Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are profound rites of passage in the journey to motherhood. These moments are not just physical events; they are deeply emotional, spiritual, and transformative experiences that shape a woman’s identity and her connection with her baby and partner.

I’m Laura, and I’m here to help you navigate these powerful transitions with support, compassion, and a deep respect for the birthing process.

 

As a trained birth and postpartum doula, I’ve spent years immersing myself in the world of birth—learning from every resource I could find and experiencing my own empowering birth. Through this journey, I’ve come to understand how crucial it is to feel held, supported, and informed during this time.

Historically, women have supported one another through birth, but in our modern world, that vital sense of community is often missing. My goal as your doula is to help you reclaim that sense of connection and support, ensuring that you never have to walk this path alone.

I believe knowledge fosters empowerment, and I’m committed to providing evidence-based guidance to help you make the choices that resonate with you. Whether you're preparing for a physiological birth, navigating the postpartum period, or simply looking to feel more confident in your choices, I’ll be there to support you every step of the way.

Let’s work together to honor this transformative experience and help you feel confident, empowered, and deeply connected to yourself, your baby, and your family.

Hey, I'm Laura!

Are we a good fit? 

We are a good fit if:

We aren't a good fit if:

  • You are willing to learn as much as you can about birth.

  • You are ready to do "the work"—physically, emotionally, and mentally preparing for your birth journey.

  • Your partner is on board with having a doula as part of the birth team and is ready to be an active participant.

  • You believe birth plans are essential for empowering your birth experience.

  • You value a calm & grounded presence.

  • You love physiological birth.

  • You want a doula who ensures that your needs are met and who will support you no matter what.

  • You don’t mind swearing, a little humour, and a down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach.

  • You think that hiring a doula will guarantee you the birth you want.

  • You are looking for someone to teach you EVERYTHING there is to know about birth without taking the time to learn and prepare yourself.

  • Your partner isn’t on board with having a doula as part of the birth team and isn’t interested in actively participating.

  • You’re hoping your doula can "save" you.

  • You couldn’t care less about physiological birth.

  • You don’t want to do the work to learn as much as you can about birth.

  • You aren’t into humour or swearing.
