Meet your local hypnobirthing teacher in Blackheath: Laura
Hello! I'm Laura, and I live in South East London with my husband Cyrille, our three gorgeous children, and our slightly bossy cat Maggie.
These days you’ll mostly find me outside, chasing after my two energetic boys (aged 6 and 4) with my baby girl strapped to me in a sling… or making my own jewellery if I get a quiet moment while my children are playing Lego!

What will Hypnobirthing actually give you?
A calmer response to labour
Learn practical ways to relax your body, work with your breathing and stay focused through contractions.
More confidence in your choices
Understand what is happening during birth and feel better equipped to ask questions, make decisions and stay involved in your care.
A birth partner who knows what to do
Give your partner practical tools and a clear role, so they can support you confidently rather than feeling like a spare pair of hands.
Preparation for real life, not just the “perfect birth”
Hypnobirthing isn't about guaranteeing a particular type of birth. It's about helping you feel calm, informed and prepared for the birth you actually have.
But don't just take my word for it!

Many parents choose a broader antenatal course alongside Hypnobirthing because the two can complement each other beautifully.
Hypnobirthing gives you dedicated preparation for birth, helping you understand the physiology of labour, work with your body's natural processes, practise breathing and relaxation techniques, and prepare your birth partner to support you confidently.
If you've already booked an NCT course at Mycenae House, you don't have to choose between the two. You can join our Blackheath Hypnobirthing course to focus more deeply on feeling calm, confident and prepared for birth.
How are we different to NCT classes in Blackheath?
NCT and Hypnobirthing aren't necessarily either/or.
NCT courses offer broader antenatal education covering subjects such as birth, feeding and life with a newborn. If you're specifically looking for practical Hypnobirthing techniques to help you prepare for labour, Rise & Glow takes a more focused approach to birth preparation.
Our Blackheath Hypnobirthing classes give you time to properly learn and practise breathing, relaxation, massage, positions, birth preparation and practical techniques for you and your birth partner.
And if you've already booked NCT, you can absolutely do both. NCT classes are also held at Mycenae House, so you can combine your broader antenatal education with dedicated Hypnobirthing preparation at the same local venue.
Giving birth at QEH, Lewisham or another local hospital or birth centre?
