Luce has been amazing. Our sessions bridged the gap between essential medical information and a holistic approach perfectly. Really informative and super easy to process and apply. My partner and I are so grateful For these sessions and feel really prepared for our new arrival. This will be my third child and I’ve never felt so prepared. Thank you so much Luce, your involvement has made such a massive difference for both of us.

The course with Lucy instilled so much self belief and a sense of calm and positivity around birth. My daughters birth was one of the most beautiful and incredible experiences of my life.
Nelle
Luce created a bespoke one off (last minute at 37 weeks!!!) session for us that meant we could get the most out of our limited time. Before connecting with Luce and off the back of a traumatic first emergency csection, we were scared and feeling out of control as we approached our second birth. We left the session feeling excited, in control and prepared - this was all thanks to Luce. She is open, engaging, positive, informed and feels like the cheerleader you never knew you needed!

I'm glad I had the knowledge and skills to navigate my pregnancy and the changes that came towards the end.......I feel like I had you in my pocket this whole time. The education and empowerment you bring is so important!
Nicole
I went into sessions with some worries and concerns around labour and what my role of birth partner is, but Luce made it clear and was more than happy to answer all of my questions no matter how daft some may have sounded.
Tom
Our sessions with Luce really helped change my perspective on what hypnobirthing really was and how it would help. As a future ‘birth partner’ I now feel a lot more prepared, calm, and educated about the exciting experience to come. It was fun, informative, and has giving me and my partner some really useful tools going into the experience for the first time. I’d definitely recommend Luce to anyone else who is interested in doing this themselves.
Tim
From the very first session, we knew we were going to love this course. Luce made us feel relaxed and able to ask any questions or bring up things that were concerning us about labour.
Cath
I felt really informed and confident in my body's ability to give birth. Even when my labour didn't follow my birth plan, the information and hypnobirthing techniques made me feel in control and able to make the right choices along the way.

Lucy is a great instructor, her analogies and comparisons make everything that might be abstract, really clear.
Hi I'm Luce, the founder of Proud Birth. I need to say this from the start, I'm not your average hypnobirthing instructor and birth coach, and what I mean by that is I do things a little differently. Being relaxed and authentic is a core part of my courses and that goes both ways, so if you're looking for a fun, no BS approach to birth prep I'm your girl.
I'm the proudest mother there is of my two children, Memphy and Koko. Both of my births were beautiful, but they were two very different experiences, one an elective caesarean and a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC).
I was a total skeptic about hypnobirthing, but in my second pregnancy I did a course mainly to calm my anxiety. I now hold it fully responsible for my powerful and transformative birth with my daughter.
I set up Proud Birth because I know birth works, there is a lot of people walking around doubting it will work for them, especially if they've had a previous caesarean or traumatic brith experience. I'm here to let you know this birth can be different, and you can do it your way - but you've got to own it. I offer a range of courses to get you feeling prepared and confident about bringing your baby into the world - however that looks for you.
Why Proud Birth?
You are going to remember your birth for the rest of your life, and yet we know very little about how it all works.
All the courses I have created are based on the core belief that birth is a monumental life event for both you and your partner.
You have so many choices to make when it comes to making your birth a positive and powerful experience, but if you don't know what your options are, you have none. It's time get clarity on what's important and how to own your birth.
Second time mum Nelle, decided to have a home birth for her second baby and prepare for a positive birth after a previous traumatic experience first time round. This beautiful birth story of Remi shows the strength of self belief, the importance of your birth environment and how important it is to prepare for birth.
