Alice and Rhys - The Complete Course December 2023
As a first time Mum to be, nearing 30 weeks of my pregnancy, I started to think about the birth in more detail and bought a few books about hypnobirthing. I wasn’t quite sure where to start!I looked at a couple of courses online as well as the local area, and decided to go along to one of Laura’s taster sessions! I could tell straight away how passionate Laura was about helping women experience the most positive birth, no matter the circumstances, and after hearing the positive impact hypnobirthing had had on both her and her partner’s experiences of birth, I decided Laura would be the perfect person to guide us through this journey! As Laura put it herself, she had done all of the hard work, so I didn’t have to - which meant I could put my books down and learn in an environment that worked for me! She also managed to convince my birth partner that the course would be just as beneficial for him as it would be for me!
We opted for Laura’s full course, covering off all the basics of the science behind hypnobirthing as well as tools and tips to take forward to the birth and breaking it down into manageable topics so that it didn’t seem overwhelming! I would highly recommend the full course! For me personally, I found the different breathing techniques Laura taught us for each stage of labour super helpful in terms of preparation.
The added bonus was that as part of the course, we also managed to meet a lovely couple due a similar time to us, and we were able to share our thoughts about birth in a relaxed and non-judgmental environment, fuelled with lots of tea and biscuits! With Laura, I learnt that no question is a silly question and if she doesn’t have the answer to hand, she will make it her mission to find the answer to your question ASAP! While we can’t control the type of birth we have, with Laura’s help, both me and my partner feel so much more prepared and in control, knowing all of the options available to us and how to cope with each scenario. With my birth edging closer, dare I say it, I’m actually looking forward to the birth (which I never thought I’d say before starting the course!)
Thanks so much Laura, we’ve learnt so much and are feeling so much more prepared now thanks to all of the information you gave us! I’ve genuinely found the breathing techniques transformative!
Rebecca and Joseph - The Complete Course December 2023
Myself and my partner are having our first child together.
Like most new parents, we turned to family and friends, books and websites, for any helpful advice in what is to be done. Although it was all useful, it hadn’t helped us go into birthing our child with confidence.
We were then told by a family member about a course we could partake in that may help and be interesting for us. That course was having a “taster” somewhere local to us, so we went, not knowing much about what exactly was to be covered.
At the taster, we met Laura and her husband Craig.
During the presentation, we gained a lot of interest and confidence in Laura’s knowledge and experience, and so we signed up.
Throughout the course we would go on to learn an incredible amount of important information, hear about positive birthing experiences, learn techniques, and most importantly, gain the confidence and knowledge we all need when birthing your child.
We have learnt that this is our experience, we get to make the choices, and are confident in the plan that Laura has helped us create.
We strongly suggest to those that are in need of confidence, knowledge, partake in Laura’s next course.
We thank you Laura, not only for the course including the knowledge and experience as a whole, but for being so very kind and welcoming. We wish you all the best x
Alba and Enrique - The Essentials Workshop December 2023
As a mum to be for the first time there is always a lot of information around that comes to you whether you are looking for it or not. But the workshop with Laura has been one of those that you intended to do and you finish it with an enormous feeling of satisfaction and happiness for having done it! Reading about hypnobirth is always great but having someone that really knows about it explain it and guide you through it is something else. It has helped me and my partner a lot and we are looking forward to live this amazing experience that is giving birth more than ever!

The workshop session with Laura has been amazing. In about 4 hours she gave us an in-depth insight into the hypnobirthing main topics and approach. As a birth partner I was worried that there wouldn’t be too much for me in it but it has been very revealing and I learnt a lot of practical and useful information to put into practice before and during labor that will definitely help me and my partner experience the birth in the best way possible.
