Doula Care

I will prepare you for the birth of your baby, help and empower you have the birth you want, and help you in the early days with your newborn.

Hello, my name is Laureen. I am married with five lovely grown up children and six gorgeous grandchildren.

My background is in teaching and I am a qualified infant teacher. I taught until my first baby came along but subsequently changed to being a supervisor at the local Playgroup in which I was involved for many years.

I then had a change in direction and trained to teach E. S. O. L (English to Speakers of Other Languages). I have been an Adult Education tutor for a number of years and I continue to teach on a voluntary basis.

I have been fortunate enough to have given birth to all my children naturally, and I consider each one as an amazing miracle.

I believe passionately in the ability of a woman to birth her baby and whilst there is a place for medical interventions, most women, with loving support and care, can give birth without them.

My aim is to provide you with the knowledge to help you make your own decisions, provide you and your partner with the care and support you deserve to help make your experience of the birth of your baby a positive and joyful one.
I am here to provide practical, physical and emotional support to you and your family before, during and after the birth of your baby.

Pregnancy and childbirth is a wonderful and very exciting time but it is also a time full of uncertainty and new experiences as you journey through the passage into parenthood.

You will find that a having a Doula can make all the difference to you at this special time, because I am someone who is there to care for you during your pregnancy, your birth and for the first weeks with your new baby.
