Post a testimonial for Laurynn Howard

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for having Laurynn by my side throughout my birth experience. From the moment we first met, her warmth, kindness, and deep care for both me and my family were evident. She wasn’t just a doula; she became an integral part of our journey, providing support, education, and love every step of the way. Laurynn advocated for me when I needed it most, ensuring that my voice was heard, and I felt empowered to make the best decisions for myself and my baby. Her presence was not only a source of strength for me but also for my husband, who benefited greatly from her guidance and reassurance.
With Laurynn’s help, I was able to achieve the unmedicated birth I had always hoped for, and it was truly a beautiful and empowering experience. I couldn’t have done it without her. She is more than just a doula; she is a gift, and we are forever thankful for her unwavering dedication and love

Laurynn is the absolute best!!! I initially met Laurynn through her placenta encapsulation services, which she performed so respectfully and lovingly. She made the process so easy by picking up the placenta from the hospital and then dropping off the vitamins at my home the day I was discharged. I felt wonderful during those first few weeks postpartum and I believe that the vitamins helped so much in my recovery process!
When my son was a few weeks old I ended up reaching out to Laurynn for daytime doula services. She came and watched my baby and helped out around the house so that I could take time to rest and recenter. Since then, she has been a source of comfort and knowledge as I have navigated my "fourth trimester" and beyond. I am so grateful to have found someone who I can trust throughout my motherhood journey and I cannot wait to use her services for future pregnancies/babies!!

Laurynn was the best doula I could have asked for! She listened to everything I wanted and educated me on so many things I didn't know about. She would always check up on me while I was pregnant and always offered to come to my appointments if I needed her. She would give me so many resources to read over so I could be educated on anything I had questions on. When it came to giving birth she was absolutely AMAZING!! She stayed with me the whole time and helped me breath through my contractions. She made sure that I was getting everything I wanted and didn't let the doctors tell me what I wanted. She captured the most beautiful photos of everything so I could have all the memories of my birth. My boyfriend always tells me we couldn't have done it without her. Even 4 months later she still checks up on me and we created a friendship through this all. She still answers questions I have and always invites me to mommy meet ups so I can meet and talk to other women. My whole experience was so beautiful because of her and I will use her again if I ever get pregnant again.

Laurynn is the best! We had many helpful classes and sessions leading up to and after delivery. She also remained accessible for questions. Laurynn was a big advocate for me in the delivery room, ensuring what we had on the birth plan went how I wanted. She was a huge support for the begging in stages and active labor all the way through delivery. She is a very comforting human and makes you feel at ease in the delivery room. I will always hire her for future deliveries.

My experience with Laurynn Howard as a doula was amazing! She's very versatile and will help elevate and make any experience you choose to take perfect. She's open and non judgmental towards how you want your birth experience to be natural, medicated, home birth, hospital, etc. She will be there for you and help you through it all even after the birth! She's very dedicated and enjoys helping people bring precious babies into the world. Absolutely love and recommend her as a doula for any mommy to be she's amazing!
