About MummaPod

Welcome…

to MummaPod, born in 2016, with the intention of educating and preparing parents for a positive, beautiful birth experience that is truly unique to them.

I am Lara…

and I run MummaPod. I am a very experienced Hypnobirthing and antenatal educator, doula and breastfeeding counsellor; and mum to three amazing children, Ralph, born in 2016, Baxter, born in 2020 and Victor, born in 2023. Giving birth completely changed my life - I left a successful career in corporate fundraising to work with women and families to help them navigate the maternity system to help them have a positive birth experience. I support parents in taking control in the choices and decisions about their birth and help them to birth the way they want. In order to make these choices you need to have evidenced-based knowledge about birth and understand the tools and techniques right for you to help you have the birth you want.

You can have an empowered c-section, just as much as you can have an empowered home birth - and everything in between

It is a human right for women to be able to choose the kind of birth she would like, of course medical situations influence our choices, but I strongly feel even when a woman has limited choices that these choices should be hers and should be supported.

The goal of MummaPod is to support women as they prepare for birth, pregnancy and beyond. We aim to remove all fear and negative preconceptions and give you a full pregnancy, birth and postnatal education.
