I booked a pregnancy massage with Lauryn on a whim when I was pregnant with my second baby. I was really feeling the aches and pains more severely compared to my first pregnancy and having very close together pregnancies, my body hadn't had time to fully recover in between.
I honestly couldn't believe how amazing the experience was! Lauryn does a very thorough consultation at the beginning of the session, going over any concerns, pains you may be experiencing and answers any questions. She explains what she intends on doing during the session and always checks in that you're comfortable.
Later on when I found out that my baby was breech (second breech pregnancy), I went back to Lauryn for specific breech balancing sessions. I had a traumatic birth with my eldest in which positioning had played a major role and I really didn't want to go through that again. Lauryn was honestly a godsend. She is a spinning babies practitioner and helped me through various spinning babies exercises to help encourage baby to move into a more suitable position. It was never painful or uncomfortable. I also told Lauryn that I wanted to try and avoid the ECV procedure (done at the hospital) so she was very open to helping me work through various spinning babies exercises (both with her and at home) to achieve this goal.
Lauryn did an amazing job! Her gentle spinning babies techniques worked to encourage my baby to move into a more suitable position (confirmed by midwife) and this birth went SO much better than my first. I truly think the work Lauryn performed (including helping me to relax my body and mind) helped me achieve a great birth experience and ultimately heal from the past trauma I had associated with birth.
I've since done one postpartum massage and plan to do a few more. I was recommended Lauryn's services by a friend and I would recommend her to any pregnant person. Lauryn is professional, attentive and truly just wants to work with you to achieve your goals and help you feel at ease.
Thank you so much, Lauryn for everything you've done for me ❤️ - Chloe McKellar··from Google
I was recommended Lauryn by my sister who had gone to her later in her pregnancy and just raved about her experiences. I was getting sore hips and legs at around 22 weeks and knew I needed to do something so I booked an appointment. One side was particularly sore so Lauryn did some dry needling and the pain was relieved instantly! I honestly felt like a different person afterwards, I was so much more mobile and even less tired. I can't want for my next one 🙏

I recently attended a postnatal massage training day with Lauryn to compliment my work as a birth and postnatal doula. It was absolutely excellent, on every level. Lauryn is an experienced, knowledgeable and clear teacher, who shows compassion to her students and clients alike. I have attended a birth preparation workshop with her and some of my doula clients in the past, so I have seen her working in both contexts. I was able to use my new postnatal massage skills immediately after the training with a client who was 1 week postpartum, and who felt immediate benefit and release of tension from the early days of breastfeeding. I am thrilled to be able to offer this to my own clients and thank Lauryn for getting back to teaching to pass on her incredible skills and wisdom!
