Welcome!
My name is Larissa, and I am a trained doula dedicated to providing compassionate support to families throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey.
I trained with The BirthBliss Academy under Kicki Hansard - an award-winning doula, author, and childbirth educator with over two decades of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
Having navigated the maternity system twice myself, I felt a deep calling to share my knowledge with other parents, ensuring they, too, could experience positive and empowering births.
Covering Berkshire and surrounding counties.
How I Support Families
My mission is to educate and nurture parents, helping them feel confident and cared for during this transformative time.
I proudly support individuals and families of all backgrounds, identities, and family structures - ensuring that everyone receives the respectful, inclusive care they deserve.
My approach is holistic, nurturing, and tailored to each family's unique needs. Whether you’re looking for hands-on postnatal support, birth preparation, physical comfort measures, evidence-based guidance, or simply a reassuring presence, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
My Passion for Postnatal Care
While I offer support throughout pregnancy and birth, my true passion lies in postnatal care and preparation. I believe the transition into parenthood is just as significant as birth itself, and I am committed to helping new parents feel supported, informed, and empowered during this crucial time. From emotional and physical recovery to newborn care and family adjustments, I provide personalised guidance to ease the transition and promote overall well-being.
It would be an honour to be part of your journey into parenthood, helping you welcome your little one with confidence and peace of mind.
I’d love to hear more about your hopes and needs for this journey—please feel free to reach out, and let’s explore how I can support you.
