Newcastle + Central Coast Birth and Postpartum Doula
I'm Laura, a highly experienced birth and postpartum doula. Born in the US and living in Australia since 2009, I'm a mum of three with a calm and inviting presence.
Before becoming a doula, I worked as both a chef and a nanny, giving me a strong foundation in nurturing, patience, and practical care. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Communication, which has made me a skilled intermediary and trusted advocate for families. I'm well known to local hospital staff and pride myself on building strong, respectful relationships with care teams.
Families describe me as calm, inviting, and grounding during what can be an overwhelming but beautiful chapter of life. Whether it's holding space during labour, helping parents navigate the early newborn days, or simply offering a steady hand and a listening ear, I see it as my privilege to walk alongside families during this transformative journey.
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me with a coffee in hand, reading a good book, enjoying the beach, or hanging out with my kids. I'm so looking forward to connecting and being part of your story—wherever your path takes you.
