Hi, I’m Laura!
I’m a birth & postpartum doula, childbirth educator and holistic birth coach who helps women build the mindset, strength, and confidence to birth without fear - and without apology.
I don’t teach “go with the flow.” (YIKES!)
I teach women how to be confident, trust their body, use their voice, and stop handing their birth over to the loudest person in the room.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve seen too many women walk into birth prepared for pain, but not for power. They were told to trust the process — but no one taught them how to trust themselves. No one taught them what to do when things got loud. When the room changed. When fear crept in. When someone suggested something they weren’t sure about. When their brain started asking, “Can I actually do this?”
After working with over 400 women, I’ve witnessed that confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t have. It’s something you build through mindset, education, and practice.
My Approach
The coaching, courses and support I offer aren’t just about making a cute birth plan and learning a few breathing techniques.
They’re about preparing for the actual intensity of birth.
The kind where your body is working hard, your mind wants to run the show, and you need tools that don’t disappear the second things get real.
Here’s what we do:
We pull fear out of the dark and actually look at it.
We build a mindset that stays calm when labour turns up the volume.
We prepare your body and nervous system for the intensity of labour.
We create a birth plan that supports you, not one that makes you feel like you failed if birth unfolds differently.
We get your partner on the same page so they’re not just standing there looking lovingly confused.
Every session, course, journal, and support option is practical, honest, and deeply personal.
Who I Work With
I work with women who:
Want to birth with confidence, not compliance
Are preparing for birth at home or the hospital
Acknowledge birth will be hard, but want to meet it head-on
Are ready to replace uncertainty with strength
Want to understand their options without being scared into decisions
If you’re reading this thinking, “Okay, yes. This is me.”
Then you’re my kind of client.
A Little More About Me
I’m a certified birth & postpartum doula, certified childbirth educator, and registered holistic nutrition counsellor specializing in prenatal and infant/childhood nutrition, based in London, Ontario. I’ve been serving my local community in person as a doula for over 8 years, attending over 100 births and supporting even more families through postpartum care.
I’ve also run mom-and-baby programs in London, Ontario since 2019 with over 400 families coming through my doors. Supporting women and families isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am.
Prior to entering the world of birth, I spent 8 years serving as a firefighter. Through my experiences on the job, I learned how to stay calm in high-pressure situations, think clearly through intensity, and trust training over uncertainty - all skills that translate directly into birth work.
When a woman is in labour, she doesn’t need someone who gets quiet when things get real - she needs someone who is sharp, steady, caring and focused. That’s the energy I bring into every birth, every session, and every mentorship I offer.
When I’m not working with my clients, you’ll find me living the real-life crash course in patience, chaos management, and unconditional adaptability - raising 4 kids who were all born within 2 years and 11 months (yes, there’s twins in there lol).
You’ll also find me spending most of my evenings and weekends arena hopping, wildly cheering on my kids in hockey and ringette, baking the most weird and wonderful sourdough recipes I can get my hands on, and getting outside for long walks with my Belgian Malinois, Lexa.
All these moments keep me grounded. They remind me that strength isn’t built in quiet, perfect spaces - it’s built in the everyday chaos of real life.
Let’s Build Your Confidence
If you want to walk into birth knowing you can handle it — mentally, physically, and emotionally — my Birth Confidence Mentorship is where we start.
