Our Difference

The feedback we hear most? Our passion and experience make all the difference. Our classes are led by midwives who currently work in labour wards, bringing real-world experience and the latest insights to every session. We believe birth preparation should leave you feeling in control, confident in your body’s incredible abilities, and empowered to make informed decisions about your journey.

Designed with modern, 21st-century parents in mind, our classes are free from outdated policies and stale content—no grainy birth videos from the 1980s here! Instead, we offer up-to-date, evidence-based education that gives you a holistic understanding of labour, interventions, birth, postpartum, feeding and parenting. You’ll walk away with a toolkit of strategies for managing labour and birth, because one-size-fits-all solutions simply don’t work.

We know that your support person plays a vital role, which is why we include them in the entire process, giving them the confidence to be there for you every step of the way. You’ll also get access to Founder Loz after the class, a WhatsApp group to connect with other parents (hello, Mother’s Group!), and a goodie bag packed with information and products to support you through this exciting journey.

What really sets us apart? Our classes are fun, interactive, and practical. They’re not just about preparing for birth—they’re about building connections, gaining confidence, and feeling truly supported. With One Mama Midwife, you’re not just attending a class; you’re joining a community that’s here for you every step of the way.

Welcome! I’m Loz—Endorsed Midwife, mum of four, and the Founder of One Mama Midwife. Believe it or not, I was once in your shoes—a first-time mum with no clue how to birth a baby or what to do once they arrived.

Ironically, I skipped birth education classes when I was pregnant with my first. Fast forward, I became a midwife, and now teaching these classes is my passion. My goal? To help families feel confident, informed, and in control as they prepare for their birth.

I wish I’d attended birth classes back then. I remember walking into my first birth absolutely terrified, with no idea what was happening to me or what my options were. And once my little boy arrived? Let’s just say there were plenty of tears and late-night moments wondering what I was doing wrong. I wish I’d had the knowledge to make that experience enjoyable instead of overwhelming.

That’s why One Mama Midwife exists—to give you the knowledge I wish I’d had. We’re here to help you feel confident, empowered, and ready to walk into your birth knowing how it all works, what your options are, and how to advocate for the experience you want.

What our clients say

  • Annie

    “My husband and I attended a class in April and we left with so much useful knowledge and didn’t feel scared rather it made us way more excited to have bub! Since this class I have given birth and used many of the techniques shared including the birth comb, I remembered everything I needed even in moments during labour! Very grateful for this class cannot recommend Lauren enough!”

  • Michelle

    “Lauren's antenatal class she facilitates is informative, interactive, and personable. It is clear she loves her practice and this shines through in her classes.

    Thanks for having us Lauren! And thank you for giving us well-research and just the right amount of information in a time when information (solicited or unsolicited) is being provided from every person you come into contact with.”

  • Kate

    “THIS IS THE ONE!

    When my midwife suggested we look at doing an antenatal class, I was very hesitant. I didn't want to sit in a room with strangers and feel like clinical information was being shoved in my face, let alone watch an old school birthing video. But then a suggested post appeared on my social media feed of the One Mama Midwife antenatal class and it looked a thousand times more inviting than a class at the hospital. Lauren was incredibly informative, open minded and not even slightly pushy towards any birthing options. She has a warm and gentle nature which makes for a comfortable atmosphere where you can ask any question that you want, without feeling silly. The space itself felt welcoming, and the small number of people in the room made it feel more intimate and relaxing and less like a class. I walked away from the One Mama Midwife antenatal class feeling much more prepared for my journey and my partner did too. I couldn't recommend Lauren and her class any higher. If you're looking to do any class before giving birth.. THIS IS THE ONE!”

  • Stephanie

    “My partner and I just completed our course with Lauren and couldn’t be happier that we decided to do this!

    We both left feeling informed and empowered, my partner now feels as though he has an important role (which he does) and we both feel like we have all the resources and education we need to have a positive birth experience.

    I can’t recommend this course enough, we learnt so much. Lauren was just amazing, so knowledgeable and approachable and I can’t wait to use all the tools we’ve learn during my birth. Thank you so much!!”

  • Charlotte

    “My husband and I just attended Lauren's class and came away with SO much information, tips and tricks! I feel more confident, knowledgeable and calm about the birth and being a first-time mum! It is the only antenatal class that I have come across that goes into detail not only about the birth, but also postnatal which was important to me!
    Lauren is passionate, presents the information clearly and involves partners throughout. They are also intimate, small and hands-on so Lauren takes the time with each individual and every question you have can be answered! Cannot her class recommend highly enough!!!!”
