Meet Lorraine: Your Guide to a Confident Birth and Postpartum Journey
Hello! I’m Lorraine, a passionate doula, childbirth educator, trauma resolution practitioner, and mother to two amazing little humans. With years of experience supporting families through birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum care, I’m here to guide you every step of the way, offering evidence-based information and emotional support tailored to your needs.

Let’s make this beautiful journey one you can look back on with pride and confidence.
My Journey to Becoming a Doula
My personal experiences with birth and parenthood have shaped me into the doula I am today. From the birth of our first daughter in China to the birth of our second in Ireland, I saw firsthand how the care I received varied greatly—and often, not for the better. These experiences, combined with my time in Kuwait, exposed me to the deep flaws within the global healthcare system and how many people, including myself, were failed by it.
The lack of evidence-based information, informed consent, and adequate support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum left me feeling isolated and unsupported. These struggles, including postpartum depression, anxiety, and PTSD, ignited my passion to become a doula. I knew I had to do something to change the way families experience pregnancy and birth.
The transformation I went through, from pre-kids to post-parenthood, was profound. It led me on a path of unlearning, self-discovery, and healing—fueled by curiosity and the desire to create a better experience for others. Now, as a birth keeper and advocate, I aim to prevent trauma, protect reproductive health, and guide others through their own healing journeys.
The system is broken, but I’m here to offer a different way. Through comprehensive antenatal workshops, I provide evidence-based education, share real-life experiences, and ensure that each session is interactive and engaging. With my background in education and my dedication to supporting all learning styles, you won’t find another workshop quite like mine. I also incorporate Hypnobirthing to help families prepare for a calm, empowered birth.
Having worked with families across Kuwait, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany and more, my support is always inclusive, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed. My goal is to meet you where you are, moving forward at your pace and on your terms.
As a trauma practitioner, I’m deeply passionate about hearing your story, validating your experiences, and guiding you toward healing. Recently, I’ve incorporated Reiki into my practice to offer even more support to those who trust me with their journeys.
Whether you need a listening ear or practical guidance, I’m here for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to supporting you.
