Laura was amazing throughout the Rise & Glow hypnobirthing course. Have recommended to all expecting parents to help conquer the uncertainties around pregnancy. Helped me so much in changing my feelings towards birth and my role as a dad!
Laura is an extremely friendly and knowledgeable hypnobirthing instructor. She provided me with the tools and techniques to feel confident and prepared for the birth of my second daughter. I thoroughly enjoyed attending her class and would fully recommend.

I attended Laura’s course to enhance my birth doula services. I learnt lots of new techniques to help birthing people during their labour. The room, set up and content were all really informative and professional. Really enjoyed the 3 week course and would recommend to anyone that is pregnant and interested in hypnobirthing. Emmadoula x
A great workshop with Laura! I learnt so much and Laura made me feel so much more relaxed, positive and stronger with everything. The interactive breathing and massage activities were great! I would definitely recommend a session/workshop with Laura. She is very knowledgeable, calm, positive and great learning aid. 5* from me!
Laura is a god send! Absolutely amazing soul. I came across Laura's Page Rise and Glow births on Instagram and decided to have a look and check out the website. I was so happy to find someone local that teaches hypnobirthing and supports mums to be and mums already. There is so much helpful information and the classes are very detailed. I would 100% recommend Laura's courses.
We have just finished the Rise & Glow birth preparation and Hypnobirthing course, and cannot recommend it highly enough! Laura is a fantastic teacher, very knowledgable and empathetic. She has really helped us feel prepared and excited for the birth of our first child. For me, the best part has been learning the science behind what your body goes through during labour. We have also gained some great techniques and tips, which I’m looking forward to putting into practice, whatever kind of birth we end up having. Thank you Laura!
My husband and I attended Laura’s hypnobirthing course as we wanted to feel prepared and find out more on what to expect from birth. Before taking the course, I viewed birth as something scary and painful that I was dreading, but I can confidently say after attending I was looking forward to meeting my baby! I felt much more calm about birth and gained a lot of knowledge on what to expect, the science behind what happens at each stage and how best to cope with it. I ended up having a positive water birth and it was an amazing experience. Laura was really friendly, positive and was happy to answer all the questions I had. I would definitely recommend Rise and Glow Births to anyone who may be contemplating it, it is definitely worth it!
We completed the Ultimate Birth Preparation Course with Laura to prepare for the birth of our first baby. It particularly helped me as a birthing partner as there was plenty of information surrounding what we can do to help during labour. I really loved the practical elements of the course - it gave us a good view of different birthing scenarios and how to be confident whatever happens. It was a really good experience for us as parents to be to complete the course together, we felt it was a real bonding experience as well as educating us through what could be a nerve-racking time. We are both feeling much calmer going towards labour and looking forward to our new arrival. I would recommend this course to any other couples and especially any new fathers-to-be!
My partner and I completed Rise and Glow’s Hypnobirthing course and we cannot recommend this enough. We are expecting our first baby in September and decided to look into Hypnobirthing after a recommendation from a friend. The Rise & Glow course was really informative and helped us to feel much calmer and prepared for our baby’s birth. We have learnt so many practical tools that we can take with us into labour and the opportunity to try out different breathing techniques and relaxation exercises during the sessions with Laura was really beneficial, as it’s probably something we would have struggled to do properly on our own! My partner found it particularly useful to help define his role as a birthing partner and I’m really grateful that through completing this course we’ve had the opportunity to discuss our preferences together and my partner feels much more confident. It’s really reassuring knowing that he knows how to best support me on the day! Laura was extremely knowledgeable, and we really valued her sharing her own experiences and insights of how Hypnobirthing can work in practice. Laura was so supportive during the course, offering us additional recommendations based on our questions which really helped compliment what we were learning. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the course and we are now really excited for the birth of our first baby. Thank you Laura!
If you’re considering hypnobirthing then you can’t get better than Laura. If you’re not sure about hypnobirthing then again book a class with Laura. You’re in safe hands! We were recommended hypnobirthing by my midwife as I had a long time anxiety around birth. I read a little about it before the course, but Laura’s course is thorough so you don’t need to! We did the group course and it was lovely meeting the other couples too! Laura goes through all the science in the course which for me was really important as in the past I have struggled with things like meditation. But actually linking the breaths and tracks to increased hormones like oxytocin which are an important element to progressing labour made a big difference to me. Laura goes through lots of other elements in the course too from practical elements like the breaths and labour positions to learning about the pelvis to making your own aromatherapy blend and more. The goodie bags have lots of helpful bits too. Laura also offers support leading up to birth and we had a check in that happened to be just days before our little one arrives. She also really helped us when we couldn’t attend a class and we’re having a tough time with my Dad in hospital and was so kind and accommodating. We really appreciated it. Plus her example birth plan was so helpful in forming our own! That really helped with ensuring we had what we needed down and our midwife was impressed. When it came to the birth the breathing techniques were fundamental in handling the contractions. I used the hypnobirthing tracks and breathing whilst labouring at home and nothing else. When I got to the hospital I was already 6cm! Due to being 6cm it closed off pethidine as a pain option due to it lingering in baby’s system (there was a mention of epidural but it wasn’t something I wanted and I was handling things confidently enough to not consider it). I had gas and air and a birthing pool (the pool was wonderful at helping the back ache and taking the weight off plus the warmth was lovely). Keeping the room with low lighting was another element from the course and that all helped too! I did struggle a little with some of the contractions but my partner who was on the hypnobirthing course with me got me focused on the breaths and kept counting and brought my mind back. He was so supportive and the course really helped his confidence too as he felt so much better informed. It was so amazing when little one arrived in the pool and the midwife floated him upto me. I feel really fortunate we got the birth we did. It had its moments but what we learnt in the hypnobirthing course helped so much I can’t thank Laura enough! We are hoping as the weather gets better to catch her on the walk meet ups she organises on Peanut. Following her on insta has also suggested some amazing groups and places for our little one so it really is more than just a course and we are incredibly grateful for all Laura does!
