The Specialist Midwife
Because every mother deserves the right start,
not just to 'get through' it.
After more than a decade as a Specialist Midwife, I’ve supported families through some of their most vulnerable moments. What I see time and again is how many mothers feel lost after birth, unsure what’s normal, where to turn, or what kind of help is even available.
Too often, women are told they’re 'fine' when they don’t feel fine.
They’re given advice that focuses on the baby, while no one checks how they are really doing.
I created Life After Birth to change that.
To make postnatal support simple, accessible, and grounded in understanding.
Because when a mother feels supported, emotionally, physically, and practically, everything changes.
Recovery feels smoother.
Feeding becomes less pressured.
And confidence begins to grow quietly in the background.
You don’t need to do this alone.
I can help you find the calm, confidence, and connection every mother deserves, from the very start.

I feel incredibly lucky to have had Lara as my midwife. From first meeting her I instantly felt at ease, her kind hearted nature emulates through and how passionate she is about her job. She really cares about her patients and making sure you feel supported in every possible way. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has so much experience in so many different areas you really are getting so much more than a midwife, more like a confidant and a friend. She went out of her way to visit me at home after birth and was a huge support in helping me with my breastfeeding struggles in the early days, without her I wouldn’t have gotten through those tough days. I can’t thank her enough for making my first experience so positive when I know so many others don’t get that level of care and support. The world needs more midwives like Lara, she really is a credit to her profession and a truly beautiful human!
Katy Schulz
The most INCREDIBLE human and midwife. Lara makes you feel so comfortable and able to open up about any questions or issues you might have throughout your pregnancy & postpartum. She was so reliable when it came to giving me the reassurance or advice when needed. Anyone who has Lara as their midwife is so lucky and is in the best possible hands. She genuinely cares about her Mums (AND DADS!!) and makes sure you are well looked after. Forever a lifelong friend now. Couldn't recommend enough
