About Me

I’m Laura Stocks and I work with women and families in a number of supporting roles to prepare for the birth of your babies.

I have three children with my husband and we live in a village right on the Hampshire/Surrey border.

All my births were vastly different; My first son was born on the labour ward as an induction, my daughter was born in a midwife lead unit in the water and my youngest son was born at home. Although so different in so many ways, two things ring true for them all; they were incredibly positive and the three most empowering moments of my life.

I believe that by stripping back negative connotations of birth, working through fears and emotional triggers, whilst informing yourself about the physiology of birth and your choices, you’ll have all the tools you’ll need to have a positive birth experience.

I believe in birth. I believe in you.

I love low key family days, any excuse for a party, quality time with friends, good food & wine, letting my hair down on the dance floor, anything sparkly and laughing until my face & belly hurt!

If you think I could support you on your journey in anyway – please holler, it would be so great to speak to you.

I offer a range of services including:

  • Private Doula support at your birth

  • Private Postnatal Doula support to help in those first few weeks/months

  • Hypnobirthing birth preparation – online or in person, privately or as small group sessions

  • Postnatal massage & pregnancy massage

  • Three Step Rewind technique for Birth Trauma.

Please do get in touch if any of these are of interest, it would be a pleasure to talk to you. I travel across Surrey & Hampshire offering all my Doula support services.

What makes me the right fit for you?

I bring absolutely no judgement to your birth space. I have no motive, other than to help you navigate your wishes, your hopes, perhaps your fears and your desires for YOUR birth.

I don’t come to birth with just an experience of calm hypnobirths which i’m evangelical about. As a Doula I see birth, in all its extremes and all its diversity. I bring this experience to your space – a path walked before, a companion to help you navigate which way works for YOU.

I believe in YOU. In your ability to make choices, in your body’s ability to birth and in your capabilities as a mother.

I work across Hampshire & Surrey to bring you unwavering support from the moment you pee on a stick (or whenever you contact me) to the moment you feel empowered as a mother to fly. I am ferociously protective over the families I work for, giving you my time, my knowledge and my love.

Kind words people say

  • “Hypnobirthing was a new concept to us with baby no.3 but from the 1st session Laura made us feel completely relaxed. Her patience and knowledge helped make our sessions easy to understand/relate to and her excitement and support has just made me so excited for the big day, I know how ever our birth turns out my husband and I have learnt the skills to stay in control and work as a team….”

  • “Having Laura there was like having the support of a best friend, sister, mother and grandmother all rolled into one. It undoubtedly would not have been the same experience without her”

  • “Laura has the rare ability to bring warmth and positive energy to any room and connect with people in a real and meaningful way. As I prepared to welcome my son, she helped me create a calm, safe and empowered space which would become my haven during birth. It was her voice that kept me grounded and enabled me to welcome my baby into the world in the way we wanted – with love”

  • “As a first-time father-to-be, I wanted to support my wife’s journey to motherhood at the same time as feeling informed and ready myself. Laura was fantastic at sharing the facts around pregnancy and birth in a straightforward and accessible way, as well as providing practical tips on how I could really turn up and make a difference for my wife. Understanding that I play an important role…. "

  • “After a premature birth with our 1st baby, Laura helped us revisit and reflect on our complete experience in a positive way helping to prepare for the arrival of our second child. Emotionally this was a great help along with the relaxation techniques that certainly made the final pregnancy weeks, labour and birth completely different this time around. She is such a strong positive person who’s encouragement and….”
