Welcome to my page. I’m Larri, owner of LarenaDoula. If you’re here, well done, it means you’re already taking a powerful step towards owning your birth experience.
You’re here because you don’t want to just wing it. You’ve heard the horror stories. You’ve seen birth played out on Hollywood screens as something chaotic, scary, and out of control, and somewhere inside, you’re thinking: there has to be more than this.
And you’re right, there is.
Whether you're planning to give birth, support a partner through it, or simply want clarity and confidence on this journey, you deserve better than fear and uncertainty. You deserve informed choices, strong support, and a birth experience that leaves you feeling proud, powerful, and whole.
That’s where I come in.
Choosing to work with me isn’t just an investment in doula support, it’s a decision to step into your power, to say yes to guidance that’s grounded, compassionate, and fiercely on your side. I’m here to walk with you, challenge the old narratives, and help you navigate your birth with calm, confidence and care, whatever that looks like for you.
Doula Support for Birth and Beyond
Bringing a new life into the world is a profound experience, and having the right support can make all the difference.
Research shows that having a birth doula by your side can lead to:
-
A lower chance of an emergency caesarean birth
-
A higher likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth
-
A reduced need for pain medication
-
An average shorter labour
-
A lower risk of a low five-minute APGAR score for your baby
-
A reduced likelihood of dissatisfaction with your birth experience
Support for Life After Birth
Support doesn’t end at birth. The postnatal period is a time of adjustment and recovery, and a postnatal doula can help by:
-
Supporting a quicker and smoother recovery
-
Reducing the likelihood of feeding challenges
-
Helping you build confidence in your new role
-
Lowering the risk of postnatal mental health struggles
Whether you are preparing for birth or navigating the early days with your baby, a doula provides continuous, compassionate care - ensuring you feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
