About me

My name is Lauren. I am a passionate birth worker and postpartum support person dedicated to aiding families on their incredible journey into parenthood. My own transformative experience during labor and postpartum inspired me to embark on this meaningful path, shaping my commitment to provide compassionate and comprehensive care to birthing individuals and their partners. As someone who took every measure to prepare for an empowered birth, only to face unexpected twists and turns, I understand the profound impact that labor can have on one's physical, emotional, and mental well-being. This personal journey fueled my determination to become a doula, ensuring that no one navigates this transformative experience alone. I bring to my practice not only professional training and expertise but a genuine understanding of the emotional and physical complexities of childbirth and early parenthood. My goal is to be more than just a doula; I am here to be your advocate, confidante, and unwavering support system. Whether you are expecting your first child or adding to your beautiful family, I am dedicated to being IN IT with you. It would be an honor to join you on this incredible adventure, offering the support (mind, body, spirit), knowledge, and compassionate care you deserve.

Service introduction

My approach as a birth doula is entirely client-centered. I’m here to understand you, your family, and your unique needs. My goal is to support you in labor, not only as a barrier, but as an extension of you and your family, ensuring you feel educated, honored, and empowered throughout the process. Rather than being a passive participant, you’ll be actively engaged and in the drivers seat of decision making during your birth. Unlike other providers you may see occasionally, I meet with you and your family regularly to build a deep connection and trust. I’ll join you as early in labor as you wish and stay by your side through every moment until your baby is born and fed. I’m here as a constant source of support and encouragement, helping you achieve a positive and fulfilling experience before, during, and after birth.

Lauren was an absolute lifesaver throughout my wife and I's birthing experience. It was our first time and we really wanted to dive head first into educating ourselves about everything that had to do with giving birth and having a child. Lauren was so helpful with the entire process. She was so informed and educated about anything we brought up or asked questions about, she always had an answer or direction for us. She was so supportive throughout the entire process always being caring with every decision we had come to. She made our labor and delivery such a beautiful experience as well, she showed up at our residence at 2am ready for anything that may have came our way and helped my wife tremendously get to the hospital and ready to birth our baby! Lauren was such a strong powerhouse to have in our presence during it all and we would not have changed a thing, we are so thankful and grateful that we had Lauren by our side every step of the way and we will definitely be contacting Lauren when we have our 2nd!
