What is a doula?

The word 'doula' comes from Ancient Greek, meaning 'a woman who serves'.

Doula's are trained to provide support to people during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. From emotional, to physical to informative support, every person deserves a doula.

We give you the tools to make your own informed choices.

Our goals

I strongly believe in the benefit of continuum of care, and so that's what I'm here to offer. I can support you from the moment of conception, right through to weaning your baby onto solids. 

Every person should be given the tools and information needed to make their own informed choices, instead of someone else deciding for them.

During this amazing journey, 1-1 care is so important, and this is what we are able to provide.

Payment Plans

We offer bespoke payment plans to be able to support people in financial difficulty. If you would like to discuss this you can contact us here.

What are your rights in pregnancy and birth?

Too often people are told what they have to do during their pregnancy and birth, rather than being given the facts to make their own informed choice, as is their legal right. So I've put together a short webinar that runs through your rights in pregnancy and birth. To purchase contact me!

 

 

Lauren goes above and beyond to help me and support my newborn baby as a first time Mama. I had never heard of doula's before until I spoke with Lauren but she has opened up my awareness with her knowledge about what she does, what she can do for me and help me become the best Mama I can be. I would recommend Lauren for her support, expertise and confidence.

Hypnobirthing refresher course testimonial

"Thank you so much for the meeting yesterday. I really appreciate what you did, your course was just what we needed. I hope you can use it for other mums that need a refresher course too (there is definitely a hole in the market for refresher course). It was perfect and I could see you put a lot of thought into it and was digestible. Thank you so much."
