Rachel

A very big hello!

My name is Rachel and I’ve been a Registered Midwife for 6 years, currently working on the Northern Beaches, Sydney.

I have a passion for working and supporting women and their families through the exciting journey to parenthood! I’m a firm believer and advocate for the importance of education and informed decision making during pregnancy, labour & birth as well as the postnatal period.

Women are so powerful, and it’s such a privilege to walk beside them and help them unlock their inner strength and wisdom.

    “Attending the classes as a midwife myself, even I learnt a lot and I was super impressed with the content and Lauren’s simple yet thorough explanation of all things labour, birth and postpartum. My hubby has also come away as an expert and really enjoyed the day. Thanks Loz for making us feel prepared and excited for the journey ahead!”

  • Nadine

    ‘We did Lauren’s class in Sydney last weekend and couldn’t recommend it more. She presented all the information with such knowledge and an unbiased option presenting facts and making you feel knowledgeable throughout the birthing process. My husband even feels confident in what to do and how to respond, he said he is so glad he got to see a new perspective on things. I feel so confident going into but the and really looking forward to the process.’

  • Beck

    ‘My husband and I did Lauren’s class last week & we’re blown away by how prepared it made us feel for labour and having our baby! Me and my husband were tossing up whether to do the class however both walked out feeling so thankful we did!

    We both learnt a lot & it’s allowed us to have some in depth chats about birth & be educated on options and the process/what to actually expect!’
