Laura Elizabeth Lansdowne – inBirth Hypnobirthing

I’m a proud mum of two boys, and hypnobirthing completely changed how I experienced birth. It wasn’t just about feeling calm – it helped me stay in control and actually enjoy my births. The breathing techniques and affirmations made all the difference, especially in those intense moments. I still remember repeating, “This feeling of intensity is only temporary, I get to meet my baby soon,” and it truly kept me focused and grounded. Having midwives who respected and supported my birth preferences also made a huge impact.

The physical event of birth is what most people focus on, but preparing mentally is just as important. The way you think about birth, the habits you practise, and the environment you create all play a huge role in shaping your experience. By learning and practising techniques in pregnancy, you can help your body work more efficiently and make your birth experience calmer and more positive.

With a first-class honours degree in biology and a master’s-level professional certificate in clinical chemistry, I bring a science-backed approach to hypnobirthing, making it easy to understand how and why it works. I’m passionate about helping parents feel informed, prepared, and confident – whatever their birth choices.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me at home or close by, spending time with my amazing family. I love being outdoors in the fresh air (I get cabin fever easily!), enjoying a fancy coffee, indulging in a bit of shopping, or planning our next family holiday. I’m a true home bird at heart, happiest when surrounded by loved ones.
