shared with me.

Hello, it's Becky, I was at your course in November, and just wanted to let you know I attended the birth of little Evie Rose, my best friend's first baby, who was born in the early hours yesterday. Your words of wisdom and energy were with me throughout, and to witness such a beautiful birth, at home, in the birthing pool, by a roaring fire, was truly awesome. It was only the second time I have been a "doula" and it has reminded me of the true meaning of everything.
I think without being at your weekend course with Michel, it would have been fine, but having been there gave me that extra knowing to just let it happen and be there to protect Beth. She amazed me and so did you.
Thankyou and best wishes for a peaceful and lovely festive time.

Dear Michel Odent,
I´m sorry for the delay in my answer, i have a dog who has just have nine puppies and it has been very exciting.... It´s funny, do you know what i was reading when she started with labour? your book: "El bebé es un mamífero" and thanks to it i just left the dog alone because my curiosity was too big and i was a little bit afraid....but every thing was perfect when i went to bed. So, my dog say to you "go on with your books, all this stupid humans need them!!" I send you a picture of the day after so you will not think that it´s a bad joke.

To dear Liliana,

Thank you so much for the most wonderful, interesting and fascinating course. I have loved your stories, your humour, your wisdom and have learnt more true midwifery in three short days then in years of 'midwifery' training.

Dear Liliana

A rather delayed but very heartfelt thank you for such a warm, inspiring and uplifting weekend at the beginning of the month. I learned such a lot, was moved by so many stories and also laughed so much - a great combination! Not to mention the fantastic array of snacks and drinks. Please pass on my thanks to Michel - it was such a privilege to sit with him for those 3 days. Now I simply want to help and empower other women in their pregnancy and births - and be the best doula I can be.

Chere Liliana, MERCI.

Je suis très émue de vous avoir rencontrée. Vous dégagez une telle SERENITE, une telle BEAUTE, une telle PAIX. Vous êtes un EXEMPLE. Michel Odent est un homme EXTRAORDINAIRE : tant de connaissances, tant de PASSION, tant de SIMPLICITE. Ce que vous nous avez apporté l'un et l'autre durant ce stage est un TRESOR d'une VALEUR INESTIMABLE.

MERCI.

I would just like to say a huge thank you for the weekend. I feel totally inspired and privileged to have spent the weekend with you both. I feel like I could have listened forever and now I just want to go and let everyone know about things that I have learnt....

I really would recommend this "Intensive Information Course" for anyone interested in any aspect of birth. Michel's incredible medical knowledge and experience with labouring women combines perfectly with Liliana's wealth of stories and spiritual regard of birthing...

...I left the weekend inspired, uplifted and thankful to have spent a moment with Michel and Liliana, their course is a must!
