Testimonials

"Laura thank you again, what an absoutely excellent course! I am so pleased we did this in preparation for our first baby."

"Laura was amazing from the very first contact. She was super flexible to our confusing schedule and we couldn’t be more grateful for that.  

We went into the course knowing practically nothing about birth but came out feeling empowered and full of knowledge for our journey ahead. I personally felt fearful of birth thanks to all the horror stories you hear, however I’ve come away feeling so positive that even the negative nellies aren’t bringing me down. Laura is so full of knowledge and she breaks everything down to a relatable level. We have a toolkit bursting at the seams for our birth which we would have otherwise not known about. We are creating our birth plan with informed decisions knowing what is right for us. 

Laura made me proud of my ever changing body with her positivity and the bond I now have with the baby was created through our hypnobirthing journey with her. I could not recommend her more!!"

"Thanks so much for the workshop today Laura! It was excellent and I feel alot more informed and ready to prepare properly. Mike also said he loved all the info that's going to help im and he feels like he learned alot!

Thank you!"

"Laura is amazing! She was so welcoming and put us at ease straight away. She bought so many resources with her which supported understanding all different concepts. Nothing was too much trouble for Laura, she answered all our LONG questions and spent extra time with us, reassuring the both of us. After our meeting, within a few hours she has already sent us further advice and information. We both now feel empowered with our birthing choices and rights. 

Thank you Laura for supporting us on our birthing journey for our little boy. "

"We just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for a great workshop yesterday! We both feel like we learnt so much in such a short space of time and most importantly we felt comfortable and confident with you, which enabled us to share our initial worries with you about birth and parenting - the workshop has alleviated many, if not all, of our concerns. When we left the workshop, we had a chat and reflected on it, and we’re both quite surprised that we are now actually looking forward to the birth! Adam felt it was particularly helpful to learn about the different options of pain relief and stages of intervention and how he can help to advocate for me, as well as how he can support me during labour - before the workshop he was worried he’d feel like a bit of a “spare part”. He was also interested to learn about delayed cord clamping and has now said he would really like this for our baby. The workshop has allowed me to learn different strategies to help me during labour and has also enabled us to develop clearer preferences for our birth plan. Thank you so much, I’d highly recommend the workshop to anyone expecting a baby!"

"I'm so pleased that me and my husband found Laura and her online hypnobirthing classes.

It was a great way for us to think about the upcoming birth and helped my husband to understand how he could support me in the best way possible.

Laura was amazing, so knowledgeable and helpful. She made the course fun, we had lots of laughs along the way and is so approachable. Laura has reached out several times since the course to make sure we have everything we need and answer any questions we have.

When it came to the labour, not everything went exactly to our ideal plan. The skills and techniques Laura taught us meant we both felt empowered, and able to deal with anything that came our way and we were able to work as a team. Our classes with Laura meant we had already considered different alternatives and gave us the confidence to ask the right questions and have the best birthing experience we could. The hypnobirthing got me and my husband through it, and meant I had the perfect birth partner.

Thanks so much Laura, you helped us more than you will ever know!"

"My partner and I learnt so much in our hypnobirthing group sessions in Christchurch with Laura. I went from fearing labour, to being excited for it (which I never thought would be possible). We feel empowered with knowledge and ready for any twists and turns that may come our way. Laura has been so supportive even since the course finished. We are planning a home birth & we would never have had the confidence to go for it if it wasn't for you!"

“I found all the techniques that Laura taught me during the hypnobirthing sessions helped me to remain calm, positive and focused during the birth of my baby. I had a planned c-section but still used a lot of the techniques I was taught. I would highly recommend her.” 

“As a partner & birth partner of my wife, I found joining in with hypnobirthing to be well worth it. As well as supporting my wife through a C-Section using the techniques we learned in hypnobirthing, I found them to be really useful for myself! It's a beautiful & stressful time for all three of us and it was made that much easier through hypnobirthing." 

"Giving this course a go was the best decision ever!
I’ve always felt pretty calm about birth, however, without necessarily realising, I did have some fears there that I’d kept on ignoring. The sessions with Laura (and the other parents to be) helped me realise and work through those fears to the point where I’m now looking forward to the birth of my baby boy even more - regardless of how or when it happens! I feel so much more informed and prepared now which has led to a new confidence to ask questions in my antenatal appointments and make sure I get answers I understand.
If you’ve ever thought about trying hypnobirthing, Laura’s your girl! Thank you so much!!! 🙏"

“We really enjoyed your hypnobirthing course, it was informative, interesting and exciting. Although it was over zoom and not in person, you made it feel personal, you created a lovely vibe and you were super friendly :)

The information and guidance provided has helped both of us with our overall view to birth and has given us confidence in both ourselves and in each other. The hypnosis and relaxation tools have already come in handy, and the MP3s provided with the course will definitely be used on the day to help mum to be get into the zone, thank you for these.

We are a good team and bring out the best in each other, but with your help in our new journey together, we know that we can do this, we will do this and my body was made for this =) Thank you Laura and best of luck with your exciting new Hypnobirthing teacher journey.” 

“I initially wanted to do a hypnobirthing course as I had read some information online regarding the positives that come from it. I also felt extremely nervous and unorganised when it came to the actual labour side.

Laura put me at ease and has increased my confidence more than I thought by going through numerous areas I didn’t even think of, including the scientific side of what is happening to your body (which is interesting in general) and what to do at every stage of labour, but getting me to understand I have options that make me feel I am in complete control, including after the baby is born which I didn’t realise.
The course also finishes with some extremely useful resources to take away which I felt was fantastic!
If you want to feel confident, in control and ready for your labour I would definitely recommend this hypnobirthing course!” 

"What an incredible session with Laura, i've been feeling a apprehensive about birth due to everything you read in the media, and horror stories. My mindset feels completely different after this course, and I feel so empowered to birth our baby boy. I would recommend this course to anyone to give you confidence and the right tools for a positive birth experience. Thank you so much Laura!"

"It's nice to have a course that focuses specifically on C-Sections. I feel more calm & informed now, thank you."
