Birth Clients’ Testimonials:
I am so grateful to Laura for accompanying the birth of our first child! Labour got intense quite early on and the mood changed when she arrived. Having another mother by my side helped me tap into my own strength! She brought more peace to the room and her practical help gave my husband the time and space he needed to support me. In the tough early weeks of our son's life, as we were overwhelmed by contradictory advice, she also helped us to access and trust our parenting instincts. Laura is passionate and compassionate, gentle but assertive, knowledgeable but never overbearing, and seems right at home in her role as a doula.

We instantly had a good feeling with Laura, she is very caring and sweet. She helped us prepare for the big day with excellent guidance and practical information. During labour, Laura was discreet but did everything she could to support and ease the process. After birth, she helped us pack our belongings while respecting our privacy, and in the weeks following, she visited to answer our questions and even helped with our son’s first bath, creating one of our best memories. She answered all our questions, guided us in writing our birth plan, and made the whole experience much easier. We truly enjoyed her support and would absolutely have a doula again. If you’re feeling stressed about giving birth or just need extra physical and emotional support, do not hesitate to hire Laura.

Postnatal Clients’ Testimonials
I cannot thank Laura enough for all the support, encouragement and care she gave to my son, husband and myself. As typical anxious new parents with the perennial ‘but is this normal’ questions and concerns, she was incredibly empathetic, calm and authoritative. She brings the perfect balance of theoretical and academic knowledge but even more importantly the hands-on, practical experience as a mother herself of three boys and now daughter. She built a very strong bond very quickly with our baby son, responding quickly to his interests and guiding him (and us) through his first major milestones. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend having Laura be part of your early days as a parent – the support she gave us and our son enabled him to blossom and us to truly enjoy the parenting experience; and on a personal level, I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her, particularly for her positive, sunny outlook.

Laura's personality is calm, gentle, with empathy and discreet. She is knowledgeable about the child development and curious about neuroscience. I would definitely have another doula for my next child. It was very helpful, physically and emotionally! I would not have the same experience without her.
Myriam K.
I am so grateful for the wonderful support I received from Laura. The impact of her visits was incredibly meaningful and always came at just the right time.
As a new single mom, I was facing a period of great challenge, and my confidence was wavering. Laura's presence was a breath of fresh air. She is one of the most empathetic, flexible, and caring people I've met. She didn't just help with the baby; she helped me find my footing again. Her belief in me helped me regain my own confidence as a mother.
Beyond her practical support, I cherished our conversations. We talked about everything from childcare philosophies to other fascinating topics, and she always expanded my thinking and left me feeling inspired. She is such an interesting and engaging person, and my little one had so much fun with her, which was a joy to see.
What truly set her apart was her proactive desire to help. She was always looking for ways to support me as a mom and as a person and even practically to lighten my load, whether it was helping with meal prep for the baby or tackling some of the chores that inevitably piled up. That kind of above-and-beyond support was an absolute lifeline for me. Her support was invaluable, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
