“Laura, aka the Oxytocin Whisperer, is outstanding. She had a monumentally positive impact on my birth. I did her Hypnobirthing course, Pregnancy Relaxation classes, and did a Birth Partner preparation class with her as part of her Doula package. All of them 10/10. I highly HIGHLY recommend getting in touch if you’re looking for a positive pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience. She is fantastic.”
Hello! I’m Laura Batten (she/her), and it's my pleasure to welcome you to Hello Baby, home to all things Pregnancy, Birth and Postnatal in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, West Sussex and now (thanks to the option of Zoom), all around the UK.
I’m here to support you all the way through pregnancy, birth and into your postnatal period; here’s the fully inclusive emotional, practical and evidence-based support I can offer:
PACKAGES launching soon, for those giving birth in 2026
5-star rated Mindful Natal® birth preparation courses

So whether you are pregnant for the first time or fifth time or are coming here after a previous loss, I give it my all to support you through the transformation that you are looking for. My care is completely inclusive for all, whatever your path to parenthood, and whatever your birth preferences are.
Zoom workshops:
Nourish Your Nervous System
Thursday 17th July, 7-8:30pm (you’ll finish completely relaxed and ready to get straight into bed - you can do it in your PJs!)
If you did just ONE thing during pregnancy, it would be to learn how to support your Nervous System. The world doesn’t set us up to automatically feel calm, content and in control, but harnessing the power of your nervous system can get you there. If you’ve ever felt anxious, worried, overwhelmed or find yourself overthinking birth, this is for you.
In this 90 minute Zoom workshop, you’ll learn how to truly nourish and nurture your all-important nervous system. Even the thoughts inside your head are as a result of the state of your nervous system, so during pregnancy this is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself.
I promise you’ll go away with:
• Nourishing breath work practices to use in general life and pregnancy/birth/postpartum.
• 5 thoughtful journal prompts to deep dive into what’s not working for you and your nervous system.
• Some suggested daily, weekly and by-trimester practices that your mind and body will both thank you for.
• Practical tips on how to avoid Nervous System Overload.
• Your Birth Space vs Your Nervous System cheat sheet.
• Feeling completely nourished with a bespoke relaxation at the end of the session.
• A discount to September’s workshop (Plan for Your Postpartum)

What’s my approach to Birth preparation, using mindfulness and hypnobirthing techniques?
I am a Mindful Natal® teacher with The Mindful Birth Group which means my antenatal, hypnobirthing and postnatal Private Courses, Refresher Courses and Power Hours are fully inclusive and offer support from the 1st to the 4th trimester. Dubbed by past clients as “a modern alternative to NCT”, The Mindful Birth Group is changing the landscape of antenatal education by being the only organisation to embrace all birth choices and all paths to parenthood through the inclusive award-winning courses and benefits that come with the unique PregnaHub®.
We will cover everything that you’re worried about, and there’s no need to do any other course - so saving you money, too.

Pregnancy after loss
I also specialise in pregnancy after loss, having experienced recurrent miscarriage myself. It’s an intensely difficult time, and I’d be honoured to help walk that with you, and hold space for you to navigate through this pregnancy and this birth, honouring all your past experiences.
