About me

Hi, I’m Tamar, a London-based doula and reflexologist.

My passion for supporting others on their journey towards wellness grew from my own experience of conception and motherhood. While working as a massage therapist, I discovered that health issues were making it difficult for me to conceive and maintain a pregnancy. I was introduced to reflexology and was amazed by the positive impact it had on me. After becoming pregnant soon afterwards, I felt inspired to train as a reflexologist – not only to support people with general health concerns, but also to help women facing their own fertility challenges.

After having my three children, I trained as a doula. My experiences helped me recognise the profound impact that birth can have and the vital role compassionate, informed support plays in creating a positive birth experience.

I trained with Kicki Hansard at the Birth Bliss Academy and with the Birth Uprising Academy. Today, I bring together my professional training and personal experience to offer individualised support throughout fertility, pregnancy, birth and beyond.

“Tamar was an excellent support before, during and after birth. Even though the birth did not go as I imagined, having someone there who knew you and your wishes was priceless. She remained calm during the whole time and made sure my birth preferences were honoured as much as circumstances allowed.”

We can't thank Tamar enough for the support she gave us throughout our pregnancy and birth. We truly couldn't have imagined a better person to have by our side. Tamar made us feel safe, supported, and genuinely seen. Tamar gave us the confidence to trust ourselves and welcome our daughter into the world in the most natural, calm, and joyful way. We had dreamed of a home birth, and she calmly held faith in our plan until we were able to do the same. Her quiet confidence, simplicity, and natural approach have become an inseparable part of our birth story. We couldn't have wished for more intuitive and reassuring support. Thank you! Yair & Sivan

Tamar was our doula for the birth of our first baby girl and I can’t recommend her enough!!  Before the birth Tamar got to know us, gave us tips and resources and checked in regularly (always responding promptly to any questions and queries). We talked through our birth plan and she made sure she knew what our wishes were and plan B should it arise. When it came to the birth I was immediately drawn to Tamar’s calm and confident energy. She quietly gave me the strength, confidence and support I needed to birth my baby without any intervention (which was what I had hoped for) When things didn’t go to plan she kept my husband calm and advocated for us, keeping the birth space we had created. I felt so strong and I truly believe that the positive outcome of our birth was in large thanks to Tamar. Tamar has a very special gift for this kind of work and anyone would be lucky to have her with them at their birth. We can’t thank her enough!

Tamar supported me during the births of both of my children, and she was truly amazing each time. From our first conversation, she took the time to make sure we were completely on the same page, which gave me so much confidence going into the experience. On the day I gave birth, she was attentive, supportive, and brought such a calm, positive energy. I felt genuinely cared for throughout, and having her by my side made a real difference. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

I saw Tamar regularly throughout my pregnancy for reflexology and would highly recommend her! Not only were the sessions very relaxing and effective (eg to help with digestion, prepare for birth), Tamar was so generous with her support and advice both in and out of the sessions. She has such a relaxing presence and is hugely knowledgable / experienced, and helped me feel very prepared for labour. Having Tamar’s support throughout my pregnancy was invaluable!

I honestly don’t know what we would have done without Tamar during our birth experience. Having the support before, during and after for both my partner and I, was so invaluable. She was always there for us and advocated for me when I was really worn down from a long labour. When things didn’t go to plan she was such a calm presence and helped me make decisions at each stage. Her positivity and support really got me through. It is a real privilege to have a doula and is obviously a cost to take into consideration but in my opinion it was worth every penny. I won’t hesitate to be in touch with her if I have another baby - thank you Tamar 💛

I had a wonderful experience working with Tamar as our birth doula. She is kind, knowledgeable and kept me feeling calm. Really enjoyed our prep meetings and support with birth plan, but most invaluable was having her by my side with my partner during the birth itself. She was able to advocate for me as well as keeping me focused when things got challenging. She is also a brilliant reflexologist - highly recommend! X

Tamar was our birth doula and I honestly cannot imagine the experience without her. From the very start, she helped us prepare with practical advice and emotional reassurance, keeping our minds open to different paths while respecting our birth plan. When labour took unexpected turns, Tamar was our anchor, calm, intuitive, and always knowing when to quietly support and when to step up and advocate for us. Her emotional intelligence is second to none. She supported both me and my partner through the toughest moments, giving us strength when we thought we couldn’t go on. Tamar’s ability to fight for your wishes while maintaining harmony with the medical team is a rare and invaluable skill. We also did reflexology sessions with Tamar during pregnancy, which were amazing for relaxation and preparing for birth. Her holistic approach, combining physical comfort techniques, advocacy and emotional support made all the difference. If you’re looking for a doula who is professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to creating a positive birth experience, Tamar Lawrence is the one. She turned what could have been a stressful time into the best experience of our lives. I would do it all again with her by our side!

My wife doesn’t have a google account. These are her words: We had Tamar for our home birth with our second child. I can’t rate her highly enough. Sitting down with Tamar during pregnancy for some planning sessions was really helpful for my husband and I to feel like we were all on the same page with what I wanted from the birth. At various points when I needed to go into hospital during my pregnancy having Tamar at the end of the phone for advice and information gathering was really invaluable. For the birth itself Tamar went above and beyond. Our childcare fell apart at the last minute and Tamar was able to help support me more than we had originally planned so that my husband could be present for our older child. I had the beautiful home that I had dreamed of. Tamar‘s presence was calm, reassuring, confidence throughout my birth and during a small medical emergency at the end. I feel that Tamar is very intuitive and good at reading the room. In the moments when I needed to go in on myself I felt that I had the space and the quiet to do that and in the moment when I reached out and needed more support Tamar was right there pre-empting it. I cannot picture how we would have managed my birth without her and recommend her to anyone looking for a birth doula.

Highly recommend Tamar! I went to Tamar regularly for reflexology to help with fertility and hormone imbalance. After 4 months I became pregnant and am now very happily getting ready to welcome new baby. With Tamar it wasn’t just the reflexology but also the emotional support and practical lifestyle recommendations. It felt like having someone hold your hand through what can be quite a private, isolating time. I came to really look forward to my weekly 60 minutes of peace. I always send my pregnant clients her way and would recommend her to anyone on their fertility journey.
