I’m Loren Bream, The Joyful Doula. 

My path to becoming a doula grew from my own experiences of pregnancy, birth, the postpartum period and a deep desire to support parents through this transformative time.

Before training as a doula I spent years working in both the corporate world and as a nanny. Becoming a mother myself and navigating the wild west of pregnancy, birth and postpartum in a stretched healthcare system and global city fundamentally shifted my perspective and purpose. I came to understand just how essential informed, compassionate and steady support is during this deeply powerful chapter of life. 

During maternity leave with my second baby I chose to deepen and formalise this calling by training with Birth Bliss Academy. I am proud to be part of an incredible alumni of doulas trained by the inspiring Kicki Hansard. This education offered a rounded and grounded understanding of what it truly means to be a doula, rooted in evidence based care, emotional presence and deep respect for each woman’s individual journey.

Today, I feel incredibly honoured to work with parents during one of the most profound and life changing times of their lives. I offer compassionate, holistic help to families through combining practical and emotional care and education.
