Lovely to meet other midwives and students from units throughout Kent
As a new student everything is rather overwhelming, but I felt completely involved during your talk (South Glamorgan Oct.2015) and that there was no difference between myself as a first year and the midwives there with 20 years experience. I felt immediately I wanted to begin promoting hydrotherapy as much as possible. I just wanted to really thank you for inspiring me so much and I find you work in the UK and overseas truly admirable.
Just wanted to say how immensely I enjoyed you study day at UHSM yesterday. I consider myself skilled at water birth my main point is despite these experiences I learnt so much from your study day and I feel inspired. Thank you also for using the word birthed and not delivered.
Thank you once again for the waterbirth study day - it was a fabulous day and brought my reasons for entering this profession back to the forefront of my mind.
As a first year midwifery student normality is my priority and today really inspired my learning. Obviously I have no habits to change or past learning of waterbirth so I feel your day will be the foundation of my learning about waterbirth. I'm eager to read and discover more.
Thank you Dianne for such an important and valuable day it will have an impact on my future career
Fantastic day really empowered me as a midwife and a woman. Will promote and discuss with my colleagues
What a brilliant day! What an amazing Lady!
I would love to be introduced to Dianne. She is such an inspirational midwife and her passion for giving women real choices is infectious.
As a senior midwife and supervisor of midwives it is my aim to promote normality and especially water birth in a safe and sensible way for more women. I also hope to empower more midwives to embrace this and get back to being truly "with women".
Thank you for organizing the whole day-Great!!!!
A wonderful day and will make me feel more confident to provide care to mothers and babies
Fascinating day thoroughly enjoyed the entireday. I learnt a wealth of information thanks to diannes ability to deliver such important enlightening information
I thoroughly enjoyed the study day the use of stories, videos and evidence was very interesting
I facilitated my first water birth since the last Tuesdays seminar last night. I changed my usual routine on several points and I can honestly say I had THE best time! Hot legs came up trumps, cradling the descending head, the lady was on all fours and the lights low and romantic so a mirror would have been useless even if I had one and for the first time placenta birthed in the water. The lady and her partner, third baby, said they also had the best time and the seminar was worth its weight in gold. So thank you once again, it shows at nearly 62 years old this remains the best and most joyous job in the world.
International testimonials
Dianne Garland has worked tirelessly on behalf of mothers, families and health care professionals to provide evidence based education for successful water birth practices in hospital and alternative birth settings. We have had the pleasure to participate in her water birth education and training sessions and now have come to know her not only as a respected professional colleague, but a friend. Dianne stresses that providing care for mothers should ensure the ability to offer a variety of choices safely. Her book, Revisiting Waterbirth, An Attitude to Care provides the reader with the science and physiology as it relates to the mother and her neonate, thereby resolving the mystery of this safe alternative to western medicine pharmacological choices. This is a must read and forever handbook for those interested in honoring the sacredness of birth. Thank you Dianne! Sincerely,
I am pleased to recommend Dianne as a truly expert midwife. I have known her for 25 years, as her student and colleague across the sea! She is an excellent mentor, educator, resource and professional midwife! Her waterbirth education is superb.
I just wanted to thank you for presenting the waterbirth conference in North Texas, USA, last year. Even though I have been doing water births for 20 years, I still learned some new tricks and many of them apply even to land births . Thanks Dianne!
I thoroughly enjoyed Dianne's workshop on waterbirth and was so grateful she was willing to come all the way to India to share her vast knowledge and experience with us. I set up a workshop in a local hospital and the workshop was well attended with excellent feedback. I personally enjoyed the evidence - based research Dianne shared, her stories of her experiences as a midwife and of course the beautiful images and films we enjoyed. She has even gone the extra mile and has sent me books and articles to read. I am a fan!
