Our approach is calm, non-judgemental and evidence-informed, empowering parents with the knowledge and confidence to care for themselves and their baby.
At Settling Home, we believe every family deserves to feel supported, connected and confident from the very beginning.
Meet Lauren
I'm a qualified midwife with over 16 years of experience supporting women, babies and families through pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester — sitting alongside them through the tender, exhausting and joyful moments that come with this season.
I'm also a mum to three wonderful children, a wife and dog mum, so I understand firsthand that becoming a parent is both incredibly beautiful and wonderfully challenging. That's exactly why I do this work — to be a steady, caring presence for families when they need it most, so no one has to navigate this journey alone.
