"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. Laura was extremely knowledgeable, and we really valued her sharing her own experiences and insights of how Hypnobirthing can work in practice."

Hey Mama! Congratulations on your pregnancy!
You already know that the next few months will be life-changing. There is so much to do – decorate the nursery, choose a pushchair, decide on a name... All the while your body is doing something incredible, growing a whole new human being. Amazing!
Maybe you’ve already chosen baby’s first little outfit. Maybe you’re starting to imagine your baby’s tiny wriggly toes in those cute little booties. It starts to hit home that baby will be here soon. It starts to feel REAL!
But before you get to smell your baby’s head for the first time, before you can enjoy those newborn cuddles, there is the BIRTH!
Nervous? Don’t worry, you’ve got this!
Honestly, I know exactly how you feel... When I saw my first ever positive pregnancy test, I was terrified at the idea of giving birth.
Fortunately, my midwife told me to look into Hypnobirthing and since then, I’ve never looked back. I went on to give birth to both my children completely naturally, and loved every minute of both births!
At no point during either birth did I feel anything I would describe as pain.
I felt strong, relaxed, and POWERFUL. I even said a few minutes afterwards that I couldn’t wait to do it again!

Hear what previous clients have to say about our 5* rated antenatal 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!

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 have just completed the hypnobirthing course with Laura and are feeling excited for our first baby! We have gone from associating birth with words like “grim” “pain” and “sweaty” to “exciting” “intense” and “baby-ready”!
We’ve also opted for a home birth which I never would have had the confidence to do before! Really recommend for anyone who wants to feel confident and ready for a positive birth experience!

How are we different to NCT classes in South East London?
NCT classes are a traditional form of antenatal education established in the 1950s and were the only antenatal class available for a long time. On NCT classes, you would learn about baby care (e.g. how to change a nappy) as well the different forms of pharmacological pain relief available for a medicalised hospital birth.
You may learn a breathing technique for labour on NCT classes in South East London, but you won't usually learn Hypnobirthing tools, other than perhaps a brief introduction.
Rise & Glow courses are evidence-based, and fully up to date with the latest scientific research. Our Hypnobirthing classes focus on giving you the knowledge and tools for a positive birth, allowing you to feel relaxed, powerful and confident during your pregnancy, with plenty of opportunities to practice different Hypnobirthing techniques in class.
At the time of writing, NCT classes in South East London, are priced at £369, in comparison to £235 for Rise & Glow Group Hypnobirthing Courses.
Some parents choose do Rise & Glow Hypnobirthing classes instead of NCT classes in South East London, while some parents choose to do both.
Rise & Glow Hypnobirthing courses and NCT classes in South East London are both brilliant opportunities to meet other local parents-to-be, so choose whichever will enable you to feel prepared and excited for the birth of your baby!
