  • "I really can't recommend Beyond Birth highly enough. We have just done a hypnobirthing class and we feel so empowered and ready to meet our baby! I was quite nervous before so this is a big transformation! Thank you Lauren!"

  • "Lauren is wonderful. She has so much knowledge, she's friendly and she has a down to earth, calm and kind manner. We found the hypnobirthing class really informative and it made us feel confident to make our own decisions. Our little one was born at home (against guidance, but we asked all the questions and felt confident in our decision) and it was magical!"

    ~ Laura ~

  • "I am so glad we found Beyond Birth! My husband and I did a one to one hypnobirthing class with Lauren and it totally transformed how we were feeling. We were very worried about the birth because of a previous difficult birth, but we worked through our worries, learnt about the process of birth and built skills to stay calm. Our little girl was born quickly and calmly in the birth pool at Harrogate hospital and we had a beautiful and healing birth experience."
