Meet Your Doula

Talk to Laura

"I decided to become a birth doula quite literally as I was giving birth to my second daughter. The difference from my first birth was so eye-opening. Even though I knew what to expect, having my own doula empowered me and my body in a brand-new way. Because of her life-changing support, I knew I wanted to pass those same gifts on to other women."

- Laura

With over 6 years experience as a Certified Birth Doula, Laura has supported dozens of HOSPITAL, HOME and BIRTH CENTRE BIRTHS. She works alongside MIDWIVES, OBs and FAMILY PHYSICIANS and understands that each labour and birth experience is a dynamic and unique journey. Ensuring that YOU feel heard, supported, held and empowered during this vulnerable time is Laura’s highest priority.

Laura is experienced with a wide range of birth scenarios, including vaginal birth, Caesarean birth, Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC), breech birth, hypnobirth and water births. She is also trained in trauma-informed doula care, and is a certified pregnancy and infant loss doula.

Laura believes that helping families advocate for their wishes and rights during pregnancy and birth helps them feel more confident as they navigate the transition into parenthood.
