Lawren and Joslin were exceptional doulas, providing invaluable support during an exciting yet also tender and vulnerable time in our lives. Despite the array of emotions they encountered, they effortlessly connected with us, creating a bond that made the journey so much more manageable. Their perspectives and knowledge were instrumental in forming a much-needed support network for us. We highly recommend them without reservation – our experience working with Lawren and Joslin was extremely positive and we will forever be grateful to them.

Thank goodness for Lawren! So Lawren wasn't actually my doula.. hear me out. She was the "backup" doula that MY doula had coordinated "just in case" I went into labor on the ONE day she wasn't available. My husband and I met with Lawren and my doula once at our home and it was a great meeting but we figured what are the chances we're going to need her? WELL, we needed her. I was in labor at St.Peters on the very day my doula had a clinical for nursing school that she could not miss. Enter Lawren: with her bag of essential oils, fairy lights, and comfort. She was WONDERFUL. I had not had the opportunity to develop a rapport with her however that did NOT matter. Her presence was comforting and reassuring. Her suggestions her well-timed and appropriate. She turned a hospital bathroom into a cozy labor cave. If that's not magic I don't know what is. When I was cold, she wrapped me in her rebozo which she allowed me to keep. She stepped in and provided me with exactly what I needed and hoped to receive from a doula. She was a great advocate for me with the hospital staff. She has a great knowledge of labor techniques and strategies. I wholeheartedly recommend Lawren's services to anyone who is looking for a doula.

We were put in contact with Lawren by a postpartum doula we planned to work with because my birth plan had to change when I was informed the Dr was planning an induction. I had been working on birth prep with a different outcome in mind, and I had a lot of questions when I heard about the induction plan. Lawren was able to meet with us in person before the birth, more than once, despite our unorthodox situation of contacting her at the last minute. She gave us a run down of how inductions typically work, what I could expect, and most importantly empowered me so that I still felt that I could aim for the birth experience I wanted despite this last minute change in plans. She truly listened to what I was hoping for, what I was nervous about (this was our first child so it was all unknown), and what I was wondering, and she made me feel so much better when it came time to go in for our induction. 

On the day, she was available and we were in contact via text as things progressed. Once we got going, it all happened fast, but Lawren was there, by our sides, helping me stay calm and making me feel like I still had a say in what was happening. She made sure I was as comfortable as I could be, and she stayed with us until we were being transferred to the recovery room after it all was over. There were so many little things Lawren was doing while we were in the thick of it, I am sure I'm not even aware of them all - cold compresses, back rubs, encouragement.... But the way she made me feel is most important in that moment. I felt I was safe, supported, listened to, and strong. That was invaluable.

As the husband, I had the privilege of witnessing Lawren's incredible support throughout our pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. My wife gave birth, and Lawren played an invaluable role in making the experience smooth and memorable for both of us. She excelled in communication, helping us craft a tailored birth plan and guiding me, a first-time dad, to be a supportive birthing partner. Lawren's expertise and her ability to work seamlessly with hospital staff made the labor experience much smoother and calmer. Her post-birth care and guidance during the postpartum period were invaluable. We can't thank Lawren enough for her unwavering support and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking an exceptional doula. She made our transition to parenthood a positive and memorable one.

I had the pleasure of having Lawren as my doula, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Her competence and deep knowledge of labor and delivery were evident throughout the process. She empowered me to make informed choices, and her attentiveness and excellent communication made me feel confident and supported. She was there every step of the way and always let me call her and ask a million questions!! Lawren's support during my pregnancy and labor was invaluable in many ways, particularly in helping me make informed choices. She went above and beyond by thoroughly explaining the pros and cons of various options, ensuring I understood the implications of each decision. Lawren's collaboration with the nurses and midwives at Burdett birth center was seamless, and it greatly contributed to the positive outcome of my birth experience. I look forward to having her by my side again for a second birth. I truly loved the care and support she provided.
