Let’s not sugarcoat it. Early motherhood can feel like being dropped into a beautiful, bewildering storm. You love your baby with every cell of your body, but your shoulders ache, your mind races, your sleep is all over the place, and some days, even standing up straight without your body feeling sore counts as a victory.
At Galene Bathhouse, we’ve always believed in rituals that restore you—body and soul. Our tea baths have long been a haven for new mums needing to press pause. But we also know that when your body is genuinely crying out for support—when the postpartum aches linger, tension knots your muscles, and emotional exhaustion becomes overwhelming—self-care sometimes needs an extra helping hand.
Laura Sierra isn’t just a practitioner—she’s the kind of person you instantly feel safe with. Based in London, she’s an osteopath, birth doula, and mum of two, and her whole approach is built around women’s well-being and the sacred bond between mother and baby.
Her work focuses on supporting new mothers through those raw, in-between moments when your hips don’t feel quite right after labour, when you’ve been feeding for hours and your back’s in knots, or when you simply need someone to see you, not just the baby.
With a background in physiotherapy and postgraduate training in paediatrics and obstetrics, Laura brings both medical expertise and intuitive care. She treats everything from postural imbalances to pelvic discomfort and post-birth fatigue, but she does it with gentleness, with real listening, and with a mum’s empathy.
What Makes Her Different (And Why That Matters)
Laura doesn’t rush. She doesn’t pathologize. She meets you where you are, with hands that know how to ease pain and words that calm your nervous system. Her clinic is a place where you take off the mental load along with your coat, where healing happens at your pace.
For our community of new mums who cherish the calm of our tea baths, Laura offers the kind of hands-on, professional care that extends that calm into your physical body.

What It Looks Like In Practice
You walk into Laura’s calming space, your newborn finally asleep and your body aching in all the places no one warned you about. Before you even say a word, you exhale—deeply. Laura meets you with the kind of care that understands what postpartum really feels like. She eases that nagging pain in your neck, gently realigns your posture still bearing the weight of pregnancy, and speaks to you like a friend who also happens to be clinically trained in exactly what new mothers need.
Then, you leave with a Galene tea bath in hand—perhaps:
• Summer Garden:
A soothing blend of chamomile, rose petals, elderflower, calendula, oats, coconut milk—and even butterfly pea and chrysanthemum—designed to soften sensitive, reactive skin and support deep calm through each hormonal cycle
• Misty Forest:
Earthy botanicals like hinoki oil, sweet birch, motherwort, jasmine, centella, and oats, crafted to help you unwind after stress, relieve tension, and restore inner stillness
• High Mountain:
Floral lavender, anti-inflammatory calendula, comforting oats and coconut milk, plus antioxidant-rich oolong tea, mugwort, and lemon balm—to calm the mind, ease into evening rest, and nourish skin.
When you're ready, always guided by how your body’s healing and your doctor’s advice—you reclaim those 20 sacred minutes. You draw a gentle bath, steep your chosen blend, cue the QR-code meditation, press play on the calming playlist, and simply breathe. Your personal reset: no pressure, no guilt—just care, comfort, and calm.
You Deserve This Kind of Care
