Welcome to DoulaCare
I'm called Laureen Eaton, a certified birth doula based in Crawley, West Sussex, serving families across East Sussex and Surrey. With over 10 years of professional experience and more than 50 births supported, I'm passionate about empowering women and their partners to feel confident throughout their birth experience.
As your doula, I provide comprehensive support that goes beyond medical care. I offer practical, physical, emotional, and spiritual guidance to you and your family before, during, and after the birth of your baby. My role is to ensure you feel safe, supported, and informed every step of the way.
Why Choose a Doula?
Pregnancy and childbirth are wonderful and exciting times, but they can also bring uncertainty and new experiences as you journey into parenthood. Having a doula by your side can make all the difference. I'm here to:
- Provide continuous support throughout labour and birth
- Help you understand your options and make informed decisions
- Support your birth partner to participate meaningfully
- Create a calm, nurturing environment for your birth
- Offer postnatal care and breastfeeding support
- Be available 24/7 around your due date
