Full Bloom Doula
‘‘Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.’’
-Barbara Katz Rothman
Welcome,
I’m Layla - the face behind Full Bloom Doula. I offer a 1-1 service to empower, nurture & hold a safe space where together we explore all aspects of pregnancy, birth & the 4th trimester, to create a pathway where all your choices are fully informed & respected so when the time comes to welcome your baby earth side you feel excited, empowered & safe.
As a mother to three, I have firsthand experience how journeying through motherhood -whether for the 1st or 5th time- can bring up many complex emotions & choices. I understand that every mother & birth experience is unique, so I take the time to truly understand you & honor your wishes.
My aim as your Doula is to support you in meeting your baby in the most loving and authentic way possible, so that you take away proud & happy memories of your birth experience & step into motherhood feeling confident & supported.

A bit about me…
Yikes it’s hard to summarise how this journey started… Motherhood cracked me open in so many ways that I was not prepared for, I was met with a depth of vulnerability & loneliness I had never experienced. Yet, it also enabled me to uncover strength, humanity & love like never before.
My experiences & innate desire to care for, nurture & illuminate women’s power could not have lead me down any other path than becoming a Doula. I believe that bringing a baby into the world & becoming a mother, is a rite of passage. My commitment to you, is to make sure you feel heard, supported & nurtured throughout time together.
Other than my love for continued education & knowledge on all things pregnancy, birth & babies - I also enjoy;
Cooking/Baking & sharing my food with family & friends
Music is huge in our house, I love all sorts of genres - dancing with my three children happens daily in our home.
Sea swims (on fair weather days!), reading, slow summer days with my little family, coffee & cardamom buns all bring me heaps of joy.
