Hey, I’m Lauren.
I’m the mum behind Lauren Lennedy Coaching. I’m also a former police officer, mum to a little girl, and someone who had a traumatic birth in 2024 that changed the way I see birth, pregnancy and the whole maternity system.
I want to create change for women because too many of us go into birth not knowing we still have a say. Then after a traumatic birth, we go into the next pregnancy feeling like there’s no other option other than booking the caesarean or listening to every single thing the doctor says, without realising that’s part of the issue in the first place.

A hospital is there for illness and emergencies. Pregnancy isn’t an illness. Birth isn’t automatically an emergency. And I believe physiological birth deserves more respect than it gets.
I’m not saying there’s never a place for medical care. There absolutely is. But I do think medicine can meddle with birth far too much, far too quickly, and women are often left feeling like their body has failed them when really they were never given the time, space or support to trust it.
What I’ve been through and what I’ve learnt is that it’s not just about information.
You can read every book. Listen to every podcast. Do every course. But if you don’t do the inner work to trust yourself, trust your body and choose faith over fear, information alone won’t save you in the moment.
That’s why I’m here.
I want to help women prepare for birth in a way that feels grounded, informed and connected to themselves. I want to help women who are carrying trauma from a previous birth and want a different next time. I want women to understand that a traumatic first birth doesn’t mean they’re broken, and it doesn’t mean the next birth has to go the same way.
I’ll always choose physiological birth where it’s appropriate, and I’m not for everyone. That’s okay.
I’m not a midwife or doctor, and I don’t give medical advice. I’m a mum sharing research, lived experience and the questions I wish more women knew they could ask.
Because your body doesn’t stop being yours just because you’re pregnant.

Founder & Lead Coach
A soft introduction to align our values and vision for your birth.
In-depth exploration of physiology, comfort measures, and navigating hospital protocols.
Practicing clear communication and setting firm boundaries with care providers.
Continuous physical and emotional support during your unique labor and birth.
Postpartum space to process the birth and transition gently into parenthood.

If your first birth was difficult or traumatic, you might know you want things to be different next time but not know where to start. You may be carrying fear, replaying what happened, or worrying that you will freeze when decisions need to be made.
Preparing for a Different Birth is a five-part audio series with a printable workbook that helps you make sense of what happened, get clear on what you want to protect next time, and put a plan around the support, questions, boundaries, and choices that matter to you.
It helps women move from, “I want a different birth but I do not know how to prepare for one,” to, “I know what matters to me, what I am no longer willing to accept, and how I want to be supported.”
