Welcome to Hello Baby!

I’m Laura, and I’m your Mindful Natal® teacher in Brighton & wider Sussex, both in person and on Zoom.

Below is some information about the courses I offer, and a few links to guide you around my website.

How I can support you

I’m a Mindful Natal® teacher, a Birth and Postnatal Doula, and an Infant Feeding coach, with a huge passion for pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester. I’m also the Teacher and Training coordinator at The Mindful Birth Group, supporting the wonderful team of UK-wide teachers and running our Teacher Training three times a year. I also run the Pregnancy Relaxation sessions which we host on our PregnaHub® - so lots of ways that I can support you! (You can get a free 7 day trial to the PregnaHub® by registering here)

Whether you’re planning a physiological or a caesarean birth, my Mindful Natal® courses and support will prepare you for the positive pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience you want, by:

• Teaching you and your birth partner calming techniques, for physical and mental relaxation.

• Delving into how our brain, muscles and hormones work during birth, so we can learn how to help them all work efficiently and most comfortably.

• Building your confidence to be advocates for the birth you want; how to make your voice heard and be supported with your choices.

• Shining a light on - and preparing for - the ‘unknowns’, which often hold the most fear and anxiety.

• Giving you knowledge and power to trust your body, trust your birth and control the things you can.

• Holding and supporting you for the whole of the rest of your pregnancy.

• Thorough postnatal preparation and planning.

• Access to the PregnaHub® with a Hypnobirthing Hub, pregnancy yoga and exercise classes, relaxation sessions, ‘Ask our midwives’ forum, an e-Learning on-demand zone for all your birth and postnatal prep needs, parent and baby yoga and postnatal doula support.

I offer a free phone or Zoom call to answer any questions you may have; just contact me here and I’d love to chat.

Your options for birth preparation with me

You’ll get a bespoke course to your needs, and lots of hand holding. Includes full access to the PregnaHub, a workbook, set of affirmation cards and Hypnobirthing audio album.

Refresher / Masterclass - My private short course (2.5 hours) is £295 and it’s designed for 2nd+ time parents wanting a refresher from a previous Hypnobirthing course, or if you’ve found me very late in pregnancy and don’t have enough time for a full course. Includes full access to the PregnaHub®, a workbook, set of affirmation cards and Hypnobirthing audio album.

Power Hour - If you just need an hour of targeted birth planning then this will suit you. Done over Zoom, we can cover any topic you need, like making a birth plan, choices for a specific birth type, or induction. £99 and includes a 6-track relaxation audio album.
