Great class with Louise

My partner and I attended the Natural Labour and Birth Class last week.

Louise was really informative, friendly and had a really good approach. It’s definitely one of the most fun classes we’ve attended and both learnt lots.

Would definitely recommend to others as I feel a lot more confident going into labour now.

Brilliant class

After my NHS antenatal classes have been cancelled twice and I’m due in less than 3 weeks, I saw this class advertised on social media. I’m so glad I attended the session. I feel like I learnt a lot, from the comfort of my own home. Louise was very engaging, funny and knowledgeable! Thank you :)

Empowering

I recently attended an antenatal class on birth and labour led by Louise – and I couldn't recommend it more highly. Louise was absolutely fantastic. She brought a natural, down-to-earth, and truly realistic approach to birth that felt both empowering and reassuring.

What really stood out was how open and honest she was about all aspects of labour – the highs, the challenges, and the things people often shy away from talking about. It wasn't sugar-coated, but it wasn't scary either – just refreshingly real. Her experience and warmth really helped create a safe space where no question felt silly and everyone felt supported.

I left the session feeling far more informed and confident about what to expect. Louise has a real gift for cutting through the noise and helping you understand birth in a way that feels grounded and manageable. A brilliant class and a brilliant midwife!

It is not my first pregnancy but my partners first experience and it was a very valuable class to take for us both. The teacher was wonderful and had a good sense of humour which helped make everything feel more down to earth and realistic. Would highly recommend

Bundle of classes

We did a bundle of classes with Louise and they were great! Really informative, all of our questions were answered and they definitely helped build our knowledge of the unknown as we are first time parents. Louise was a great teacher, we would definitely recommend for other parents to be!

I found the honest midwife on Instagram and took part in Louise’s free pregnancy class. Really loved how honest she was, and how much information me and my partner took away from just that one session that we then bought a package of classes.
Really informative and has made me feel real at ease with the upcoming birth of my baby. Woild really recommend these vlasss to upcoming parents. It was also really tailored to my partner too, helping him be more involved.

The Honest Midwife courses are amazing and perfect for first time parents!

Louise and Carly are amazing! We tried the Natural Labour and birth course and then bought the ‘Birth and Baby Essentials’ bundle which has 9 courses as part of it. We found every single one to be informative, realistic and very useful! Louise delivers the antenatal courses in a friendly, but honest way and Carly’s hypnobirthing was just as good. I would highly recommend these courses to anyone who wants to learn a bit about birth options and looking after a newborn, especially first time parents. You have a range of choices when scheduling each course and this worked perfectly for us, as my husband’s work schedule changes each week and he’s away a lot. You can also reschedule a course up to 3 days beforehand or request a video. I would suggest rescheduling as interacting with Louise and Carly was much more useful than watching a video.

Thank you to both Louise and Carly for everything. I feel so prepared for birth and the newborn stages and it’s all down to them!

Natural Labour and Birth - Excellent!!

My husband and I attended the Natural Labour and Birth course tonight! Louise is excellent, the way the course was delivered was capturing and hilarious! The use of real talk as opposed to being heavy with medical jargon really helped put us at ease!!
