5-star rated Midwife-Led Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Courses in South Leeds
Helping you feel confident and empowered for birth and beyond
You deserve a positive and empowering birth
Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or growing your family, you deserve more than just a “wait and see” approach to birth. Every birth matters, and your first isn’t just a trial run.
From the place you birth, to pain relief options to feeding your baby, everyone wants to give you their opinion, not to mention the vast amount of conflicting information that is available to parents-to-be nowadays. Birth Journeys courses and workshops are designed to cut through the overwhelm, ditch the fear, and put you back at the centre of your own birth.
Supporting your birth, your way
Hello, I’m Leah – a Leeds-based midwife with 9 years of NHS experience. I currently work at Leeds General Infirmary, supporting those birthing in hospital or at home.
I believe birth can be empowering, and I’m here to help you feel calm, confident and prepared. Through Birth Journeys, I offer honest, holistic, evidence-based care that puts you at the centre.
Real talk, real support
I offer practical, honest antenatal education that combines the best of hypnobirthing, traditional birth prep, and my firsthand experience as an NHS midwife. You’ll learn how to navigate the maternity system with confidence, understand your birth rights, and make informed choices that feel right for you.
My commitment to you
“Leah was so warm, welcoming, engaging and real throughout the course – an all round fantastic and extremely knowledgeable person to learn from.”
Fran & Sam, Morley
“Leah is very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. It was useful and reassuring to get an insider perspective from a practicing local midwife. I’m confident that what we have learned will be invaluable for birth and beyond.”
Pippa, birthed at St James
“Leah is incredibly genuine, authentic, and fun, but also extremely knowledgeable. Her commitment to empowering women with evidence based information really shone through, and we both came away feeling so much more confident and capable.”

Personalised 1:1 Antenatal Support – Coming soon!
From Summer 2026, I will be offering personalised 1:1 antenatal sessions in Leeds for those who would like more time, continuity and individual support during pregnancy. These sessions are designed to complement your NHS maternity care, helping you feel informed, calm and prepared for birth.
There will be a range of options from a one-off 2hr antenatal session to postnatal therapy appointments, mummy MOTs or full support throughout pregnancy & early weeks. These options will be for both first-time parents and those extending their family, as well as those who prefer flexibility of sessions and dislike group environments.
There will also be options for those planning a C-section, as I recognise that a full antenatal course isn’t always the right preparation for these parents.
If you are interested in booking something like this, please contact me by email and we can arrange!
“Thank you so much for your help and advice during our 1:1 session, I wouldn’t have managed at home for so long without it and we had a natural birth on just has and air which I’m very pleased with. My partner was brilliant with helping me through the contractions, applying counter pressure and massage – he learned quite a lot from the session we had. We used the rebozo techniques towards the end too!”
