Reviews from amazon:
5.0 out of 5 stars:
by a customer
“My wife used this recording and I was able to listen and help her through the pain of contractions by using the imagery of the ocean waves making it safely to shore. It helped me, as well as her, to focus on getting through the contractions and resting, in between. I highly recommend this recording to all pregnant women and their partners.”

“I had read an article about using hypnosis as a technique for getting through labor. After a 24 hour labor with 3 hours of pushing with my first I was desperate to try anything (breathing through it is a joke!) I fell asleep every night with this recording. Everything she said came back to me during labor…get her An Easier Childbirth book. She has the text in there and you can either make your own recording or have a friend recording it. Regardless, the book is invaluable too. I just found out today that I am pregnant with #3 and the first thing I did was reorder the recording and book because I gave the originals to a friend when I thought that I was done having children.”
Reviews of previous birth visualization CD:
“Peterson – a family therapist specializing in childbirth – gives clear expression to the body’s wisdom in her recording, Body Centered Hypnosis for Pregnancy, Bonding and Childbirth. Messages such as “Family waits for you already” offer comfort, while the guided breathing and visualizations remind us in dreamlike ways of what we already know. Many women build shrines for the coming child: this recording demonstrates another way to connect with the baby within.”
_____ – Joan Logghe, Mothering Magazine
“Gayle Peterson uses vocal techniques, intonations and symbols to encode messages the body and address emotional concerns which affect the pregnant woman during pregnancy and birth. Techniques for reaching the unconscious, such as tonality, phrasing and cadence are embedded. The language and images are a lovely form of labor ”
