My name is Laura Hayward. I am a Doula & Reiki Master – My business, Just Pause (www.justpause.com), services clients in Manhattan and the Hamptons.
I have been learning and practicing Reiki all my life. My father is a Reiki Master in England, and I followed in his footsteps, becoming a Reiki Master myself when I moved from London to New York in 2017.
I am passionate about birth and like to bring Reiki into my work as a Doula. I find that this helps with pain management, brings a state of calm, and balances the energy in the birthing room.
In addition to this Energy work, I also incorporate the healing power of animals and nature into my practise with Animal Assisted sessions.
My wife and I live in the Hamptons, New York, with our cats, dogs, chickens and horse.
