Care, education and support for women at every stage.

Hi, I’m Lauretta

Nurse. Midwife. Birth Educator. Bodyworker. Acuneedling Midwife. Women’s health nerd. Mum.

I have been working with women and families for over a decade. I still work clinically as a midwife, so I’m very much still in the thick of pregnancy and birth, not just talking about it on Instagram. 

I adore being a midwife. And despite what people might think about us spending our days hanging out holding babies, it’s holding women that I love most. Being beside women and their families through some of the biggest moments of their lives, what a privilege!

I love teaching about birth, especially that moment when the nods start and you can see things clicking into place. When we get into the nitty gritty of mindset, making decisions, taking charge of your care and weaving in all the body based tools and knowledge that I know you need on the day..

I want women going into birth thinking “I understand this. I get to decide. I can do this.” rather than “I’m scared, I can’t cope with the pain” or “I guess we’ll just go with the flow and see what happens.”

Years of witnessing birth also fuelled my curiosity about the body, the pelvis, how babies move through it and how we can better support women through pregnancy, birth and beyond. That’s led me to train in Acuneedling™, Internal Pelvic Release Work, pregnancy bodywork and abdominal scar care.

The more I learn about bodywork, the more it feels like a return to something that has always belonged in midwifery. Knowing the body, using our hands, observing, listening and supporting women.

My work brings together the things I love most about being a midwife: teaching women, caring for women and being endlessly fascinated by what their bodies can do.
