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.

My husband and I interviewed many doulas and ultimately hired Joslin and a partner doula who were the right fit for us and a very dynamic duo. Whether it was in preparation, at the hospital, or postpartum – Joslin provided guidance, support, and love every step of the way. Joslin is a licensed clinical social worker which definitely guides how she approaches her work as a doula. She is grounded and has a calming presence that helped me center myself in several challenging moments in labor and delivery and beyond.  When I told people at the hospital that Joslin was my doula it was like I name dropped a celebrity and it opened doors for us. Her knowledge of how hospitals operate was invaluable. I happened to deliver at a time when the hospital had more than twice as many people in active labor than they were equipped to handle.

An example of what working with Joslin was like that I can share - I ultimately had a belly birth and when I was recovering in the PACU the hospital staff were extremely overstretched. I had sent my husband to go meet our baby and in that moment having Joslin with me was everything. She worked the hospital staff and got me everything I needed, it was pure advocacy in a moment where I couldn’t advocate for myself – the essence of being a doula.

And then in postpartum when I realized I had birth trauma and was grieving some of the moments I had envisioned in birth that didn’t ultimately go as expected, Joslin was exactly who I needed. I can’t imagine going through the perinatal period again without her.

Joslin was the most incredible support person in the room for the birth of my son, I could not recomend her more highly!

We had an unusual sistuation that required us to hire Joslin at the last minute, the day before I was induced. My husband suddenly developed a terrible case of vertigo and my primary doula, a friend from several hours away, was not going to be able to make it. The situation had me extremely anxious about not having a support person the day of my delivery, which led me to Joslin through the my local network of doulas. The effect of her calming demeanor and professionalism was immediate on both myself and my husband. She helped me navigate some issues we encountered with the hospital and overall feel very empowered with my birth experience. This was my second birth and I had a lot of latent trauma from the delivery of my first child. Joslin helped me work through many of the anxieties I harboured from my first child to make this delivery one of the most incredible and empowered moments of my life. I am truely grateful for her support and service. 

She has also been a tremendous support post partum, checking in on me and the baby regularily. She is truly a wonderful doula and person.
