Get to know me
Laura Spence
Founder & ADHD Midwife
I'm Laura — a midwife with nearly 15 years' experience and an ADHD diagnosis that changed everything. My mission is to transform how neurodivergent people experience pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.
Before my diagnosis, I spent years feeling like I was constantly failing — disorganised, always late, emotionally overwhelmed. In reality, I was navigating the world with an undiagnosed neurodivergent brain. That lived experience became the foundation for NeuroNatal®.
A better system for neurodivergent families
Neurodivergent parents are too often dismissed, misdiagnosed, or traumatised. Sensory overload, birth trauma, and executive dysfunction should not be treated as personal failings.
I saw first-hand how the perinatal system overlooks neurodivergent parents. There were no tailored resources, no inclusive clinical training, and a harmful assumption that one-size-fits-all. So I built what I needed and couldn't find.
NeuroNatal® is a neurodivergent-led, feminist, trauma-informed social enterprise reimagining perinatal care from the inside out.
