  • "I found Laura through other Central Coast mums who couldn’t stop singing her praises, and now I completely understand why! Laura gave me so much confidence in myself and my body. She supported me with education, helped me work through my fears, guided me with my birth preferences, and was just the most encouraging, kind, and calm presence throughout. She really honoured the role my husband wanted to play too, and supported us both so beautifully. This birth was everything I had hoped for and more."

    Mel, Gosford

  • "I do not have the words to describe how grateful I am to have had Laura by my partner's side while she was giving birth. Just the calm that came with the knowledge and experience I could feel in the room, also the reassuring language that only a female in this profession could have was invaluable, not only for my partner but myself also!"

    Mitch, Copacabana

  • "Laura gave me great pregnancy and birth education, helped me write the best birth plan my midwives had ever seen and her support during labour was invaluable, both physically and emotionally. Not to mention the delicious food she brings on her postpartum visits and the text support she gave me in the weeks waiting for labour to start and then afterwards. I would have another baby just to have Laura on my team again if I could!"

    Georgia, Newcastle

  • "Laura was incredible; she went above and beyond to support me, my husband, and our baby. When I had to be induced, Laura supported me by ensuring that all options were considered and guided me on how best to advocate for myself. I went into it confident, and my birth space was also honoured and so beautiful. Laura is supportive, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about her work. She is a wealth of knowledge and provides unwavering support throughout the journey."

    Elise, Davistown

  • "Every aspect of my birth that was positive, supportive, and empowering, was largely due to having Laura as my doula. People have asked me, is it worth having a doula? My answer is unequivocally yes! And Laura goes above and beyond... still is (and I'm 3 months post-partum). Couldn't recommend more!"

    Adanya, Terrigal

  • "As a partner, I was able to be completely present with my wife through the entire labour while Laura took care of everything we needed. We went in prepared with a comprehensive birth plan and felt confident knowing Laura was there to guide us with her extensive knowledge and experience. We opted for the photography package (Highly recommend!) and this meant we were able to record some of the most special moments without having to plan this ourselves. I can't imagine having gone through this without Laura and we know we will be reaching out again for any future births."

    Mark, Buff Point
