I’m Laurel and I am a qualified and insured hypnobirthing teacher, running group and private classes in Great Dunmow to support you to feel confident, prepared and ready to birth 💫

There’s often a lot of preconceptions about hypnobirthing, so let’s take a minute to clear this up.

Hypnobirthing is not:
❌ a guarantee
❌ a bit of deep breathing
❌ a “perfect” experience

It is:
✨ understanding how fear affects pain & what you can do about it
✨ knowing your options and how to advocate for your choices
✨ staying calm even if plans change

Most of my clients don’t want a perfect birth. They want to feel informed, confident, and supported, whatever their birth journey looks like.

Want to feel like this too? Drop me a message to hold your spot on my small group Hypnobirthing 101 course, or tap the link in bio for more info.

If your brain suddenly switches on at night and runs through every possible birth scenario, you’re not broken. You’re human!

Most of the anxiety I see isn’t about birth itself. It’s about fear of the unknown, fear of pain, and fear of losing control. That’s totally understandable - giving birth is an experience unlike any other, and even if you have given birth before, every birth experience is different.

Hypnobirthing isn’t about pretending birth is easy, it’s about understanding what’s happening in your body and learning how to stay calm within it. Armed with knowledge and tools, you’ll be able to birth with calm and confidence, no matter what your journey looks like.

The benefits of skin to skin for newborns have been widely studied, however a Cochrane review released this week has now gone one step further and concluded that the benefits of skin to skin have been so validated in so many research studies, that it would now be unethical to conduct further randomised control trials to compare skin to skin contact with separation of mum and baby after birth 🌟

Uninterrupted skin to skin immediately after birth as standard care is recommended by WHO and UNICEF, and while this is common practice in homebirths and midwifery led care, in a hospital setting this may not always be the case. Be prepared to advocate for this for you and your baby, as long as all is well.

Have you heard that you should be eating tons of dates in pregnancy?

Research has shown eating dates in late pregnancy to be effective at
💥 Increasing cervical dilation
💥 Shortening the length of the first stages of labour
💥 Reducing the need for induction

So how many?

6 dates a day, from 36 weeks pregnant. That’s a lot of dates, which are a bit of an acquired taste!

If you’ve got any yummy date recipes for those that aren’t so keen, share them in the comments!

🍂 Autumn classes now booking 🍂

Your birth experience is too important to just wing it, or hope for the best. It’s time to invest in yourself in your baby and get yourself feeling informed, confident and ready to birth.

Bring your birth partner and join me and other local pregnant couples for four weeks of discussion, connection and preparation - and leave ready to ‘bring it on!’
