Birth and Postnatal Doula
Postnatal Massage and Movement Coach
Mum of one, auntie to many!
I'm Laura, a birth and postnatal doula living with my family in Crowborough, close to the East Sussex/Kent border. I serve families in TN postcodes and beyond - anywhere I can get to you when you need me!
I'm an in-person person. Experiencing life in an embodied way and supporting others to feel confident in their own skin has always been my passion and purpose. My first career was as a professional dancer on both sides of the Atlantic, and now I love combining understanding of human physiology with a setting that keeps me closer to my home and family, and gives me the opportunity to care for people in one of the most transformational moments of their lives.
I believe in the power and instincts of our bodies, and the impact that nurturance and informed-decision making can have on what we are capable of. And I believe in the importance of community and good company! I support birth in a wide range of settings and celebrate families and love in all forms. I've been described as loyal, warm, smiling, and a good listener. I am a Nurturing Birth doula, a member of Doula UK, and a volunteer for the very wonderful Happy Baby Community which provides support for pregnant and postnatal asylum seekers and their babies.
If you'd like more information on how I could support you and your family, please visit my website. I offer a range of packages but I will gladly work with you to design support tailored to your situation, including alternative payment plans. In addition to doula services I offer 1:1, individually tailored pregnancy and postnatal movement coaching for increased ease, mobility, sensation and physical expression at these times of rapid physical change. I also offer closing the bones massage to support a sense of closure for the birthing journey. I offer a free, 30 minute, no-obligation video/phone call for you to find out whether I am the doula for you, or welcome any excuse for tea and cake if you'd prefer to meet in person! No question is too big or too small, I welcome inquiries from all backgrounds, and I would love to hear from you.
