First Steps Gentle Guide Review (GBP 13)

First Steps Gentle Guide at a glance

First Steps Gentle Guide is a downloadable book of emotional support for people going through the wait of the fertility journey, whether wondering, in tests or treatment, or waiting for results. The seller says it contains five short calming practices including a guided visualisation, a simple private daily check-in with space to write, and honest chapters on the harder parts of the journey. It is written by Gwendoline Gould, who the page says spent over 35 years in NHS nursing and midwifery before training as a clinical hypnotherapist, RTT practitioner and EFT specialist. The page says plainly that the book will not diagnose, treat or promise an outcome. The price is GBP 13, and the guide may be reprinted for personal use but not resold.

What the seller says you get

A book of emotional support for the waiting period: five short practices for the hardest moments, including a guided visualisation, a private daily check-in with space for writing, and chapters on the more difficult parts of the journey. The page says it is for people waiting on tests, treatment or results and wanting company, not a cure.

No page count, contents list or sample page is shown.

Claims and honesty

The page states that the book will not diagnose, treat or promise an outcome, which is the right framing. The author's background (more than 35 years in NHS nursing and midwifery, and later training in hypnotherapy, RTT and EFT) is the seller's own statement, and this site has not checked it. Some of those techniques have limited scientific support, so view the book as comfort, not clinical care.

Price and guarantee

GBP 13 once. A "100% Satisfaction Guaranteed" badge appears in the checkout area but no number of days or refund steps are given. When we loaded the page the order total read 0, so check the amount before paying. Sterling pricing may add a card conversion fee for non-UK buyers.

First Steps Gentle Guide FAQ

How much is First Steps Gentle Guide?

GBP 13 once, according to the seller's page.

No. The page says it does not treat or promise an outcome. It is emotional support for the wait.

Gwendoline Gould, described on the page as a retired NHS nurse and midwife and a clinical hypnotherapist.

The bottom line

One of the more honest offers of its kind: it states what it is (company for the wait, not a cure), names a human author with a stated background and keeps the price low. Weak points: no page count or sample, a guarantee badge with no terms, and credentials we cannot verify. A gentle, low-risk purchase if the theme fits, but this is emotional support, not fertility advice.
