Hello,
I’m Laura, a Full Spectrum Doula & Meditation Teacher. With a deep love and passion for supporting others in life-changing moments, being a doula connected with me after teaching mothers to meditate and seeing the profound impact it had on their experience in birth and life, as well as moving through grief and a rebirth of remembering of myself. Through witnessing the beginnings of life, the endings of life and leading a life with the full intention of aliveness, I am a doula at my core.
I will walk alongside you, wherever I met you along your journey, I will inform/ prepare you of options or possibilities, I will create a safe space for you to unravel your heart, thoughts and feelings. To unfold, grow and shift into new ways of being. Guiding you into a place of profound trust. I am prepared for the vastness, bigness and softness of your unique expression. My life experiences allow me to be deep in this work with you.
Trained as a Dynamo Doula through Angel Phoenix and an Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula - I provide support and guidance for your own unique process. Rituals to honour and celebrate these moments. Making sure you feel seen, heard, loved and held throughout this experience. To teach you to feel the feelings rather than push them aside. I’m your wing-woman, your coach, your guide. I’m here to remind you of your true self. Using evidence-based, empathetic, and heart-centred care to guide you through this life changing moment.
Birth is a spiritual experience, and a doula brings in a perspective and reflection of remembrance. To be the mirror as you go through deep excavation and exploration. Together we celebrate love and loss, holding the opposites is a truly transformational experience during this time as we traverse life and death, joy and grief.
This moment can be deeply expansive, healing and profound. I'm here to honour and witness your undoing and becoming.

Studies and training.
As a lifelong student, I remain committed to continual learning and unlearning, self-study through embodiment and deep trust. I’ve had the honour of training with the best in the field, Angel Phoenix on her final doula training after 10 years of being of service in this industry. Deep gratitude to Dani from Soma Shakti for my Ayurvedic lens and her continued support and resources. And to midwife, anthropologist and educator, Naoli Vinaver for her profound teachings from The Art of Birth and to Rhea Dempsey for her incredible knowledge in the Embracing The Intensity workshop. In 2019 I also trained as a Meditation Teacher with Jonni Pollard and will always hold the most recent Mental Health First Aid certificate as a grounding pillar of my work.
