Adding Lauren to my birth team was the best decision I could have made… I was taking classes for the Bradley Method, and while they helped me understand the process my body was about to go through, Lauren was instrumental in ensuring the labor and delivery process went as smoothly as possible. My hospital had a horrific administrative mix-up and had 3 charts open for me at once, and an L&D nurse who was sweet but could not readily identify my stages of labor (e.g., contractions, pushing) - Lauren took the reins with ease. I have very little memories of my L&D nurse’s involvement, but am well aware of the impact Lauren had - from coaching my husband to be involved in my unmedicated pain management, helping me get into different positions, and working with my husband to communicate with the nurses and doctors, to making the room more festive with peppermint scents and lights just so I could feel a bit more at ease (December baby). I’m so grateful for Lauren and highly recommend making her a part of your birth team!

Lauren was the BEST decision I made in my birth plan! I was hoping and planning for a VBAC and she was so instrumental in my success. She communicated so well with the rest of the care team at the hospital, took such great care of me, and was so knowledgeable. She came to me at the hospital directly after birthing with another mom in another hospital. And despite not having any sleep, she showed up and gave us 110%. We are forever grateful for her and I will recommend her a millions times over.

Lauren was the doula that aided in my redemptive, unmedicated VBAC. Her knowledge, compassion, and endurance are unmatched. From the moment I spoke with her on the phone, I knew I wanted her support at my birth! I’m so glad that I followed up and was able to rely on her in those testing moments. Lauren is a beautiful soul, incredible worker, and has a genuine connection to The Lord. If that’s something you’re looking for— call her. She was irreplaceable in my birth story and I’m grateful to call her a friend even afterwards.

My husband and I had the privilege of having Lauren support us during the birth of our son, and I couldn't be more grateful for her. Throughout the entire experience, she was so supportive and knowledgeable. Having her on our team gave me the ability to trust my instincts and be confident in my decisions. Her dedication and genuine care for her clients was so apparent throughout the whole process; I always looked forward to our conversations and was excited to have her with us on such a special day. Lauren was such a blessing to us, I can’t recommend her enough!

Lauren was such an asset to have on our birth team. She was a wealth of information while I walked through my first pregnancy and she was literally a godsend during labor and delivery. She was there every step of the way for every moment and for every question I needed answered. If you are trying to decide if Lauren is the doula for you let me just say, SHE IS! She is so sweet, kind and compassionate. She’s extremely knowledgeable and just and amazing woman all around. It also says speaks volumes that my husband (who originally was hesitant about hiring a doula) insists on having Lauren on our birth team for any future pregnancies because she was so helpful to him as well. She is absolutely wonderful and you will not regret it if you choose Lauren as your doula.

Lauren was absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I decided pretty last minute, about 36 weeks that we wanted to hire a doula to support me during labor. Lauren quickly met with us in our home to discuss my birth preferences. She was so friendly and calm, and I quickly knew I wanted her to assist us with the birth of our son. She was supportive and helpful during our experience at the hospital. I absolutely recommend hiring a doula of it’s something you are considering. I highly recommend Lauren, as she was so helpful and encouraging thought the whole experience.

My husband and I selected Lauren as our doula for the birth of our first child -- we are so happy that we did! Lauren was incredibly helpful in the months leading up to pregnancy. She provided recommendations and resources for us to determine our birth preferences and was a valuable sounding board when I was diagnosed with a high-risk pregnancy condition that required an induction -- and, consequently, a complete re-think of those preferences. 

During my actual induction and labor, Lauren was an invaluable support person for both me and my husband. From bringing string lights to make the delivery room cozy, to guiding us through exercises during the unmedicated portion of my labor, to fetching water, to helping us determine the "next right step" when my labor stalled, we cannot imagine not having had Lauren as part of our pregnancy and birth journey.
