Doula Luiza - Hypnobirthing & Antenatal Courses

Would totally recommend Luiza for her classes, I have attended her hypnobirthing anti natal classes in both my pregnancy’s they are a fantastic space to learn, do some brill movement sequences and relax. I have also attended her baby massage and yoga classes which are also both as enjoyable a lovely space to connect with your baby learn about ways to support them and smooth them. It was also a nice space to get support from Luiza and other mums as there is always chance to have a cup of tea, some sort of sweet treat at the end of each session. I look forward to my classes with Luiza when my next baby is born.

I've attended 2 of Luiza's Hypnobirthing and yoga classes now and they have been invaluable in the preparation for my birth. I practiced the techniques daily throughout trimester 2 and 3, it gives you practical positions to try when in labour and helps to mentally and physically prepare for the big day. The classes were also very informative, Luiza has a wealth of knowledge and has filled me with confidence. I can't recommend Luiza or her classes enough, she brings a great sense of humour to the sessions which also make them fun! Thanks Luiza!! X

Luiza was our doula for our second birth (5 years after a traumatic first birth without a doula). The support she provided was second to none. She empowered us to make the best choices for us and helped us to navigate the world of maternal care.She helped us to make sense of the risks and statistics so we could understand what we wanted to do.With her help and support, we birthed our gorgeous baby at home safely, calmly and beautifully. She even made us tea and toast at the end. I simply cannot recommend her enough.I recommend Luiza to everyone. Invest in your birth, it will undoubtedly be the one of the. biggest days of your life, make it one of the best.

I've just completed a 5 week term of Daisy Wrigglers with Luiza and have absolutely loved it. It's the first baby class we've done so I was a little bit nervous going alone but I was pleasantly surprised at how welcoming the group was. A perfect mix of structured songs/baby yoga/sensory play as well as allowing the babies to take the lead when they're a bit more active! I love Luiza's hilarious honesty when it comes to parenting, we all have a laugh and sometimes it's the perfect cure when we've had a particularly challenging week. Would definitely recommend!

The active birthing classes that Luiza runs were a great way to unwind each week and meet other mums to be, and I would recommend them to anyone.The breathing exercises and movements that Luiza taught us were an absolute game changer during labour - we had so many comments on how calm our birthing space was.The main thing for me though was just how passionate Luiza is on empowering anyone on their birthing journey of their rights and options. Luiza gave so much amazing advice throughout the sessions, always totally free of judgement and in celebration of all types of birth. Thank you so much!

From Loubaba and JohnWe cannot express in one review, our love and gratitude to this woman. She held me through the most intense period of my life with care, compassion, knowledge and intense courage. We are so immensely grateful for what she’s done for our family.We would honestly recommend Luiza to absolutely anyone who wants to be empowered in their own birth journey. There are so many priorities when you’re expecting and so many costs, but prioritising Luiza’s support and experience as a birth partner was the very best decision we made.We sought out an expert doula for the birth of our first child, mostly so we could prioritise my mental well-being during my pregnancy and birth as I brought some complex mental health needs due to past trauma. We also wanted to be informed and empowered on our birth journey. We were curious about a home birth to avoid hospital management of our birth, but for many reasons the odds were stacked against us for having our baby at home.From the first time we met Luiza, she immediately put us at ease and began explaining the procedures we would encounter through the health service as well as the physiological processes I would undergo through pregnancy and birth. She is so experienced and well-informed and has an extensive network of other birth experts to call on when needed.She was always available to give support and answer our questions while never pushing us to go one way or the other. She simply heard what we needed and did everything she could to make it happen. She really made me feel like an individual and supported me so much in all my birth choices.My labour was very long but Luiza supported us throughout and, as a connected team, we did all 70 hours together and eventually had our dream birth at home and in water. Luiza worked seamlessly with the NHS staff and midwives to give our little baby boy the very best start in life we could. Calmly, with love and in our own home. She regularly went many extra miles for us. It was an incredible experience from start to finish and made possible with Luiza’s dedication and care.

After a challenging first birth, when we found out we were pregnant with our second baby we knew we wanted some additional support on our birth team. Luiza has this fantastic energy that is exuded through her social media presence and we know she would be a good fit for us. Luiza provided great antenatal support ensuring we were as prepared as possible to enable the birth we wanted. We weren’t sure how beneficial we would find the antenatal and postnatal support but having someone to listen, to reassure and to provide guidance was as invaluable as the support for the birth itself. Our beautiful baby girl was born at home in the birth pool with the support of Luiza and it was everything we could have wanted and more. Luiza was a vital part of our birthing team and ensured my partner and I were supported and safe through out the birth. Having the beautiful ball of joy that is Luiza on our team for our birth was the best decision we could have made. I would highly recommend Luiza to anyone that is considering a Doula. My partner was on the fence before the birth but is a massive believer in having a doula at the birth after seeing what they can provide.

Luiza is a wonderful teacher. She is so full of experience and knowledge. I have just attended her Active Birthing course and I couldn't recommend it more highly! It was educational, relaxing, empowering and has made me feel prepared and excited about my upcoming birth. I will also attend her birthing workshops with my birthing team and will definitely be signing up for her baby classes too! If you are pregnant, get prepared for birth with Luiza - she is a body/ baby/ birth rights guru!
